Photographs Around Ubud, Bali – Temples, Nature and Local Life
A photographic journey through Ubud, Bali – lush rice fields, carved temples and vibrant daily life. A visual immersion into Balinese culture and spirituality.
Photos around Ubud, Bali.
Located in the heart of the Island of the Gods, Ubud is considered the cultural and spiritual capital of Bali. But it is above all the diversity of its surroundings that makes it a must-visit destination for lovers of photography, nature, and authenticity. Through this photo series, I explore the many facets of the region: from lush rice terraces to intricately carved temples, from tropical gardens to lively alleyways buzzing with scooters and daily offerings.
Each image is conceived as a sensory pause, capturing both the calm of nature and the vitality of Balinese traditions. From flower-adorned Ganesh statues to winding hillside paths, to urban scenes punctuated by horns and laughter, everything here inspires the eye of the curious traveler. Photographing around Ubud means embracing a unique atmosphere, where every detail tells a story.
This series is also an invitation to slow down and observe. It pays tribute to the balance between spirituality, culture and nature found everywhere around Ubud. To learn more about this emblematic region, visit the official Indonesia Travel – Ubud page or read the Ubud guide on Le Routard.
