Cultural Ubud - Holiday Packages to Bali
Whether your main reason for coming to Bali is to explore its rich cultural heritage, or even if you just want a change in pace from the frenetic activity of the bigger nightlife centres, Ubud has everything to delight and amaze the budding culture-vulture and constitutes a mainstay of many cultural Bali holiday deals. Situated on the gentle slopes that lead towards the mountains of the interior, Ubud and its surrounding villages showcase the ‘other side’ of the Bali experience, contrasting Kuta’s flashy thrills with a richly rewarding cultural experience that highlights the wonders of Balinese culture, cuisine and heritage.
Considered to be Bali’s cultural heart, Ubud still lives according to its rich traditions, and the culturally-inclined traveller will find a rich tapestry of Balinese cultural heritage amongst its many temples, palaces and traditional villages. Exploring these can be an exciting and richly rewarding experience for travellers, especially during festival times and cultural celebrations, when Balinese culture really comes alive- and in many cases newcomers are warmly welcomed into the festivities- an experience not soon to be forgotten!
In addition to the traditional cultural life of Ubud, the region has developed a outstanding reputation for traditional arts and crafts, and art collectors from all around the world are drawn to the rich artistic life of Ubud. For the gourmand, Ubud also has a well-deserved reputation as being the culinary hotspot of the island, and many of its first-class resorts and restaurants are justifiably famous throughout the world.
Even those simply in search of rest and relaxation will be amply rewarded by the gentle pace of Ubud, and its beautiful natural settings provide astounding opportunities for many other outdoor activities such as trekking and kayaking amongst the lush forest backdrop. In Ubud’s rich interiors, the traveller can find a new side of Bali that is just as wonderful as its famous seaside counterpart.
