Before dawn the Jeep grumbles up the narrow road toward Kintamani, air cool and wet with mountain mist. You arrive at a ridge as the sky lightens and Mount Batur’s cone and Lake Batur throw back a pale gold—an instant that insists on photographs. The Jeep’s suspension soaks up the rough volcanic tracks; ahead lie black lava fields that still shape the land and hot springs steaming on the lake’s edge.
