Scenes in Ubud - Teba house, Ubud market etc

the Ubud market, Monkey forest entrance and the Palace

This area is located in the cool mountains, is the home of the Balinese Royal family and a flourishing arts centre. Ubud's role as the epicenter of Balinese culture makes it the perfect place to see traditional Balinese dance and drama. From the early 1920's the royal family ensured that most talented teachers of dance, music and drama were brought to Ubud to entertain the King and pass on their knowledge.

There are hundreds of shops selling antiques, woodcarvings, crafts, textiles, paintings and jewelry as well as some of the best art museums in the country, dozens of art studios, an excellent local craft market, and galleries selling local and international art.
