Batur Lake - Bali
Batur Lake - Bali
Batur Lake is the old crater of
Mount Batur, a still active volcano next to it. It is located on the northern
part of Bali. The largest lake overshadowed by the active volcano is located in
Bangli Regency, at the northeast of Bali. Batur Lake is the widest lake in this
island. It lies down in the feet of Mount Batur and Mount Abang. The lake is
classified as a "neutral-dilute" lake because there is no known
underlying hydrothermal activity, and the abundant rainfall more than quenches
any such activity. There is a hot spring right by the lake. We can enjoy the
spectacular scenery of Batur Lake from Kintamani. Across the lake, only
reachable by boat, lies Trunyan village, where the Bali Aga people live. The
surrounding of the lake is a favorite place for picks self up. At Batur Lake we
can see the scenic view and feel cool atmosphere. Bangli's mountainous region
center is around the spectacular volcanic crater (or caldera) of Batur. Mount
Batur adjacent to the volcano is the large crescent-shaped Batur Lake, all
surrounded by the high walls of the crater rim. The place is a great day trips,
trekking or just to get away from the daily activity.
Mount Batur itself is actually
just a small volcano, but sets in the heart of a huge crater 14km in diameter.
Adjacent to the volcano is the large crescent-shaped Batur Lake, all surrounded
by the high walls of the crater rim. As the road rises steadily from Bangli or
Tampaksiring, nothing in the surrounding gray landscape of bushes and garden
plots suggests the presence of a volcano. But over one more small ridge a
dizzying view awaits the ayes, encompassing the crater and beyond. From
Panelokan, the main road runs right round the rim towards Kintamani, the
panorama shifting as we circle around the crater. One very interesting
excursion in Batur is the climb down the inside of the crater from Penelokan to
Kedisan. We can then drive around the smaller Mount Batur, through Songan. From
Toya Bungkah, boats cross the lake to a Bali Aga village called Trunyan. This
place is notorious for its mortuary traditions. Instead of cremating the dead,
as Balinese do throughout most of the island, the Trunyan communities leave the
bodies to decompose naturally in a special cemetery.
