Morning light slices through palms as your driver eases out of the coastal sprawl and into Bali’s central foothills. By mid‑morning the air has cooled; the road unfurls past stepped rice paddies and temple gates. The day moves with purpose: a barong dance, craftsmen at work in Celuk and Mas, a coffee stop, the roar of Tegenungan, a close encounter with macaques in the Monkey Forest, and the layered sweep of Tegalalang.
