Ubud 3 Days Itinerary: Rice Terraces, Monkey Forest, Waterfalls and Temples

Quick answer: Three days in Ubud covers the Tegallalang rice terraces, the Sacred Monkey Forest, a waterfall and some slow time in cafés and spas. Group sights by direction to avoid backtracking, and use a private driver for longer legs.

What are the entry fees in Ubud?

Sources disagree on the exact fees, which change over time and by operator:

We could not find a fee for Campuhan Ridge or Sekumpul waterfall, so check locally.

Day 1: Monkey Forest and town

Start at the Monkey Forest (keep belongings secure; the monkeys snatch), then walk Ubud town, the market and a café lunch.

Day 2: Tegallalang and Tegenungan

Go early to the Tegallalang rice terraces before crowds and heat, then on to Tegenungan waterfall. Wear shoes with grip.

Day 3: Slow day or Mount Batur sunrise

Either a spa and café day, or the pre-dawn Batur hike. See the Mount Batur sunrise trek.

Is Ubud good for vegetarians?

Yes. Ubud is described as the strongest base for plant-based eating in Bali, with Michelin-starred Locavore offering a separate vegetarian menu. Ask about fish sauce and shrimp paste in dishes labelled vegetarian.

How does Ubud fit a Bali trip?

See the Bali 7-day itinerary. For a base, read where to stay in Bali, and for getting around, Grab, taxis and private drivers in Bali. App cars are restricted in parts of Ubud, so walk a few hundred metres from your pickup point if asked.
