tips_and_updates Travel Tips

Keep a firm grip on belongings — the resident monkeys are notoriously bold and will snatch sunglasses, bags, and phones. A sarong is mandatory to enter; wrap it tightly. Book Kecak dance tickets in advance during peak season. The cliffside walk around the temple perimeter offers exceptional ocean views at golden hour.
