Bali has a loud side and a quiet one. The quiet one starts about an hour inland, where the roads climb and the air cools down.

## Getting there

Skip the south coast and head straight to Munduk or Sidemen. A driver for the day costs less than you think.

## Where to stay

Small family guesthouses with four or five rooms, breakfast included and a view over the terraces.

## What I would do differently

I would stay longer in one place. Bali rewards slow mornings more than long day trips.

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
