Morning light slides through palm fronds as a private car pulls away from Ubud’s quieter lanes, and the day unfolds between rice terraces, market stalls and a waterfall that insists you slow down. The route threads through villages of carvers and silversmiths, pausing at the palace square where carved doorways mark centuries of Balinese court life, then onward to the steep green steps of Tegalalang and the thundering curtain of Tegenungan.
