You step out of an air-conditioned car into a humid Balinese morning and the road opens to rice terraces that roll away in layered steps. The day reads like a short survey of central Bali: a swimming-capable waterfall clattering through a green gorge, ancient cliff-carved shrines beside a sacred river, and a high rim that looks down on Lake Batur and the smoking cone of Mount Batur.
