Visit to Ubud

Welcome all visitors to this brand new blog. Today we will visit Ubud, another famous city in Indonesia. Ubud city is a traditional center of Bali. 


This place has beautiful waterfalls, green forests that are full of monkeys and most of all its weather. Ubud is famous because of the weather. 


Well, wherever we have traveled in Indonesia. The places were very beautiful but we heard that bike riding in Ubud is very fun. 



It has green forests, green fields and beautiful architecture. The weather in Ubud is also different from the rest of the cities in Indonesia. 


Today I have two friends with me on this interesting trip and this interesting trip we will try to complete as many places as possible in the city of Bali. 


We reached early in the morning and here we got a very cheap hotel room. After eating food all our friends decide to go famous waterfall here. The name Waterfall is Tegenungan Waterfall.


Tegenungan Waterfall:


It is now eight o'clock in the morning and we are going to Ubud's Tegenungan waterfall. The most famous waterfall here is usually included in the tour by many tour planners. 


It is located thirty minutes away from Ubud. We heard that the bike journey to Tegenungan waterfall is amazing because you can see the waterfall journey is more spectacular and surprising. 


After reaching here we bought the ticket which was twenty thousand IDR per person. We are three friends and it cost us six thousand IDR. This amazing place has three levels. 


We had to go down the stairs here before reaching the waterfall. We saw a temple on the way which was surrounded by a lot of statues. 


When we arrived at Tegenungan waterfall there were many people besides us who had come to see this amazing place. 


People were seen bathing in the pool of this waterfall and some people were taking pictures. It came as a surprise if you are keen on photography like us then you will definitely love this place. 


We had a great time at this place watching the beautiful waterfall. We enjoyed the water pool which is very clear. After exploring on our way back we came across a farm called Luwak Coffee Farm. 


Luwak is the name of an animal and coffee is made from the dumplings of this animal. Actually the animal is fed coffee beans.


They prepare this coffee by cleaning the dumplings which is very expensive but it is also delicious. Testing is free but when they selling coffee you will be surprised by the coffee price.

 


We also try Luwak Coffee which cost us fifty five thousand IDR per person. this coffee is made through different stages. 


The Tegenungan waterfall was very fantastic on these waterfalls we had a lot of fun. After enjoying it, we left for our next destination.


Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary:


Now we are going to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, which is the most famous place in Ubud City. This place is the sanctuary of many monkeys. 


We have heard about this forest that there are more than twelve hundred monkeys here and this sanctuary is more than 30 acres, besides there are more than 190 plants here and about 12 to 15 thousand people come to explore this monkey forest every day. 


That's why we all decided to come to this Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. When we reached the place, we found the ticket here which is 80 thousand per person. 


The building of the ticket center here was looking very beautiful and from there this amazing forest starts. We got to see the path from where we can go to different areas. 


We can go to different areas. It is definitely a very beautiful place but before coming here one thing should be kept in mind that any kind of food or Don't bring water. 


Otherwise you will be attacked inside here by monkeys. We also got to see many temples in this place. 


Well, I suggest you go to the back side first because the whole Monkey Sanctuary will be worth seeing. 


There are open monkeys on all sides. It is definitely a very different experience that they have adopted their own tradition. 


This place is the most visited place in Ubud. here you cannot carry your food or bottle because monkeys attack you. 


A friend of mine had also brought a packet of chips and the monkey took it from him and we were all laughing because when he went to get his chips from the monkey, another monkey fell behind him. 


All the black people were there because of the monkeys. It is a tourist attraction. After spending a lot of time in the monkey forest. 


We dont have time to go further. So we headed to our hotel. On the way we enjoyed the cool air.


Goa Gajah:


Today we are going to another beautiful place in Bali called Goa Gajah. First, we bought a ticket from the ticket counter which was fifty thousand rupees per person. 


Before entering this cave a small scam with us. As we entered we were told that we would have to buy sarong from inside for covering our knees which is not available but available for free as soon as we got in. 


We just showed our tickets and they gave us a sarong. We were happy because we saved ourselves from a small scam. 


When we entered we saw a big board that was drones are not allowed. Last time when I came with my wife, they were allowed to bring drones. 


At that time, they were feeding, but not now. Goa Gajah also known as Elephanta Cave where both Hinduism and Buddhism are worshipped. 


The shape of cave is like a devil and it is said that this devil protects it. There was a very good fragrance inside. 


After some time we went out and hear there is a Buddha temple so we proceeded to see it. The way here was beautiful and green. 


On the way we also got to see a beautiful waterfall. After seeing the Buddha temple we left for our hotel as today was our last day in the city.
