Forget the curated influencer spots. This is where you actually watch artisans hammer molten metal in gritty, sweat-soaked foundries. It’s loud, unpolished, and the most legit craft scene left in Bali. Spend two hours hopping between workshops, then check out the ancient stone carvings at Pura Gaduh. Public transit is non-existent, so book a full-day private driver for about $25 to handle the backroads. Skip the tour buses and just show up early for the heat.
