There are 2 routes that are generally used. The preferred route of the drivers is the quicker one. It takes approx 2hrs 30 mins. and is less windy/hilly. It takes you through Klungkung, along the coast to Candidasa, up through Amlapura and on to Amed.
The other more scenic route goes inland through Sideman, Sibetan, Salak and joins the other route close to Amlapura on to Amed. This is an incredibly beautiful journey... but the roads are not as good [but still very ok] and journey time is approx 3hours.
If you get a good car with good AC, you wont be too hot.
