Morning timing
Start early—Tegenungan and Tegalalang are far less crowded before 9:30 a.m., and light is better for photos.
Temple dress code
Carry a sarong or wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees; some temples provide wraps but it's faster to bring your own.
Footwear for wet terrain
Wear grippy sandals or trail shoes—steps near the waterfall and rice terraces can be slippery.
Watch your pockets around macaques
Keep cameras and loose items secured—the monkeys are bold and can snatch unattended gear.
Quick‑dry clothing
Light fabrics handle humidity and dry quickly after waterfall spray.
