The Campuhan Ridge Walk is a paved path running along a narrow grassy ridge between the Wos and Cerik river valleys on Ubud's western edge. At just 2 km each way, it is a gentle stroll rather than a hike, but the views are spectacular - tall grass swaying on either side, coconut palms framing the valleys below, and on clear mornings, Mount Agung visible in the distance. It is free, open 24 hours, and arguably the single best free thing to do in Ubud Bali.
The trailhead starts beside the Gunung Lebah Temple at the bottom of Jalan Raya Campuhan (look for the signs just past the Ibah hotel). The path climbs gently to the ridge, passes through a painters' studio area, and ends at a road near the village of Keliki. Most walkers turn around at the ridge's high point and retrace their steps. The entire out-and-back takes 30-45 minutes at a leisurely pace. There are no facilities along the path itself, so bring water.
Pro Tip: Come at sunrise (around 06:00-06:30) for the best light and the coolest temperatures. By 09:00 the sun is high and the ridge is exposed with no shade. After your walk, stop at Karsa Kafe at the northern end for a coffee overlooking rice paddies.
