About these names

Addresses on Bali use the road name and a rough landmark; share a map pin with your driver, and give the nearest known temple or bank.

Ubud runs along Jalan Raya Ubud (east–west) and Jalan Monkey Forest (north–south). The palace, market and Saraswati Temple sit at the crossroads; Campuhan and Penestanan lie 1.5–2 km west; the Monkey Forest is 1.5 km south; Peliatan is 3 km south-east. Distances look short and take twice as long in traffic.
