Nature and culture in Ubud on beautiful Bali
Bali, a name almost everyone has heard before. This island is among the top holiday destinations worldwide and is on the wish list of many travellers. But what can you do in Bali? Today we take you to Ubud, a place in central Bali. It is considered the cultural centre of the island.
The beautiful nature in Ubud
There is much to do and see on the small island of Bali. From breathtaking waterfalls like Sekumpul in the north to the white sandy beaches of Nyang Nyang in the south. Whatever you look for, this is what you are likely to find: surfable waves in Batu Bolong, nightclubs in Seminyak, luxurious cliffside hotels in Nusa Dua and spiritual retreats everywhere.
But one thing is certain, nature throughout Bali is beautiful. One place you should definitely visit ins Ubud. There you can visit the popular "Sacred Monkey Forest", a real Indiana Jones landscape where groups of roaming macaques live. Or why not enjoy the romantic rice-field landscapes of Tegalalang and its surroundings, the adventurous among us doing so from the jungle swing.
The Tirta Empul temple in Bali
A short distance from Ubud is the Tirta Empul temple, a respected Hindu temple known for its holy water springs. Visitors have the chance to observe the purification rituals performed by devout Balinese and can even participate by immersing themselves in the holy water.
