Two hours by road from Denpasar in Bali’s north-east lie several villages on the rim of the Batur caldera in an area known simply as Kintamani Volcano.
At 1,500m (4,921ft) above sea level, the villages (Penelokan, Batur amd Kintamani) have impressive views of the active volcano Mount Batur and the crater lake (Lake Batur).
Many visitors opt for a moderate climb to the summit of Mount Batur to watch the sunrise but less physically-able individuals can still get a good view of the surrounding countryside from the crater rim.
As well as the lake and the volcano, Kintamani is home to Pura Ulun Danu Batur, one of Bali's most important temples.

Doing what: Bali Kintamani Volcano, Ubud and Barong Dance Full-Day Tour
I was the only person on this trip which i thought was cool. I had my own tour guide who waited patiently and show me around to so many places like the wood and metal factory and silk. Coffee must try over there! Must try the buffett facing the volcano, only 15AUD including big bottle of bingtang bought. Not included in tour fee but worth it for experience.
It is best to arrive at Kintamani early as cloud cover sets in by late afternoon. Remember to bring a warm layer of clothing - Kintamani is much cooler than most of Bali’s coastal towns.
Kintamani is about 50km (31mi) from Denpasar.
