You step out of a cool private minivan onto a narrow Balinese lane; humid air and the distant rumble of falling water pull you down a stone stairwell into the jungle. Tukad Cepung opens like a curtain—shafts of sunlight slice through the cliff mouth and the river dares you forward. Later, Kanto Lampo’s steps and pools invite hands and quick wading, while the terrace slopes of Tegalalang roll away in layered green, farmers guiding the rhythm of irrigation.
