What to expect
You'll start early to beat crowds at Monkey Forest, where semi-wild macaques roam freely among moss-covered temples and stone pathways. The forest canopy keeps things cool. From there, drive to Tegallalang where you'll walk between rice paddies on narrow paths—muddy stretches aren't uncommon during wet season. Bali Swing is a short jungle hike; it's touristy but the view justifies it. Tegenungan Waterfall involves a short trek down to the cascade. Expect moderate walking throughout the day in humid conditions. Lunch is at a local warung (your driver knows the better spots). Market browsing and the coffee plantation round things out.
Good to know
