Intro / teaserUbud is the green heart of Bali, all rice terraces and river gorges and temples half-swallowed by jungle. I keep to the eco stays here, the ones built from bamboo and set into the valley, and let the days move at the pace of the place. I stay at Bambu Indah, the bamboo eco lodge above the Ayung River, with Bali Eco Stay as the other lovely option. Then it is temples, the famous rice terraces, the Monkey Forest, a beach for sundown, and a motorbike to reach whatever is left. Here are five slow days in Ubud.
