@nippurmagnum Thanks for the extensive write-up! Question: how was the WiFi and/or cell service at Taman Sari from the rooms?
Glad to hear it!Thank you so much for all this detail. It really helped me plan our dive trip to Bali
Yes, we left Ubud in the morning, and had our driver take us to Pura Ulun Dani Bratan (Lake Temple), Munduk waterfalls, the Twin Lake View, and then on to our hotel in Pemuteran.Thanks for the great report.
I know it's been a while, but do you remember how long time it took to drive from Ubud to Permuteran?
Did you stop along the way to see something?
Likewise: how about the trip from Permuteran to Tulamben? Anything to see along the route?
Looking at a map it's quite far and I know the traffic in Bali can be very, very slow.

From Pemuteran to Tulamben, we stopped at Pulaki Temple (Monkey temple facing the sea), the Brahmavihara Drama Buddhist Monastery, then drove through Singaraja and visited the Pura Beni (which was rather off the beaten path), then Sekumpul Falls, and finally reached our hotel the Tulamben area (which was in Kubu) actually.
And if you're wondering how I have such total recall, it's because I used the app TripIt to keep track of our movements.
As I write this, I'm sitting at the airport lounge in Abu Dhabi waiting for my flight for my return trip to Bali.![]()
