With the famed Balinese culture around every corner and the ease of living, Ubud is the premier destination to have the true Balinese experience. Besides being the cultural center of Bali, Ubud offers a distinct look into the lives of everyday Balinese, while providing the comforts a traveler needs.
It is a place where you can wake up to a delicious cup of coffee and watch as parents drop their kids off to school for the day, or a family lays out their offerings. It is a place where an afternoon walk may be interrupted by a procession marking a special day in the Hindu calendar, providing an excellent photographic opportunity. Place where a dance performance can be seen in its original form, unchanged by time or tourism, where daily activities are done authentically for their life?s, not as a show for those who visit.
...is a full sensory experience; the colors of the shops and nature, the smells of incense freshly laid out for the gods, the changing contours of the path, and the sounds of life passing by through motorbikes, cars, and conversation.
If you travel to get to know people and a culture, there is no better place than Ubud. The tranquil easiness of everyday life is infectious, you will grow to not care about the time but rather how to appreciate the moment. You will see the complete devotion of the people to their religion, and learn that belief can be a beautiful thing. But most of all, you will feel the pulse of the city, the way it moves, and the way the locals act in it. There is curiosity, ?Where are you going? Where are you from??, there is care, and there is compassion.
