Ubud – What to Do

Singing Birds above your Eyes

As you join Bali Bird Walks, you'll suddenly understand ­why birds are hidden behind every tree leaf on Balinese paintings. Without being an expert ornithologist, you'll soon learn to spot some 30 out of over 100 bird nestled in the rice fields and ravine forests around Ubud. Victor Mason, a long-standing ornithologist and of Birds of Bali , created these walks, and still occasionally leads them. Ten percent of the proceeds obtained ­from the walks are placed in the Bali Bird Park conservation fund.

Keep Walking Tours also offers great walks led by specially trained eco-cultural guides, covering a wide range of choices - from a one-hour visit of the Monkey Forest to a half-day itinerary through the surrounding unless you prefer an enchanting late afternoon walk to the Petulu heronry, or a full day visit to archeological sites near Ubud.

Sugar and Salt

To escape from Ubud and get a glimpse of the traditional communities, hop in with the staff of the famous Casa Luna Restaurant . Every Sunday, they organize a whole-day tour to the hills and beaches of east Bali , ­where you will learn the timeless secrets of palm sugar making and sea salt extraction.
