The Campuhan Ridge Walk is a hiking trail in the town of Ubud, located in the south of the Indonesian island of Bali. The trail is only about a kilometer from the popular Ubud Market. From Ubud Market you have to follow the straight main road to the left, orienting at a school. After walking for about ten minutes, you will reach the first trail signs on the right and as soon as you start walking downhill you will see the entrance to the Campuhan Ridge Walk. On this way you will pass a Hindu temple worth seeing.
If you continue on the path for a time of about ten minutes, you will reach the hill Bukit Campuhan Ubud, which is surrounded by small idyllic valleys. Once you climb the hill, several steps lead to a village that leads to the upper part of the Campuhan Ridge Walk.

Info and tips
