More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light slices through palm fronds as the Ayung River threads downhill, drawing you toward two hours of class 2–3 whitewater that alternately teases and pushes. Paddle strokes sync with the current; spray hits your face and the jungle closes in, moss and limestone cliffs keeping time with the river.
