A predawn drive climbs out of Ubud’s sleeping lanes and into cool mountain air, the jeep’s lights cutting through banana and coffee trees as the summit waits above the clouds. By the time the horizon begins to bruise, the vehicle delivers passengers to a panorama at roughly 1,560–1,717 m where the caldera opens and the first light pushes across the volcanic ridge.
