A cold mountain area which is always covered by fogs before 8.00 am and

Actually Kintamani village is a village located at the edge of a mountain
caldera. Many years ago, a big- high mount erupted and make a big caldera
which know as Lake Batur nowadays. You can imagine how big the caldera
should be if an independent lake and mount could be exist inside. When

well as a place to hire equipments for water sports activities such as
fishing, skiing, parasailing, and so on. A small library for public owned
by the most Indonesian artist, that is Sutan Takdir Alisahbana, also available
here. This village is become a starting point for mountain climbers before
climbing Batur Mount.
