Places to see in Kintamani

Active volcano climbed before dawn for sunrise over the caldera and the lake — roughly two hours up, and guided.

Bali's third-highest peak, on the caldera's eastern rim — a forested climb with a fraction of Batur's crowd.

Hot pools on the shore of Lake Batur fed by the volcano — where the sunrise trek usually finishes.

Restaurant built out over Lake Batur at Kedisan, eaten at water level looking back up at the caldera wall rather than down from it.

Rim restaurant looking straight across at Gunung Batur, on the road most sunrise tours come back down.

Cafe on the crater rim with the full sweep of Batur and the lake below. Cloud usually wins after midday, so come early.

Buffet restaurant on the Kintamani caldera rim, built for the view straight across the lake to Batur. The standard volcano lunch stop.

Terraced cafe stepped down the crater rim so most tables get the volcano view rather than only the front row.

The high temple of the Batur caldera, rebuilt on the rim after the 1926 eruption buried the original down by the lake.

Volcano museum at Penelokan on Batur's eruptions and the geology of the caldera you are standing on.

Temple on the site of the old Balingkang court, where Balinese and Chinese elements stand side by side.

Bali's highest temple, on the caldera rim above Kintamani, holding a collection of weathered stone statuary.

Warung down at lake level in Kedisan, serving the freshwater fish farmed in Batur itself — grilled whole, with rice and sambal.
