You step out of the air‑conditioned minivan into a humid Balinese morning; the road hums with scooters and temple offerings, palms brushing the sky. The driver—a multilingual local—hands you a bottle of water and the route unfurls: monkey forest paths, sculpted rice terraces, a volcanic caldera’s rim and a hot spring steaming against a lake-sliced horizon.
