Ubud is also the vivacious center of Bali’s arts scene, home to a small treasure trove of museums and galleries. Monkey around at nearby nature reserve Monkey Forest Park, home to hundreds of mischievous long-tailed macaques. Don’t miss the valley of tomb cloisters at Gunung Kawi.

Saraswati temple Kingdom of Ubud is dedicated to honor the Hindu Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of learning, literature and art. This temple is very beautiful and artistic, so many tourists who come to see its charm, but for purposes of worship. Pura Taman Saraswati has a water garden and lotus pond at the center of its attraction as a tourist attraction.This temple is decorated with so many fine carvings and inside there Padmasana shrine located in the northeast, but it also contained bale barong, giant masks, statues of Goddess Saraswati and the statue of the devil Jero Gede Mecaling as high as 3 meters in front of the temple.

We stumbled upon this little gem as we walking back from the rice terraces and spent the next hour filling up the memory on our camera our kids were fascinated and the care taken in the maintenance was outstanding, definitely worth a visit my tip go early as when we were there we had the whole place to ourselves.
5. Yeh Pulu Temple

Yeh Pulu Temple Build on 14th or 15th century and are in a very attractive rice field setting. You can reach Yeh Pulu on foot through the rice fields from Goa Gajah but you will definitely need a guide for the 45 minute walk as there is no path to speak of. Alternatively turn off the Ubud to Gianyar main road about 400 metres east of the entrance to the Goa Gajah complex. Drive through Banjar Batulumbang until the road comes to an end. For here walk down the track to Yeh Pulu passing the small warung on your left. As well as the carvings there is a holy well here and the attendant priest will be happy to bless you with the well water. Temple dress code applies here. Yeh Pulu is a much under-rated and under-visited site - highly recommended.

We were dropped off and visited the elephant caves and from there walked through some villages to Yeh Pulu. The entry ticket is not expensive but we noticed the elderly ticket seller was quick to take our money but a bit slow on issuing the tickets until we reminded him. We were met at the car park by our drivers so weren’t hassled by any one for a tour guide! It is not the temple that you come to see but the beautiful narrative engraved in the rock face that was created between the 11th - 14th century. A lovely setting but a beautifully preserved rock carving. Highly recommended but doesn’t take long to see.
