Morning light filters through coconut palms as a private car slips away from Ubud’s quiet streets and into Bali’s verdant interior. The tour opens with the Barong and Kris performance — drums and gongs driving a ritualized clash of good and evil — placing you inside a living chapter of Balinese myth.
