About
Amid lush ravines and picturesque rice fields, the Campuhan Ridge Walk is one of the most popular treks in Ubud. You’ll start off the hike at the meeting point of the Wos Rivers by the historic core of this charming Bali town. Stop along the way to take in the views and recharge with some coffee overlooking the peaceful lily ponds. About three miles there and back, the trail is best enjoyed around sunrise and sunset, when temperatures are milder.
After the hike, don’t miss Ubud’s vibrant city center, where you can shop for handicrafts and visit ancient landmarks.

- What We Found TravellingSydney, Australia3,271 contributionsGreat WalkI’ve done this walk many times now & always find it a great walk. Wonderful scenery with lots of sights along the way. The walk is evolving every time I come with many little warungs, stalls & swings popping up along the walk. I look forward to enjoying a nice cold Bintang at the Karsa Cafe & I always book in a massage at the Karsa Spa which just completes the experience of the walk. Finally, I always catch the Karsa Cafe golf cart back to central Ubud which is an experience in itself, cost 100K IDR per trip. This walk should be done at least once when in Ubud & preferably before 10AM to avoid the midday heat. The walk takes about 50 minutes from the Ubud Palace & is about 3 km to the Karsa Cafe, the trip back in the golf cart takes 15 minutes.Visited December 2019Travelled with friendsWritten 2 January 2020
- PadschiShanghai, China111 contributionsAwesome viewsA great experience. This roughly 10km long walk offers stunning views and is a must visit when in Ubud. After about 6km you hit a small village where you can refresh and buy water. I recommend to go around 5pm, cause you will then reach by 5:30pm a plateau for sunsets which are stunning. You can also go earlier, have a massage and then enjoy the sunsets. Enjoy!Visited February 2020Written 13 February 2020
- Meghana CNew York City, New York9 contributionsStunning!Can't say enough about the ridge walk. One of my favorite things to do when in Ubud. Expansive sweeping views of different shades & textures of plants. Such a beautiful way to escape the hustle & bustle of Ubud. I feel a wave of peace washing over me when I'm here. Highly recommend getting here early in the morning as the sun can be a bit draining during the middle of the day. Cafes & refreshment available along the way. Highly recommend experiencing this at least once if you're in Ubud!Visited February 2020Travelled as a coupleWritten 13 February 2020

Really beautiful scenery along this walk. Definitely wear sensible shoes and be prepared that in some areas the path is very uneven, maybe not suitable with kids or anyone with mobility issues. Bring some water and a sun hat!

Great walk! Definitely go in early morning before it’s too hot as there r lots of areas with no shade. Also, lots of steps! After a while of walking, you will find a sweet village where you can purchase a beverage and shop. I purchased a piece of art from a wonderful Balinese man. He will roll up the art so it’s easy to carry back down the trail. This walk is a MUST when visiting Ubud!

This walk is suitable for most , it does get to be a sticky hot jungle walk. Don't forget your water.
A little overgrown and views minimal.

From the spiel you see online, including the pics, you’d expect this walk to be epic - epic views, epic ridge line walk, amazing all around. It’s okay… easy to get to, not a managed environment so our walk in August meant the jungle came close to the path so views were limited on the way up, on the ridge new development means you’re basically looking at the back side of new buildings and then barely half a mile in you come to a set of steps that takes you through the first ‘village’ a nice enough experience with good artists, nice warungs/ cafes and a few choices of large scale hotels for pools and lunches if that’s your thing! Whole walk is under 1.25 miles to the crossroads (seems like a natural end to the outward walk) so 3 in total. Easy for youngsters age 10 and up. Is it amazing? Nope. Is it a nice walk? Yes.

While in Ubud, one must spare time for early morning Campuhan Ridge Walk. It's fantastic. Time required is about one hour and walk is not at all difficult.

A mediocre walk with the occasional beautiful view. In August, the foliage was overgrown so there’s not too much to see. Like many tourist spots in Bali, there are big steps or steep inclines which may only be suitable for able-bodied or relatively mobile/fit individuals.

I read a number of reviews as I have bad knees and wanted to make sure I could do this walk. It isn’t a difficult walk but neither is it easy. If you go from the Karsa Kafe end then it’s easy as you won’t have all the uphill gradients, I would have struggled a bit coming the other way. It is all paved so easy to walk on. The rice paddies are only at the start before you get to the entrance of the walk. The views over to the hills are lovely and there is quite a bit of shade. I didn’t find it hot at all and we went at 0800. My watch said we did 2.7 Km’s from drop off point to the Ibah Hotel where you end. It was lovely at the end of the walk with the river and the temple. It took us under an hour and we stopped to take photos along the way.

the treckking takes around 30 minutes non stop,if stop for pics taking,might be longer than that,not challenging,almost flat,sometimes a bit steep,but jusk ok.normally people stop around karsa cafe,and then turn back.if you want to go there,there is a stairs, but not steep.though the path quite flat,pram is not a good suggestion,but i think possible,certain part quite narrow,cuz many people,if you dont mind ,i think possible to bring your baby there,the starting point close to a temple,there is a set of stairs too.

Hi, can we do this walk partly with an electric scooter? just because 2 hours to go and come is a long time
Dee

There are stairs at the end of the walk where it turns into a street, so if you scooter is light and you can carry it over the stairs, then yes - it's possible.
The walk is not 2 hours. It's about 30 minutes depending how fast you do it.

Yes, free if walking, I was there in August and noticed cars having to pay a fee to drive closer to the village end of the ridge walk which maybe what people are referring to, I noticed that scooters and people on foot weren’t being charged. This is at the keliki village end, from Ubud you just start the walk from the temple.

Is it a steep walk? Long story short some dogs chewed my shoes beyond repair so I only have flip flop now. Is it safe to walk with only flip flop?

Hello. If I only have maybe 45 minutes to go on this walk, would it still be worthwhile? Would I just walk for about 20 minutes or so and then turn around and walk back, returning to same place near the resort and bridge?

Or you can walk the trail and have yiur driver pick you up at the end of the trail by Karsa spa. It took us about 45
minutes to walk there.
