More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned minivan into mist and the green hush of central Bali: palms and bamboo lean over narrow lanes, while the distant rim of Mount Batur cuts the sky. The day unfolds in chapters—market stalls and coffee smoke, the sudden flight of the Bali Swing over carved terraces, a lunch with a volcano in the background, then shady bamboo groves and a sanctuary where macaques inspect your camera.
