The first paddle breaks the morning quiet: mist lifts off the Ayung, birds call from the riverbank, and the current nudges the raft into a narrow gorge. Guides call cadence; the river answers with ripples and small waves. Vegetation presses close—ferns, bamboo, and carved stone outcrops—while occasional waterfall curtains cool the air.
