The jeep’s headlights cut through pre-dawn air as you rattle away from your hotel toward Mount Batur’s rim. By the time you climb from the vehicle, the caldera is a dark bowl and the stars are still arguing with the first light. A light breakfast and warm drink arrive as the horizon ignites—ribbons of orange and gold sliding across Lake Batur while the volcanic slopes cool and harden into sharp silhouettes.
