More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light in central Ubud filters through palm fronds as a private van slips onto narrow lanes — the day opens with the low drum of a Barong dance and a driver who knows every shortcut. You will move from the carved stone courtyards of Batuan Temple to the metalwork alleys of a silversmith village, then north to the stepped fields at Tegalalang where terraces lean into the slope and the breeze seems to push you forward toward the famous swing.
