The spirituality-jacketed town of Ubud is known to have been visited by movie stars, rock legends and international royalty. That alone might be reason enough for a visit, plus the fact that the township of painters holds a cultural uniqueness and inspiring prettiness which irresistibly entrances travellers. The mystical town in the centre foothills of Bali is synonymous to artistry and beauty, and is supported by a rich historical backbone. Ubud's gravely sought after scenery of lime green rice fields, cascading ravines and valleys, century-old temples, momentous sites and multi-star resorts have a magnetic disposition that draws in visitors from all over the globe.
Ubud was originally known as a major source of medicinal herbs and plants, and, in turn, owes its name to the Balinese word 'ubad' which means 'medicine'. Nowadays, the town's fame derives from the consistent trips made by flocks of art, culture and nature-loving globe trekkers.
Ubud tourism is a ballet of pirouetting cultural fundamentals, yoga and stunningly beautiful landscapes. Southern Bali's counterpart if you will, Ubud is home to untamed forests, rivers, cooler temperatures and an inherent quietude slow-dancing through the air. Must-see objects and sites are, for example, 'The Moon of Pejeng' - the largest single-cast bronze kettle drum in the world, dating back to 300BC - the 11th century-old 'Goa Gajah' (Elephant Cave), and the sacred Ubud Monkey Forest Nature Reserve... A treat for all who is a fan of life and its treasures.
