Bali Soul Journey: Meeting Yourself in Ubud’s Morning Bells and Evening Drums

Start today’s healing with the sound of insects at an Ubud homestay~ 📍Ubud Homestay Address: Jl. Raya Pengosekan, Ubud * Absolutely love this standalone bamboo house surrounded by tropical plants, with frangipani petals falling on the windowsill every morning🌸 🌅 Awakened gently by the bell sounds through carved wooden windows at dawn Not a cold alarm clock, but an ensemble of offerings wrapped in banana leaves and wind chimes🎐 This is the unique Bali morning call! 🐒 Adventure in the Sacred Monkey Forest 📍Sacred Monkey Forest Address: Jl. Monkey Forest, Ubud * Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM * Ticket: 80k IDR When I saw a little monkey leap lightly from the shoulder of a Maya statue, I suddenly understood the true meaning of "all things have spirits"✨ (⚠️ Remember to hide your glasses and snacks) 🌊 Noon shifts to surfing experience in Seminyak The moment the wave lifts the surfboard high, I suddenly realized: sometimes going with nature takes more courage than fighting it🏄‍♀️ 🌇 Divine moment at Uluwatu Temple at dusk 📍Uluwatu Temple Address: Pecatu, South Kuta * Opening Hours: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM * Ticket: 50k IDR Sitting on the cliff with strangers from all over the world, as the sunset dyes the Indian Ocean flowing gold, everyone is quiet as if attending a sacred ceremony. The encounter between the ancient temple and the fleeting sunset taught me: ultimate beauty never exists to be remembered. 🛍️ Unexpected treat at Ubud Market on the way back The guy selling hand drums taught me Indonesian: "terima kasih" (thank you) Turns out it means "to receive and to give." Isn’t this the true essence of travel? 🌙 Tonight, falling asleep to the sound of waves, with the sweet fragrance of frangipani in the air, the gods of Bali are probably hiding in the moonlight, quietly smiling~

🐒🌳 Ubud’s Enchanted Path: Monkey Forest Magic Awaits! Step into the lush, mystical world of Ubud’s Monkey Forest—where ancient temples melt into tangles of jungle and curious macaques reign supreme. This Bali must-see combines nature, wildlife, and centuries-old Chinese architecture for a one-of-a-kind adventure! Recommended Itinerary: Arrive early (preferably on a weekday—Tuesday through Thursday is ideal per my firsthand tip!) to dodge the crowds and fully soak up the peaceful vibes. Start at the main entrance and follow the shady trails through towering banyan trees, catching glimpses of mossy statues and intricately carved temple gates. Must-Do Experiences: - Watch playful monkeys swing overhead or gather near the central clearing; respectful distance is key! - Wander deeper into the forest to discover hidden shrines and tranquil pools. - Pause by the iconic “dragon bridge,” enveloped in roots and mystery—a top spot for serene reflection. Top Photo Spots: - Snap a close-up of monkeys basking in dappled light for truly natural portraits. - Don’t miss shots of ancient trees surrounding the temples—nature’s architectural marvels. - The dragon bridge and moss-covered sculptures make for magical, Insta-worthy backgrounds. Practical Tips & Precautions: - Keep valuables secured—monkeys are clever and love shiny objects! - Wear comfortable walking shoes; trails can be slippery after rain. - No food allowed—stow snacks to avoid unwanted monkey attention. - Carry a light raincoat; weather can shift quickly in the forest. #Bali #Ubud #NatureEscape #MonkeyForest #TravelTips
