Mist rises off the Ayung River as guides steady a raft against the current; tropical air tastes of wet stone and frangipani. Paddles dip and the river answers, pushing the boat through narrow gorges and past jungle-clad banks where sunlight breaks in slats. This is a full-day Ubud itinerary that pairs a two-hour whitewater stretch on Ayung River with an afternoon of cultural stops — a buffet lunch, the Monkey Forest, Ubud Market and the famed Tegalalang rice terraces.
