More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned car into warm Balinese air, banana leaves rustling as the guide points down a narrow lane toward a canopy of trees. The Sacred Monkey Forest’s branches hang low, and the monkeys move with the casual confidence of long-time residents; later, terraces cut the hill like sculpted steps, and a temple’s carved gates give way to a pool of spring water that locals still treat as sacred.
