Thanks joshua on the petrol info.
I'm deciding between staying in Ubud or staying in Kuta.
Does travelling from:
1. Ubud - Mt Batur- Besakih take less time compared to Kuta - Mt Batur - Besakih ?
2 . Ubud-Bedugul take less time compared to Kuta-Bedugul?
From the map Ubud is definitely closer to both places, but the roads look more like small mountain roads.. The roads from Kuta-Batur and Kuta-Bedugul looks like bigger roads... so not sure if the distance on the map corresponds with travelling time...
By the way, are the roads around Ubud like the roads we have around Frasers Hills & Camerons?
definitely smaller. The routes the guides take you.. is amazing. Super small and narrow...
as for the time for you to get to mt batur and etc.. from ubud, yea, i think you'll get to those places from ubud much more faster. but it all depends on where you wanna go really, if you wanna go for some night life.. you'll have to stay kuta. if you want the peaceful nature kinda life, I guess you'll have to go for ubud. but hey, if ubud is a bit too quiet for you and kuta too loud, why not try legian? i think it's a bit more quiet and if you want the night life, its still within walking distance.
