History of Ubud
We can say that the history of Ubud is the history of the island of Bali itself. According to legend, the city was settled during the 8th century by the Hindu monk Rsi Markendya, who came here from Java. The monk had the Gungung Temple built here. Other temples in the area were built over the next 400 years. Many rituals and dances from this time have also been preserved. The first travelers started heading to Ubud as early as the 1960s, yet the city has maintained its integrity as the artistic and cultural center of Bali to this day.

You can get to Ubud by traditional Indonesian means of transport, bemo. Bemo are public minibuses (vans) that follow a fixed route. From Denpasar, there is a brown bemo from Batubulan bus terminal. The trip will cost you 8000 INR and takes about an hour. From the southern part of Bali such as Kuta, expect a price of around 200,000 INR.
