More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
At dusk a vintage VW eases onto a narrow lane outside Ubud and the jungle leans in as you prepare a champing tent beneath a sky thick with stars. The first evening centers on Kintamani: ash-gray ridgelines and Lake Batur breathe cool air while a small wood fire throws quick shadows across woven mats. By day two the route runs east to Bukit Asah and the stretch known as Virgin Beach, where surf and sun dare you to walk the shoreline.
