More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning in central Bali begins humid and immediate: you step out of an air-conditioned van into rice paddies cut into stair-steps of green, and the river below seems to dare you to follow it upstream. The day moves through sound and motion — the slap of water at Tegenungan, the layered ribbons of Kanto Lampo, the hush of Ulu Petanu’s jungle — before the light softens and you trade a jungle trail for the slow heave of a wooden Phinisi under sail.
