The headlamp beam cuts a narrow tunnel through humid night as a small group follows the guide up Mount Batur’s switchbacks. Steam rises from fumaroles below and the island’s silhouette sharpens against an inky sky—by the time the sun slides up over Bali, crater rims and rice terraces glow with hard-edged color.
