- Bali Traditional House Gung Aji - The Balinese traditional compound is essentially divided into three sections, each serving a distinct purpose. Following the directional concept of their traditional compass, sacred structures like shrines are constructed towards the mountain side of the compound (head), the living quarters are situated in the middle yard (body), and the kitchen along with the remaining land, where waste is disposed of, is located towards the sea. A Balinese traditional compound is typically enclosed with red bricks, sandstone, or odove walls, topped with thatched roofs made from sedge grass or rice stubble. The entrance gate is positioned at the front of the compound. On either side of the entrance walls, there are two niches that serve as substitutes for shrines. If the family is financially well-off, they often build separate, sometimes elaborate, shrines.
- Mas Carving Center - Mas Village is a must-visit destination in Bali.
This artistic village has deep historical roots. The wood carving art produced here is vast and diverse, representing idols for devotion (arca idol), everyday Balinese social life (farmer, fisherman, worker, intellectual, merchant, etc.), and abstract dimensions reflecting the artist’s imagination, attentive to reality, dynamics, and life philosophy. The villagers, like those in other tourist villages in Bali, have transitioned from an agrarian society to a crafting society.
- Tohpati Village - The term Batik comes from the Javanese words ‘amba’ meaning write and ‘titik’ meaning dot. Thus, Batik can be translated as a traditional form of fabric painting. Various regions in Indonesia have their own Batik, including Bali. Balinese Batik is gaining popularity due to its beautiful patterns and stunning colors. Tohpati Village is an ideal place to explore numerous handwoven products, perfect as gifts from Bali. Similar to Batik, the hand weaving from Tohpati Village is crafted using traditional methods, requiring significant time to produce, resulting in superior quality products. The most popular motif for handwoven products from this village is the one used for endek, traditional Balinese attire.
- Tegenungan Waterfall - The waterfall is just a short walk down the trail from the parking area, where you can enjoy the lush green valley panorama with cascading water as the focal point. Dense foliage surrounds the falls, and the water flow is impressive year-round, peaking during the wet season (October to April). Visitors can descend to the expansive pebbly base and take a dip in the plunge pool, though caution is advised after heavy rains due to the risk of flash floods.
- Tegalalang Rice Terrace - Tegallalang Rice Terraces in Ubud are renowned for their stunning rice paddy scenes, featuring the subak (traditional Balinese cooperative irrigation system). Tegallalang is one of the three most magnificent terraced landscapes in Ubud’s shared region, alongside Pejeng and Campuhan villages. The Tegallalang rice terraces offer a picturesque view that extends downwards and across the valley slopes. The elevated roadside location is cool and breezy, making it a popular spot for tourists to stop and take photos.
- Puri Saren Palace - Puri Saren Ubud.
In Bali, you will often encounter palatial structures with historical significance prefixed with the word Puri, meaning Balinese ‘royal palaces’. Puri generally refers to the residence of nobility in Bali, particularly of Balinese rajas and their kin. The Puri Saren Ubud Palace also serves as a cultural repository for arts, dance, and literature. The palace’s stage and meeting halls host international events.
- Puseh Batuan Temple - This 11th-century temple faces a separate large communal hall.
Batuan Temple, locally known as ‘Pura Puseh lan Pura Desa Adat Batuan’, is a prominent landmark in the village of Batuan. Beyond the five-tiered ‘candi bentar’ gate of Batuan Temple, you will find various reliefs depicting mythical Balinese figures and floral themes, as well as statues of the Hindu trinity, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, further inside. A series of multi-tiered thatched-roof shrines within the temple’s inner courtyard are arranged in a layout typical of large temple complexes in Bali. The temple pavilion’s wooden beams and ceilings are intricately engraved and gold gilded.
