    Pura Ped

    Walk to Pura Ped. It sits on the main north coast road between Toyapakeh and Sampalan. This is an extremely important temple for Balinese Hindus, with many making an annual pilgrimage here. Arriving early helps you avoid the midday rush. Remember that entry requires full ceremonial dress, so sarong and sash for both men and women are mandatory.

    Vegan Soul

    Head to Vegan Soul, a café located just a short walk from the temple. It opens at 08:00, making it a perfect spot to grab a coffee or a light snack while the morning is still cool. The venue is open daily until 21:30.

    Friends of the National Parks Foundation

    Finish your visit at the Friends of the National Parks Foundation viewpoint. It is located about an 11-minute walk from the temple area in a WNW direction. This is a good spot to take in the surroundings and reflect on the morning before heading back.
