Before dawn the jeep rumbles away from Ubud and the road narrows into highland black earth. Headlights pick out terraced farms as the vehicle climbs; the air grows cooler and the silhouette of Mount Batur looms, a vast shape against an easing sky. At the sunrise drop-off you step out into a world turning from indigo to gold, the caldera and Lake Batur reflecting first light while the volcano seems to wake and watch.
