MOUNTAIN RETREAT
The journey starts from the minute we step on the bus, slowly leaving the business of the city behind.
As the roads become steeper and the air crisper, the views open into stunning expanses of hills, sawah (rice fields), and desa (village) life, we enter into a part of Bali where hidden waterfalls and lush greenness await us.
The bus seemingly stops in the middle of a road, and there it is, the entrance to the jungle.
With the humble and knowledgeable guidance of Yatra Tours’s local friends, we’re led to trek down a winding path through trees whose branches hang heavy with fruit and nuts, coffee beans and avocado.
Watch your step, it gets slippery at times and that might be the subtle clue that the waters are near.
