Morning light in central Bali arrives like a slow exhale: humid air lifting off rice paddies, motorbikes breathing along narrow roads, and the distant clap of a waterfall that seems to pull the valley toward it. On a private Ubud tour that stitches together Kanto Lampo and Tibumana waterfalls, the sculpted steps of Tegallalang, a coffee plantation stop, and the cleansing pools of Tirta Empul, you move through a landscape that alternates between energetic and devotional.
