Yes, the route from Ubud to northern Bali passes through rice fields, mountain passes, and traditional villages that offer a more rural and quieter side of the island. The landscape changes notably as you head north, with cooler air in the higher elevations and panoramic views over the coastline as you descend. It is one of the more scenic drives Bali has to offer.
Visitors can soak in the three warm pools, wade through the natural water cascades, and relax in the beautifully landscaped tropical gardens. The pools offer natural massage effects from the water flowing through the carved dragon spouts. The surrounding gardens and shaded paths also make for a pleasant stroll between soaks.

The water is said to have therapeutic benefits associated with skin relief and muscle relaxation.
The Brahma Vihara Arama Buddhist temple, Bali's largest and most ornate Buddhist monastery, is just a few kilometers from the hot springs and is well worth a visit.
