- Bali Traditional House Gung Aji - A Balinese traditional compound is typically divided into three sections, each serving a distinct purpose. Following the directional principles of their traditional compass, sacred structures like shrines are constructed towards the mountain side of the compound (head), living quarters are situated in the middle yard (body), and the kitchen and waste disposal areas are located towards the sea (tail). These compounds are often 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, there are two niches that serve as substitutes for shrines. If the family is financially well-off, they may 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 religious idols, everyday Balinese social life (such as farmers, fishermen, workers, intellectuals, and merchants), and abstract dimensions reflecting the imagination of the artists, who are attuned to reality, dynamics, and life philosophy. Like other tourist villages in Bali, the villagers have transitioned from an agrarian society to a crafting community.
- Tohpati Village - The term Batik comes from the Javanese words ‘amba’ meaning write and ‘titik’ meaning dot. Batik can be described as a traditional form of fabric painting. Various regions in Indonesia, including Bali, have their own unique Batik styles. Balinese Batik is gaining popularity for its beautiful patterns and vibrant 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 is crafted using traditional methods that require significant time, 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 visitors can enjoy a stunning green valley panorama with cascading water as the focal point. Lush 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 picturesque rice paddies, which utilize the subak (traditional Balinese cooperative irrigation system). Tegallalang is one of the three most magnificent terraced landscapes in Ubud’s region, alongside Pejeng and Campuhan villages. The Tegallalang rice terraces offer a breathtaking view that extends downwards and across the valley’s 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, visitors will often encounter grand structures with historical significance prefixed with ‘Puri’, meaning Balinese ‘royal palaces’. A Puri is generally a noble residence in Bali, particularly for Balinese rajas and their families. The Puri Saren Ubud Palace also serves as a cultural hub for arts, dance, and literature. The palace’s stage and meeting halls host international events.
- Puseh Batuan Temple - This 11th-century temple faces a large communal hall.
Batuan Temple, locally known as ‘Pura Puseh lan Pura Desa Adat Batuan’, is a key landmark in the village of Batuan. Beyond the five-tiered ‘candi bentar’ gate, visitors will find various reliefs depicting mythical Balinese figures and floral motifs, as well as statues of the Hindu trinity, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. The temple’s inner courtyard features a series of multi-tiered thatched-roof shrines arranged in a layout typical of large Balinese temple complexes. The temple pavilion’s wooden beams and ceilings are intricately carved and gilded in gold.
