I was expecting spectacular views which were a bit disappointing. That said, it was nice to get out of central Ubud and walk along the ridge and through the trees. Easy path to find and follow and not too long. A bit steep in sections so potentially not suitable for those with mobility/knee issues. Some lovely cafes/earrings along the way. This walk is best done early in the morning or later in the day avoiding the worst heat.

I loved taking the paved path which passes over a bridge, alongside a temple, to go deeper into the forest before reaching the summits. I wandered through the rice fields, bought a very pretty illustration, had a snack at Bird Hill (magnificent)... I went there early in the morning, I was there alone most of the time. I sweated a lot (take water), but the hike (completely accessible) is well worth it.

We took a self guided audio tour by the voicemap app And we started from the top and ended at the stone gates. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the ridge and of who used to live there It's best to go early mornings as it can be hot and humid. Great audio tour. Worthwhile

The scenery is spectacular. Strolling through the lush verdant rice fields is restorative to the soul. Can be very hot in middle of day. Best early morning and late afternoon. Carry water though plenty of refreshment stops en route

First of all, physical preparation, because the walk is long (9km) with slopes and slopes in stretches of land and sometimes mud, at some points very slippery - no fingerslip or cotton clothes! Indonesia’s economy is pulsing, only buildings are seen everywhere, and the famous urban rice fields are disappearing. It's not like before... For those who have never seen them, it is best to start with these and then go to the simplest ones also inside Ubud, because they are more authentic. The tropical nature, similar to ours, impresses more than the fields already beaten and without production. Most of all, there's a leg...

We started from the Ubud end of the trail. A steep walk up past the temple - apparently at the spot where an early settler used to run yoga sessions back in the day - and then on to the ridge itself. Lovely views across the valleys on either side. As you hit civilisation again it’s nice to see the rice paddies and farmers / artists (often both depending upon the season and state of their rice paddy). A few cafes start to appear and then the trail morphs into a quiet road. We stopped where the road started to get a little busier and walked back. Overall it was probably only about an hour at a reasonable pace to cover both directions, but you can obviously take it slower. I would suggest starting as early as you can as we started at about 0830 and it was getting busier on the walk back.

Located behind Pura Gunung Lebah, it's concealed and hence difficult for many people to find. Once you enter Ibah Warwick's resort, you may park your car or bike at the nearby school. Proceed along the route after descending the stone steps.

We enjoyed our sunrise walk on our last day in Bali. It says on some of the maps, the south side of the ridge is not open. so we drove to the north side. However, both are actually open and we could have started our journey from either end. It did not matter as the views were beautiful and it was lovely to be up early when the ridge was less busy and cooler. Best avoided in midday heat!

Nice cozy walk to escape the busy buzz from ubud center. At the end of the walk there are some really cozy coffeeshops that serve good food, drinks and refreshing juices. Recommended to go before 12:00 or after 18:00 to avoid the scorching sun and heat.

The **Campuhan Ridge Walk** in Ubud is one of Bali's most scenic walking trails, offering breathtaking views of lush green hills and expansive valleys. This 2 km path runs along a ridge, surrounded by rice fields, palm trees, and tropical vegetation. It's an ideal spot for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Ubud while soaking in a sense of tranquility and peace. The best times to visit are early in the morning or late in the afternoon near sunset, when the air is cooler, and the sunlight enhances the charm of the landscape. This trail is popular with both tourists and locals, whether for relaxation, exercise, or simply taking in the natural beauty that Bali has to offer.
