Before dawn the jeep’s headlights carve a ribbon through pine-scented air as Bali’s high plateau waits in silhouette. You arrive at a low ridge above Mount Batur’s caldera just in time: steam lifts from the lake, clouds thin, and the crater’s edge catches the first light. The volcano seems to breathe, rumbling history into the cool morning.
