Petulu Villages White Heron Park – Ubud


Petulu village is located in north east of Ubud Village. Petulu village is still a part of Ubud district. Petulu in late afternoon each day you can enjoy the spectacular sight of thousand herons arriving home in Petulu. They nest in the trees along the road through the village, and make a spectacular sight as they fly in and commence squabbling over the prime perching places.

The most straight forward way there is to go the east of Jalan Raya Ubud and turn left about two km north, a road branches left to Petulu, alternatively, go north on Jalan Suweta – Ubud, continue through the village of junjungan, which is heavily in to the carving garudas, half a dozen shop by the road side offer them in all sizes from a few cm high to giant two meters Garuda which probably weigh a tone. A little further, on the right, there’s a well marked turn off to petulu Villages.

Walk quickly under the trees if the herons are already roosting, the copious droppings in the road will indicated if it’s wise not to hang around. Donations are requested at the other end of the villages. About a km past the villages you reach the Tegallalang to ubud road, from where it’s a couple of km back to the center of ubud
