You step out of an air-conditioned car into a humid Balinese morning and the road opens into rice terraces that seem to tilt toward the horizon. The guide parks near a high roadside outlook at Tegallalang and you feel the slope of the valley underfoot, green steps cut by the subak irrigation channels that still move water the way farmers have for centuries.
