## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- The entrance fee is IDR 30,000 for adults in 2026, not IDR 15,000-20,000 as older blogs say.
- 'Swim at Tegenungan' in a tour listing is not guaranteed: staff open or close the water on the day.
- 'Free admission' on some Viator itinerary lines is a stop label; the gate fee is covered only on inclusive options.
- Tegenungan is not in Ubud town: it is in Kemenuh village, Gianyar, 10-11 km south.
- The monkey forest on the ATV combo (60357P9) is Sangeh, not Ubud's Sacred Monkey Forest.
- The private driver listing (163605P4) has no fixed Tegenungan stop; you add it yourself.
