Mt. Batur is one of Bali's most photographed active volcanoes. Built alongside sulphurous hot springs that bubble into the lake, even the village's cheapest home-stay boast a constant supply of hot water, perfect for easing the aching limbs of weary hikers.
The cresent-shaped Lake Batur is set within the gigantic caldera of an extinct volcano. It is reminiscent of a huge soup bowl with a serrated lip, a floor half covered in water and a set of volcanic cones-the volatile mass of Mount Batur- budding in the centre. At 1717 metres, Batur is by no means Bali highest volcano but it is Bali's second most sacred mountain after Mt. Agung, and has erupted more than 20 times over the last two centuries.
