Best Things to Eat, See, and Do in Ubud

1. Whitewater Rafting in Ayung River 

This one's an experience you have to add to your list of things to do in Bali! The Ayung River in Ubud is the widest and longest river in Bali that stretches all the way from the northern mountainous area in the region. Hop on an inflatable raft and have an adrenaline-pumping time navigating through the rushing streams and waves of the river.

2.Mount Batur

Break a sweat and you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking (literally) views of Bali on this . Mount Batur is an active volcano that promises views of the mountain and crystal clear waters of Lake Batur. The climb takes about two hours, but feel free to take breaks and appreciate the view for as long as you want. 

Before your hike, remember to pack:

A jacket: It gets really cold at the peak and base of the mountain.

Extra water: Even though a bottle of water is provided, you’ll need it!

Head torch: A handheld torchlight is provided, but bring a head torch and ditch having to hold onto your torch to get better balance.

A good pair of sport shoes: Ditch those sneakers and wear a comfortable pair of sport shoes if you don’t want to risk tripping on loose rocks.
