The morning mist lifts off the Ayung River as your guide briefs the group: the current teases, the gorge tightens, and paddles will set the rhythm. You push off beneath layered jungle walls where the river hums and the occasional cascade dares you to move faster. Later, the day pivots east—an ascent to the Gate of Heaven at Pura Lempuyang, where Mount Agung looms and the temple gate frames sky and stone.
