One of the most fun activities in Ubud, Bali to me when I visited was shopping. (If you are not familiar with Indonesia, Ubud is a town on the Indonesian island of Bali in Ubud District. Ubud is one of Bali’s major arts and culture centers. via Wikipedia If you have seen a movie “Eat Pray Love” you might recall the beautiful scene of rice paddies. That was filmed in Ubud, Bali.) There are so many shops with beautiful handicraft items made in Ubud, Bali that you can’t help but enjoy shopping there. According to the article “Tegallalang Handicraft Center in Bali” on Bali website, “it is not an overstatement to say that perhaps the Tegallalang route may also have the longest row of art shops in the world.” I can see some of the handicrafts I saw on Jalan Raya Tegallalang being popular among some international tourists. They are beautiful.
I own four items that came from the shopping strip on Jalan Raya Tegallalang in Ubud, Bali from the trip I made in May 2013. They are all featured on this post. I bought three of the items here and my friend, Kara, who invited me to the Bali trip gave me one item, the wooden plate, for my birthday which I love and use all the time. I love all four of them so much that I wish I bought more from the shops!
The street of Jalan Raya Tegallalang in Ubud, Bali felt like it was the row of wholesale stores where buyers from Jakarta and other cities would go shop for their stores. It might be because the prices you find on Jalan Raya Tegallalang are probably the cheapest in Bali. Shopping in Ubud is quite reasonable except for some shops that are known as high-end brands. Shopping on Jalan Raya is for sure a bargain shopping.
In the next post, I will introduce some of the stores that Kara and I visited on Jalan Raya Tegallalang, Ubud, Bali. If you visit Ubud, Bali in the future, I hope that my next post will be helpful.
This wooden cheese plate was a gift from my friend, Kara. I use this wooden plate as a cheese plate. I love the natural wood!
I hope you’ll come back to check out the article on Jalan Raya Tegallalang!
