Gunung Batur is an active volcano near Lake Batur on the Indonesian island of Bali. The volcano is located in the center of two concentric calderas, northwest of Gunung Agung. Gunung Batur is 1,717 meters high.
Mount Batur Trekking has long been one of the highlights of the active travelers’s trip to Bali. The Mount Batur Sunrise Trek is one of our most popular tours for good reason. Not only do you get to explore an active volcano and get up close and personal with one of Bali’s most sacred mountains, but you also get to experience spectacular views of the sun bursting onto the horizon in a riot of oranges and yellows and slowly spreading over the caldera and lake below.
Pura Tirta Empul, translated to Holy Spring Temple in English language, is one of Bali’s most sacred Hindu temples. Located in Tampaksiring, north of Ubud, it is famous for its natural spring water and Melukat translated to Water Purification in English, a spiritual cleansing practice for mind, body, and spirit.
Rice Terraces offer more than just stunning landscapes. It’s a place where natural beauty, cultural traditions, and memorable experiences come together. Whether you come for photography, trekking, or the local culture, Rice Terraces is a must-visit spot.
