Ubud is one of the uplands town in Bali, surrounded by
rainforest and packed with breath-taking rice paddies. The location is not too far from Denpasar. By land transport, it will only take you approximately one and a half hours until two hours, depends on the traffic.
Travellers, including me, are getting
bored on visiting Denpasar, that is why other places in Bali, including Ubud,
is gaining their popularity. If I’m going to visit Ubud, then here are the lists
of what I want to do there, and I’m totally sure it’s going to be fun!
Itinerary - Day I
I live in Jakarta, so to reach Denpasar, Bali I could take
the first flight and arrived at Bali approximately 8 a.m in the morning. Well, of course I need to wake up really early like on 4a.m in the morning to go to the airport and catch the flight. But heyyy, UBUD AWAITS ME!!
From Ngurah Rai Airport, I'll then going to Ubud using land transport about 2 hours. The first thing to do, is to
take photos and make others jealous of me!! ;)
10.00AM – 10.30AM : Take a really deep breath of fresh air
on Tegalalang Rice Terrace
Here, I could see the magnificent view of the rice terrace.
It’s one of the most famous tourist object here in Ubud, the rice terrace is
really spacious, I could see green colour and it could make my day! The best
thing, I could take a selfie and make others envy you!
11.00AM – 01.00PM : Having Brunch at Warung Bintang Bali
If I am in Bali, then I need to taste their local food.
Warung Bintang Bali here offers authentic Balinese food that I could try, with
panoramic view around their restaurant. Great food to start the whole adventure
today!
02.00PM – 05.00PM : Enjoy the beauty of Ayung River and
swing!!
Best thing to do in Bali, particularly Ubud, is nature
activity, such as rafting. If the weather is great, I need to try rafting with
a very good water stream on Ayung River. Besides that, I could try the swing
ride from Zen Hideaway, wohoo!
06.00PM – 08.00PM : Dinner at The Sayan House
What could be any better than dinner at the garden with
dimly lit and forest view? Yes, I shouldn’t miss having dinner at the sayan
house. I could close the day with a glass of wine too!
08.30PM : Check in at ZEN Rooms Ubud Jembawan
Picking hotel is a tricky thing to do! I am in Bali, and
this time I really need to enjoy it – even my hotel should be relaxing and have
at least a touch of nature. Yep, it doesn’t need to be expensive as long as it
makes me comfortable enough and rest after all of the activities I’ve been
doing today. My choice goes to ZEN Rooms Ubud Jembawans, since it doesn’t look
like a hotel at all – makes me feel home! with great views and of course,
affordable price!
Itinerary - Day II
06.00AM – 09.00AM : Breakfast, enjoy the hotel facilities,
packing and check out
I already pick a great hotel, complete with swimming pool.
Well, no doubt that I need to enjoy those facilities, right? That is why I
prefer to wake up early in the morning.
10.00AM – 12.00AM : Visiting Ubud Water Palace, Saraswati Temple
And using their traditional clothes! Bali is also famous for
their temples, and whatever religion you are, you need to try and visit the temple.
In here, I could see the lotus pond and also experience the warm-heart &
friendly Balinese people.
12.30PM – 02.00PM : Last lunch at Ubud, La View Kupu-KupuBarong
Before going back to Denpasar, I couldn’t miss out one more
famous restaurant in Ubud, La View. Here, you could sit on the edge and enjoy
the forest view while eating selections of French or Asian food. Oh, don’t
forget to eat the dessert here, so your holiday will end up really sweet!
04.00PM : On the Airport, ready to back home to Jakarta!
The short trip in Ubud, Bali is indeed will be memorable if
I could make this happen. Now, it’s time to head back to Jakarta, back to work!
– and yes, tell the stories if let say this itinerary happens! ;)
