Batur Volcano Climbing Tour

mount batur baliThe Mount Batur itself is actually just a small volcano, but sets in the heart of a huge crater 14km in diameter. The mountain area is most dramatically first seen if you arrive at Penelokan. 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. From Panelokan, the main road runs right round the rim towards Kintamani, the panorama shifting as you circle around the crater. What are you actually looking at is a vast caldera, 11 km (6 7/8 miles) across, the hollowed-out remains of a gigantic volcano that in prehistoric time exploded, blowing away its entire cone and leaving only the bony, saucer-shaped rim.

Mount Batur, whose broken crest rises 1,717 meters above sea level, is the central to the view. Its slopes are scarred with lava-flows, and all desolation. Magnificent though the mountain is, it is the product of more recent and smaller eruptions and its summit is actually only 328 meters higher than the outer crater rim at Penelokan.

Its last major eruption in 1926 completely destroyed the village of Batur, situated at that time on the western shore of the lake. It was never rebuilt, but its important temple was relocated up on the outer-crater rim, between Penelokan and Kintamani, and this is now the place meant by Batur village.

To your right lies Batur Lake. It is 8 kilometers (5 miles) long and 3 kilometers (1 7/8 miles) wide and fills almost a third of the area of the caldera. The cliffs that fall abruptly down to the lake’s eastern edge rise to their maximum height in summit of Mount Abang, 3,153 meters and in a direct line between Batur and Abang.
The right-hand (eastern) shore of the lake appears to press right up against these cliffs, but long ago some Bali Aga remnants, retreating in the face of invaders, found a flat piece of land and established the village of Trunyan, where few could be interested in following them. The village is clearly visible, a prominent patch of red in an otherwise pastel landscape played over by the changing shadows of the clouds.
