Dawn in central Bali unfurls over rice terraces as the air tightens with humidity and the van eases out of Ubud toward the Petanu River. By mid-morning Tegenungan roars—water punching down roughly 20 meters, spray daring photographers in close—and the forest hums with long‑tailed macaques that treat pathways like living rooms.

Gravel, stairs and wet platforms at waterfalls require stable footwear.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen)

Required for temple entry and respectful cultural practice.
Compact camera or phone with waterproof case
