Definitely worth going to. The temple itself on the hill with baths and pond full of fish below it. Everything looks authentic and old. There's no entrance fee, but the representatives of the temple who meet you at the entrance ask for a donation. You can leave any amount. They provide you with a sarong for free. There are two sections for bathing - one with a Waterfall for men and the other simpler one for women. Discrimination, I know. There are changing rooms. The water is transparent and refreshing.

Yeh Pulu Temple Build on 14th or 15th century and are in a very attractive rice field setting. You can reach Yeh Pulu on foot through the rice fields from Goa Gajah but you will definitely need a guide for the 45 minute walk as there is no path to speak of. Alternatively turn off the Ubud to Gianyar main road about 400 metres east of the entrance to the Goa Gajah complex. Drive through Banjar Batulumbang until the road comes to an end. For here walk down the track to Yeh Pulu passing the small warung on your left. As well as the carvings there is a holy well here and the attendant priest will be happy to bless you with the well water. Temple dress code applies here. Yeh Pulu is a much under-rated and under-visited site - highly recommended.

We were dropped off and visited the elephant caves and from there walked through some villages to Yeh Pulu. The entry ticket is not expensive but we noticed the elderly ticket seller was quick to take our money but a bit slow on issuing the tickets until we reminded him. We were met at the car park by our drivers so weren’t hassled by any one for a tour guide! It is not the temple that you come to see but the beautiful narrative engraved in the rock face that was created between the 11th - 14th century. A lovely setting but a beautifully preserved rock carving. Highly recommended but doesn’t take long to see.

It’s free and just of Jalan Raya in the centre of Ubud. The royal palace has many pavilions and beautiful sculptures and the gardens are bursting with tropical photo opportunities. Because we were there in Feb, during the corona virus scare and theoretically the rainy ( low) season, it was quite empty. I have heard in high season it can get pretty packed, but if you happen to be travelling soon, I definitely recommend spending a little while within the walls of the Royal Palace compound and stepping back in time.
