Morning light filters through palm fronds as your private driver eases off the main road and into Ubud’s quieter lanes. The day stretches like a slow procession: temple gates carved with mythic faces, terraces stepping down a volcanic valley, and a small rain forest where monkeys move like mischievous hosts.
