You arrive before the sun climbs high, the road climbing through green ridges as mist lifts from the twin lakes. At Banyumala Twin Waterfall two streams drop side-by-side into a clear pool, the water daring you to wade beneath its cool force; farther up, the manicured symmetry of Handara Gate frames a steep, forested slope like a carved photograph. By midday the floating tiers of Ulun Danu Beratan sit on Lake Beratan, their black meru roofs punctuating a broad, glassy surface.
