Mind the monkeys
Keep bags closed, avoid sudden movements, and don’t feed the macaques — they’re wild and food can provoke aggressive behavior.
Dress for temples
Bring a lightweight sarong or wear clothes that cover shoulders and knees for Ubud Palace and temple grounds.
Timing for photos
Visit Tegalalang early or late to avoid midday haze and peak crowds — the light is best at sunrise or late afternoon.
Carry small change
Vendors, local toilets, and modest entrance fees often take cash only — keep some rupiah handy.
Comfortable walking shoes
Support and grip for uneven temple compounds and the waterfall descent.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated in Bali’s heat is essential — refill at stops or your vehicle.
Light rain jacket or poncho
Quick tropical showers are common; a compact rain layer keeps you dry between stops.
summer
Sunscreen and hat
