The van eases up into Bali’s central highlands and the air sharpens; the driver points the way as clouds part over terraced slopes. By mid-morning you’re at Nungnung, where water tears down a steep gorge and the mist dares you closer—reaching the pool requires a short but steep descent over stone steps and uneven trail, rewarding effort with thunderous spray and cooler air.
