Early morning light filters through towering nutmeg trees as participants step out of an air‑conditioned minivan and into Sangeh’s shaded lanes. The guide offers sweet Balinese tea; the village exhales damp earth and the distant chatter of macaques. The walk threads rice terraces, a narrow riverbed that dares you to follow it, and short stretches of jungle where sunlight punches through the canopy.
