6. Spiritual wonders
Other than its scenery, if Ubud is known for one thing it’d be temples. Each with its own fascinating story, the Gunung Kawi, Pura Taman Saraswati and Gungung Kawi Sebatu temples feature amazing stone carvings and picture-perfect scenery, and are tranquil spots for a daytrip. For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, visit Tirta Empul. A stunning temple complex from the 10th century, the landmark is where couples can cool off and seek spiritual purification in its freshwater pools.
