Watch the monkeys
Keep small items secured and avoid feeding or touching macaques; they can grab bags and are attracted to food.
Temple dress code
Bring or wear a sarong and sash for temple visits; guides often provide these, but having one speeds transitions.
Hydrate and pace
Carry a refillable water bottle and sip frequently—Kintamani’s sun and walking can dehydrate you quickly.
Stair descent at Tukad Cepung
Expect steep, slippery steps into a canyon for the waterfall; wear shoes with good traction and take your time.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction for uneven temple paths and the descent into Tukad Cepung cave.
Light rain jacket
Quick showers are common; a packable jacket keeps you dry during sudden rain.

Refillable water bottle
