You step out of an air-conditioned van into a humid Balinese morning and the valley exhales around you—palm fronds shiver, and the Pakerisan River below seems to pull you toward its riffles. The day begins with a safety briefing and a snug inflatable tube; for the next 1.5 hours the river dares you through 4.5 km of class II+ rapids, splashy eddies and quieter pools where the jungle leans in close.
