There are regular public bemos from Denpasar's Batubulan
terminal to Ubud which cost Rp 8,000, and take about an hour. Most bemos run in
the early morning, and you will not find any after 16:00. In the opposite
direction, bemos depart every morning from the central market (northern
entrance) in Ubud. Foreigners are likely to be asked much more (bargain!) or
even to charter the whole vehicle - there's really no need, as they will pick
up passengers on the way.

a vehicle, they will offer to pick you up at the airport for ~Rp 250,000. Check
