Tips
- Keep an ID with you: the reseller asks you to show one on arrival. Dress decently (covered shoulders and knees are the norm in religious sites and pavilions; ask if in doubt). The online and desk prices are close and vary with the source: compare before buying. To round out the day, see Ubud art market, the Campuhan Ridge Walk and Ubud in one day.
