It is also known as “Pasar Seni Ubud” which located opposite of the Puri Sare Royal Palace. The Ubud Art market is one of my favourite shopping sites for local art and craft such as beautiful scarf, shirt and dress, handmade woven bags, painting and other hand crafted goods. It’s also a great place for hunting the local handicraft and souvenirs. Do remember to bargain the price before purchase!

8pm ~10 pm – ❤ Balinese Massage and Spa

Get yourself a Balinese massage and spa after a day on your feet. Similar to Thai massage, Balinese massage is influenced by the Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines. It uses the technique of acupressure, reflexology and aromatherapy in order to release the body’s pain and tenderness. You can find a lot of places offering massage and spa along Ubud.

BALI  DAY 3 

We decided to get something different and excited before heading to the north part of Bali. We bought a “Cycling and Kayaking Tour” package from a local tour agency in Ubud Market which was recommended by Trip Advisor. (Ps: Sorry guys, I can’t recall the agency name.)

8.30 am ~10.30 am – ❤ Bali Luwak Coffee Farm (Cat Poop Coffee)

Experience roasting the most expensive coffee in the word ~ Cat Poop Coffee at Ubud’s farm, which can be sold up to $100 per cup in New York and London! The civet cat that is a nocturnal tree cat in Indonesia eats the coffee berry and then excreted the undigested coffee bean into the poop. You can also taste and sample the various types of local coffee which is freshly prepared and brewed for you.

11 am ~ 2 pm – ❤ Mount Agung Volcano View from Ubud

Enjoy the great volcano view of Mount Agung with a simple local breakfast. Mount Agung is one of the highest mountains in Bali and it dominates the surrounding area and influence the climate. It’s quite chilling up here and it’s one of the legend holds that the mountain is a fragment of Meru brought to Bali by the first Hindus. It is still an active volcano that occasionally belches the smoke and ash.

Have a cup of tea while enjoying the awesome Mount Agung view.

You can stop at any place to witness the beauty of the verdant terraced rice field scenery and enjoy your lunch at the nearest restaurant.

2pm ~ 6 pm- ❤ Kayaking at Ayung River

Experience the adventure tour at Ayung River, challenge yourself and have an excited thrill of kayaking down the river surrounded by the tropical rainforest in Ubud. We have a new and sweet memory here, especially jumping down from a “not so height” cliff and enjoying the beer in the middle of a tropical rain forest!
