Good to know
- Ubud: Visit Tegallalang at sunrise for soft light and empty paths.
- Bali (South Coast): Pick one base per area; Bali traffic makes long daily drives tiring.
- Nusa Penida: Roads are rough; hire a driver rather than a scooter.
- Lombok & the Gili Islands: Stay on Gili Air or Meno for quiet; Trawangan is the party island.
