Welcome to Kintamani!



Kintamani is one of the most scenic and interesting areas of Bali. A massive volcano 30,000 years ago created 3 kilometer wide caldera. Now Lake Batur fills half of the ancient caldera and the active Volcano Mount Batur occupies the other half.

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.

Kintamani volcano is 1,500m (4,921ft) height 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.
