Mount Batur is the most active volcano in Bali and its last eruption was recorded in 2000. The peak sits at 1717 meters (5,633 ft.) above sea level and offers breathtaking views of Lake Batur, black lava from the last explosion, and surrounding mountains. Mount Batur is considered by the Balinese the second important mountain after Mount Agung.
The best view is at Penelokan village (Kintamani) but basically along the main road all the way to Kintamani you can see the entire Lake of Batur (Danau Batur). There are also some old Balinese villages around Batur Lake, often referred to as Bali Aga villages. Penelokan is a popular stopover. From here, you can enjoy the sweeping views over the magnificent Bali Volcano.
