What to expect
You'll start early and move between four or five stops, each a short drive apart. Expect to walk on uneven terrain—temple steps, muddy paths around rice fields, slippery rocks near the waterfall. The monkey forest requires alertness; they're habituated to people but unpredictable. Between stops, your guide fills the journey with background on Balinese belief and daily life. Bring swimmers and a change of clothes for the waterfall. Most sites are moderately busy by mid-morning, so early starts help.
