Ubud – It is a small village which became popular from Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat, Pray, Love”. Ubud means medicine as told by the locals, true to its name the air had a medicine smell as we walk through Ubud. There are lots of statues and sculptures and scenes from Mahabharata and Ramayana. There are to temple on the opposite ends of Ubud, namely Batuan temple and Goa Gajah.
Batuan temple -It is a beautiful temple built using bricks and ornaments. Every person that enters the sacred and serene temple should where a sarong. As I did not have a sarong I had to buy one. There are beauteous, statuesque and exquisitely carved in the mandalas.
Goa Gajah – Also Known as elephant caves has a naturally carved cave as “T”, that has shrines of lord Ganesha, Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh. When I walked through the temple I saw that it was covered by alluring greenery and magnificent Beds of rocks.
Next stop was the Tegallalang rice fields; the area around paddy fields have shops near them which sells crafts of the villagers. I bought a couple of crafts from a small boy when we stopped to drink tea. In the noon the view is spectacular and arriving night gave me the advantage of feeling the cool breeze which helped me to refresh myself.
Walking through the unspoiled nature was so nature friendly. It was like walking through heaven. We trekked down the paddy fields, it was a journey full of laughter seeing the other fall down and I too experienced the love falling by slipping due to the moisture of the soil.
There were several cafes on the way to Semniyak which we stopped to take our food.
The days in Semniyak – It all started with a visit to the beach, shopping sprees, food stalls and Balinese massages and spas. We spent the rest of the days travelling in Semniyak
