A low sun gilds the limestone cliff as the driver eases into the temple carpark and the ocean’s roar becomes a constant presence. Visitors step onto the Uluwatu ridge with frangipani scent and a scatter of macaques as company; below, the surf pushes clean lines toward white sand. By dusk the cliff-top turns theatrical — torches flare, voices chant, and the Kecak fire dance frames the horizon.
