The Jeep rattles off the paved road and into a black landscape that still remembers fire. Wind carries dust and the faint scent of fresh-cut vegetables from small farms as the 4WD climbs toward Mount Batur’s western lava flows. From the vehicle’s ridge windows the Kintamani caldera opens: a bowl of green villages and lake, while Mount Batur’s cone watches like a restless neighbor.
