What to expect
Your guide meets you at your hotel and drives you into Ubud's centre. The day flows between markets thick with activity, quieter temple courtyards, and residential compounds where you'll see how families live alongside their shrines and workshops. Expect to walk moderate distances between sites—some paths are uneven. The pace suits curious observers rather than rushed sightseers. You'll have time to ask questions and linger where things interest you. Batuan Temple's carved stone work demands close looking. Art villages range from working spaces to formal galleries.
