    ## Ubud Traffic Woes? Navigate Like a Local


    Traffic in Ubud center can be intense. Here are the secrets to staying mobile.


    
      - **Timing:** Avoid the main road (Jl. Raya Ubud) between 4 PM and 7 PM.

      - **Back Roads:** Use the "Monkey Forest" bypass or the small lanes in Penestanan to avoid the worst congestion.

      - **Private Drivers:** For day trips outside Ubud, hire a driver for IDR 600,000 - 800,000 (10 hours). This is more cost-effective for families than multiple Grabs.
