Itinerary description
|
Very interesting circular route that combines different landscapes near Ubud. The only drawback of the route is that in order to make it circular there is no other remedy than to walk a long stretch along the edge of a road that requires great care. We start in the center of Ubud and walk west along the main street until we take a detour up Campuham which passes a lovely little temple. After the temple begins the climb that takes us to a hill with good views on both sides and that will take us cresting to the famous Karsa Cafe where we take the opportunity to have a drink and continue climbing the Campuhan crest until we reach a crossroads and we have to start our route along the edge of the road to the south, crossing a wooded area next to the road and later a section with houses that will take us to a path between rice fields. This trail is very quiet and the rice fields and the water running through the water channels allow us to imagine a more rural past. After a while we turn to the left and enter the bottom of a ravine through which we cross a hidden corner between rock walls sculpted with Hindu details. After crossing a small bridge and continuing to enjoy more reliefs in the rock, we begin a climb that will take us back to the center of Ubud.

Estuve en Ubud y pude hacer la cresta de Campuhan hasta el Karsa Cafe, y aunque pillamos muchos calor nos pareció increible. Me hubiera gustado hacer esa circular para ver la zona de campos de arroz, La próxima vez será.
Gracias por la ruta.
Muchas gracias Paco. La cresta de Campuhan es preciosa y muy cerca del centro de Ubud.
Fotos increibles, parece un paraíso.

Les jonctions le long de la route sont très pénibles et gâchent le plaisir des courtes sections intéressantes, notamment la partie côté rizières.
En même temps, le relief ne permet pas beaucoup de fantaisie si on veut faire une boucle.
Peu de vue et peu d'intérêt sinon de pouvoir marcher depuis le centre d'Ubud.
N'hésitez pas à prendre un taxi sur la partie sur route ou faites deux aller retour.
Muchas gracias Christophe, efectivamente, como yo ya indico muy claro en mi descripción de la ruta, hay un tramo por la carretera que es inevitable si quieres hacer la ruta circular, pero puedes hacerla en dos rutas de ida y vuelta para evitar ese tramo que tampoco es tan peligroso si caminas con cuidado. Es una pena que califiques el escenario con tan baja nota cuando la mayor parte pasa por la cresta de Campuhan y por unos campos de arroz espectaculares, también me sorprende que te pareca insuficiente la información que creo que es muy detallada. En todo caso gracias por tus comentarios.
Superb!
Thank you so much Rini Hettinga

Impresionante, gracias por la descripción. Es cierto que el tramo de carretera es un poco largo pero nosotros no encontramos tampoco una alternativa y tampoco fue un problema.
I recommand to follow the path in the other direction, you will climb way less ! The road part of the itinerary in the middle is a bit long. I made a break at Keliki cofee, the view is amazing.
Thank you Calotta da Silva.
Thank you Merce Galvany
