A day through the heart of Bali's culture, timed to stay ahead of the crowds. Walk the Tegallalang terraces early, join a purification ritual at the spring temple of Tirta Empul with a guide who explains each fountain, and descend to the 11th-century royal shrines carved into the cliffs at Gunung Kawi. The afternoon is slower: lunch above the Ayung gorge, then silversmiths, woodcarvers and painters in the villages around Ubud.
