A cool morning ride out of Ubud delivers you to a drop of green: Tegenungan’s cascade roaring against a backdrop of forested hills and rice-paddy slopes. The path down to the pool threads through spray and stone; vendors and local life press close to the trail while the river dares you to step in and cool off.

Gunung Kawi’s cliff shrines date back to the 11th century and are carved into volcanic tuff beside the Pakrisan River; nearby Batuan temple is known for dense stone relief work that reflects classical Balinese ritual life.
Conservation
