BATUR
Well known for the still active Mount Batur which erupted and destroyed the original village of Batur in 1926, the town has been rebuilt on the crater rim. The lake views and temple are the main attractions today. One very popular activity is the pre-dawn hike to the mountain peak to catch the spectacular sunrise over the Java Sea.
As the road rises steadily from Bangli or Tampaksiring, nothing in the surrounding grey landscape of bushes and garden plots suggest the presence of a volcano. But over, one more small ridge a dizzying view awaits the eyes, encompassing the crater and beyond. From Penelokan, the main road runs right round the rim towards Kintamani, the panorama shifting as circling around the crater.
Located less than an hour from north Bangli. Danau Batur is Bali's largest lake and cribbed with the calderas of an active volcano named Gunung Batur.
TOYA BUNGKAH Set on the shores of Lake Batur, Toya Bungkah is known for its hot spring bathing pool. The drive across the crater in Mt. Batur reveals some amazing road-building techniques, although the spring itself is not spectacular.
Trunyan An ancient village located on the eastern shore of Lake Batur, Trunyan has retained the traditions of lifecycle rituals and taboos that still fascinate visitors and anthropologists. Be prepared for a rip off if you try to book a trip yourself, it has been known for the boat-owner to stop halfway there, and demand more money, to bring you back.

Kintamani On the agenda of almost every tour offered in Bali, is a trip to Kintamani which almost always disappoints; the promises of fresh mountain air and spectacular views, is often spoiled by the aggressive hawkers.
Penelokan Literally meaning "the place for looking", this fascinating viewing spot overlooks the still active volcano crater and Lake Batur. Stop the car for a great photo.
