Pesona Dewata Travel Guide

Are you spending this holiday season in Bali? Don’t forget to relish the beauty of the Bali landscapes. Take some time off to visit Kintamani - a serene village in the northern part of Bali. This village and several nearby villages are situated on the edge of the massive Mount Batur caldera, around 1,500m over sea level. This is a great place to enjoy some of the most stunning views of Lake Batur and Mount Batur volcano. Above all, the Batur caldera is amazing with its sixty feet depth and seven miles of diameter.

If there is a place that you must surely visit in Bali; it is none other than Kintamani. There is no other spot in Bali where you can enjoy the spectacular views of mountainous landscapes along with the bubbling hot springs and the deep Crater Lake. Actually, the Batur is Bali’s biggest lake and provides some of the most stunning tourist locales that you can get on this island. This lake also acts as a major source for the underground water network, which includes springs and streams located in the mountain’s southern slopes.

Make sure you spend at least one night for climbing the volcano, if you are already in Kintamani; the reason is that it is a really cool place in the evenings. The mornings are also perfect and you will always remember the beautiful sunrise for the rest of your natural life. There are cottages available that allow you to view the scenic beauty of the sunrise right from your room. The hotel accommodation rates are also cheap, so you don’t have to worry about expenses on spending your night at Kintamani - you also get a lot of discounts on accommodation in this neighborhood. After relishing the spectacular sunrise, you can go on with your other tour visits.

Another aspect about Kintamani that is very famous is the local dog race, named, Anjing Kintamani. The race dog type used here is a mountain variety, which has moderately long hair in black, white, or brown color. You can also visit the village of Toya Bungkah and enjoy the hot spring of Toya Devasya. The hot water is very relaxing and will for sure give you a delightful experience. Although this may not be cheap, it is certainly worth the price that you pay. Visit Kintamani and take home memories of a life time.
