The next must do thing in Bali, particularly for nature lovers and hikers, is the Campuhan Ridge Walk in Ubud. This free and easy trek stretches for 5km and offers breathtaking views of lush valleys. It’s even better at sunrise or sunset, so don’t forget your camera!

Just a scenic 40 minute drive from the Hotel Komune’s beachfront, you’ll discover the Campuhan Ridge Walk in the lush jungle of Ubud.

Visit a Must-See Historical Temple

One of the best places to visit in Bali is most certainly the Goa Gajah Temple, also known as the Elephant Cave Temple. This historical and sacred site holds various Hindu influences and relics, some dating back between the 8th and 10th century. There are a few rules around visiting the sacred temple, so make sure that you are familiar beforehand.

Just 30 minutes from Hotel Komune, the Goa Gajah Temple is a highly recommended day trip among our team.
