The morning begins on the minivan’s slow sweep out of Kuta, the air conditioner humming while rice paddies and roadside shrines slide past like a film strip. By the time the van pulls into the jungle clearing near the Ayung River, the world has changed: humidity tightens like a jacket, birds call through a green ceiling, and the river — impatient and dark — waits below the cliff.
