More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air‑conditioned minivan onto the high plain of Kintamani and the wind immediately feels different—cooler, sharp with volcanic rock and the green of terraces stretching downhill. Ahead, Mount Batur rises in raw greys and black, its caldera holding Lake Batur like a bowl. The day moves with quiet contrasts: sacred water at Tirta Empul, the compact order of Penglipuran Village, hand-painted batik stalls, and the stepped geometry of Tegallalang rice fields.

History
The Batur caldera formed through repeated eruptions; surrounding villages include Bali Aga communities that preserve older Balinese customs and settlement patterns.
Conservation
