A morning on the Pusuk Pass begins with wind that seems to push you toward the horizon and monkeys that fidget on guardrails, daring you to protect your pack. From this ridge the Gili islands sit like pale coins on the sea; the road then drops into rainforest and the sound of water grows louder—Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls arrive as a sudden, cool punctuation.
