Banyumala Twin Waterfalls
Banyumala Waterfall or Twin Falls are two beautiful waterfalls side by side. What makes the Banyumala Twin Falls even more attractive, is the fact that you can swim in the lake below the waterfall, and even go and stand in the stream of water from above. The water is fairly cold however, but with the Balinese heat, this is actually very nice.

Campuhan Ridge Walk
Campuhan Ridge Walk is a beautiful and very accessible hiking trail with it's trail head very close to the center of Ubud. The hike is about 3,7 km out and back with an elevation of just 110 meters. The path is paved with large tiles, and you can walk it in either direction, and arrange for a ride to take you home from either end of the trail.
