Ubud 3 Days Itinerary: Rice Terraces, Monkey Forest, Waterfalls and Temples
A 3-day Ubud plan with current entry fees: rice terraces, Monkey Forest, a waterfall and the slower things Ubud is best for.
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:
| Place | Listed fee | In rupees (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Sacred Monkey Forest | IDR 80,000 to 120,000 (weekday vs weekend) | ₹430 to ₹650 |
| Tegallalang rice terraces | IDR 10,000 to 50,000 | ₹55 to ₹270 |
| Tegallalang swing (optional) | about IDR 200,000 extra | ₹1,080 |
| Tegenungan waterfall | IDR 20,000 to 30,000 | ₹110 to ₹160 |
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.
