You step out of the minivan into a humid hush: rice terraces slope away in bands of green, a temple bell rings somewhere down the road and the jungle seems to inhale. This private door-to-door tour from Ubud strings together the region's most photographable moments — a 20-meter swing that flings you over farmland, curtain waterfalls that thunder into emerald pools, and a 1,000-year-old spring where Balinese come to cleanse.
