Mist lifts off the ridgeline as the minivan snakes up toward Pusuk; macaques chatter in the canopy and a view opens across terraced hills toward a gray-blue sea. The day begins with the easy thrill of monkey country—long-tailed macaques moving with practiced mischief along roadside fig trees—before you descend into a green gorge where Benang Kelambu threads water over a broad, mossy rim.
