The road drops toward the Bukit Peninsula and, before you, the temple perches on a sheer limestone cliff with the Indian Ocean pushing against the rock below. Salt wind carries the first notes of the kecak chorus as visitors thread along narrow paths, and long-tailed macaques patrol the edges with comic arrogance.
