You arrive before the heat builds, the van turning off a narrow road into a band of jungle where the sound of water steals forward first. At Tegenungan the falls announce themselves—white voice and wet stone—inviting a cool swim below a curtain of limestone. Later, the terrace ridges of Tegalalang step away like carved green benches, each level fed by the Subak irrigation channels that have shaped Balinese agriculture for centuries.
