Travel Tips
Kintamani village on the crater rim offers the best elevated views. Combine a lake visit with a Mount Batur sunrise trek or a soak in the volcanic hot springs. Fresh grilled fish at lakeside warungs is excellent value. The road around the lake passes through traditional Bali Aga villages worth a stop.
