In Reply to: Ubud to Amed - best way to go? posted by Cheryl on Tuesday, 28. December 2010 at 10:26 Bali Time:
won't take 4 hrs.
Take the Tampak Siring road and drive to Kintami. Just before you get to the pay booth turn right along the crater rim. There's agreat lookout a few k's on. Turn right and cruise down until you come to an enormous banyan tree. Turn left and head towards Amlapura.
At Bebandem stay on the main road but take the first turn left past the town which cuts out Amlapura and is a shortcut which brings you out on the Amed side of Tirtagangga.
Turn left at the main road and you can't go wrong.
