How To Get To Campuhan Ridge Walk Ubud
Campuhan Ridge Walk is located right in the heart of Ubud town.
There are actually two entrances, although the easiest place to start is pin pointed on Google maps.
The location itself is sort of tricky to find but if you spot the ‘IBAH luxury villas and spa’ sign, you turn straight into there and you will find the carpark.
We always choose to rent scooters, which start at around 50,000 IDR per day, and explore ourselves.
However be sure to read up on our renting a scooter in Bali guide beforehand!
If you’re looking for somewhere to rent scooters from you can book a Bali Scooter or Motorbike Rental with Delivery.
Another option is to hire a Bali Private Car or Minibus Charter With Driver, which is pretty popular for day trips around Bali, and they start at around 500,000 IDR per day (8 hours).
