About Kintamani & Mount Batur

Kintamani is Bali's highland volcanic region — home to the active Mount Batur (1,717m), the stunning Lake Batur crater lake, and some of the island's most dramatic panoramic views.

The pre-dawn trek to Mount Batur's summit for sunrise is one of Bali's most popular adventure experiences, rewarding hikers with a 360-degree panorama of the caldera, lake, and Mount Agung on the horizon.

Beyond the trek, the region offers natural hot springs, traditional Bali Aga villages (Bali's original inhabitants), and coffee plantations producing the famous Kintamani Arabica.
