What to expect
You'll spend the morning and early afternoon hopping between East Bali's quieter corners in your own vintage VW, with plenty of stops for photos and exploration. The drive winds through terraced farmland and past villages where daily life carries on around you. Lempuyang requires a climb—not strenuous but steady—to reach the famous gates. The Water Palace is a gentle wander through manicured grounds. Lunch (Indonesian set menu, vegetarian available) breaks up the day. Expect moderate heat and humidity; the open-top car catches breeze but offers no shade during stops.
