Road notes
- The roads to Jatiluwih and Bedugul climb steadily — a Vario 125, NMAX or PCX is more comfortable than a 110 cc.
- Mountain weather changes quickly; carry a raincoat.
- Petrol stations are fewer once you leave the south; fill up in Canggu or Mengwi.
Plan Tanah Lot for the end of the day: it's close to Canggu and the sunset is the main event.
