Exploring in & around Ubud

The popularity of Ubud has been on the rise ever since the movie Eat, Pray and Love was displayed in movie theaters across the world. This stunning location provides participants the opportunity to explore the rice terraces or the river valleys that are found in and around the village. While walking through these panoramic scenes you will find yourself up close with the local people who are working in the fields throughout the day.
