Ubud has always been considered the cultural hub of Bali. Many of the island’s greatest temples are located in Ubud. They vary in age, with many of them being comparatively recent, while others are over a thousand years old. Visiting these temples provides insight into the art and culture of Bali.
Many of the temples in Ubud are adorned with stone carvings, lotus ponds, jungle backdrops, and traditional temple gates to make them more significant and picturesque. Some of the temples are situated within the town itself, and others are hidden in small villages along the paddy fields and river valleys.
Whether you are looking forward to famous sites such as the Saraswati Temple or offbeat sites such as the Goa Garba, all such places are available in Ubud. Day trips to these temples would give visitors an altogether different Bali experience beyond the cafes, restaurants, and the coastline.
