Sweet Orange Walk Trail — Attraction in Bali

We stumbled across this walk on a previous visit to Ubud, and since then, it’s become a must-do every time we return. On our latest trip, we walked it four more times—each just as enjoyable as the first.

The Sweet Orange Walk Trail is one of those peaceful gems that blends village life with nature. The trail winds through lush rice fields, with ducks waddling and playing in the paddies, and the occasional dragonfly dancing across the water. Along the way, you’ll find a handful of charming cafes and warungs, perfect for a drink, a fruit platter, or a full Balinese meal with a view.

It’s a flat, easy walk that suits all fitness levels. There’s just one short section where you need to walk across a few wooden planks—but it adds to the charm more than it takes away from the accessibility. You’ll also spot personal inscriptions and messages carved into the stone path beneath your feet, which adds a lovely human touch to the route.

Whether you walk it for sunrise, a late lunch, or golden hour with a camera in hand, it’s a wonderful way to unwind in Ubud and soak in a slower...

Arrived in Ubud quite late and decided to do this trail before dinner and.......not impressed, not impressed at all. The start/end point of the walk from Jl Raya Ubud seems dangerous to begin with, and full of unsightly rubbish and smelly. This point has no lighting so I strongly recommend not start/end from here upon sundown as you may slip down the ravine if not careful. Maybe because it was close to sundown or I had seen natural beautiful rice paddy in other countries, or maybe I expected more, I was actually puzzled by those good reviews. What goes thru my mind was that I hope the scenery here is not a glimpse of what Bali is all about. Yes, this was my first time, first day in Bali, and no, I will say this is not a must do trail unless to clock your steps to keep healthy. Oh, to be fair, there are very few interesting looking Warung and coffee joints you could stop by for a drink and meal. Price looks to be on...

The entrance makes you feel like you are not headed in the right direction-if you are thinking this you are on the right path haha! But know once you see the giant monkey be assured you are on almost there. The weather was very pleasant the day we went so we really took our time on the walk even stopping along the way at the Sweet Orange Warung for some iced teas. Looking at all of the cement stones along the path was a fun addition to the walk. You can create your own large stone for a small amount (400k if I remember) to contribute to the upkeep and continued paving of the path for future visitors. I think this is a great idea so build in some extra time if this is something you might be...
