About Mount Batur and Lake Batur
Mount Batur rises inside a great caldera at Kintamani, beside Lake Batur. UNESCO calls the crater lake the ultimate origin of every spring and river on the island; the Supreme Water Temple, Pura Ulun Danu Batur, stands at its edge. The sunrise climb is made with local guides.
