You step out of the minivan and the air feels cooler — a sharp, green breath after Seminyak’s coast. Mist clings to the lake around Ulun Danu Beratan; temple roofs rise like ink against the water. The day unspools along mountain roads, through terraced rice that folds into the slope, and to waterfalls that demand a short, slippery descent.

Conservation
Stick to trails, avoid single-use plastics, and don’t remove plants or stones — terraces and freshwater sources are sensitive to erosion and pollution.
