The morning air off Bali’s central highlands carries rice-scented mist as the private car threads a road that climbs away from the airport toward cooler country. You pass small villages, roadside warungs and terraces carved into volcanic slopes until the land opens into the wide green steps of Jatiluwih; water channels gleam and a slow rhythm of farming life determines the day.
