The day begins with damp jungle air and the chatter of macaques as you step into Ubud's Sacred Monkey Forest, where stone bridges and temple shrines appear through a canopy that seems to watch you back. From there the road climbs toward Tegalalang—terraced rice walls stacked like living steps—each level catching light and shadow as water moves through the ancient SUBAK channels.
