Bali 2019 - Campuhan Ridge
After a few days in Seminyak, I moved on to Ubud - my other favorite hangout in Bali. I’ve been to Ubud a few times but somehow always missed out on the Campuhan Ridge. This trip I made it a point to check it out. The start of the trail is next to Warwick Ibah Villa and Spa. The signs are not very clear so it is best to ask for directions.
It is quite a gentle walk to the top of the ridge. Once you get there – you are rewarded with a panoramic view of the valleys around Ubud. There are several small cafes along the way for short breaks.
The walk is paved in concrete blocks all the way and though
it goes up and down a bit – the slopes are very gentle. The scenes along the
way are beautiful - you get to see the
natural side of Ubud. There are some rice fields along the way, and towards the
end of the trial there are some small villages to explore. You also get to see
many resorts from the valley side – which is usually not accessible.
The trail is around 1.3km one way, so a return trip is
around 2.6km. It is best to go early morning or late afternoon to avoid the hot
sun, as there is not much shade on the ridge.
