Kintamani is a region of rhapsodic beauty snuggled up in the eastern part of Bali. With plenty of jungles, mountains and lakes in its kitty, Kintamani is one of the chief tourist places under Bali tour packages. Its marquee attraction is, no doubt, Mount Batur which is an active volcano. There is a huge demand amongst the tourists to set their eyes on this mammoth and intriguing structure. Nature does indeed make its presence felt in the most awe-eliciting manner in this region through the smoke-belching volcanic mountain. For a tourist, there can be nothing more exciting than to watch, in utter fascination, the thick dense smoke emerging from the crater’s mouth.

Kintamani is easily reachable from any part of Bali. One can reach the place from Ubud as well without any trouble. While Mount Batur is the top attraction, Kintamani holds a number of other delights up its sleeves. The lake at the foot of the mountain (Lake Batur) is a visual ecstasy. It is sprawled over a large area and has a turquoise tinge to it. The landscaped mountain and the open blue skies add to the serenity and wonderment of the place. The place is too photogenic to believe! Photography is a must-do activity and Bali tourism statistics reveal that this site has been trodden by a number of photographers over the years. It is recommended that you start early and visit the place towards the early morning. On hindsight, you can also cherish the evening panorama under the sun-kissed sky.

Mount Batur’s popularity is increasing day by day. Backpackers these days are very enthusiastic about visiting unique places especially the ones where there is some scope for adventure and thrill. It is not every day that people get to see an active volcano and so it makes sense to include Mount Batur under your Bali tour packages. There are small villages and hamlets as well in the vicinity which offer an unworldly quaintness and charm. If you are in the mood to get nostalgic, then these villages must definitely be explored.

Besides, Bali tourism has also picked up momentum because of a slew of adventure sports. This place itself is renowned for outdoor sports like trekking and cycling. The mountainside locales are also perfect for camping and canoeing.

There are good accommodation facilities in the vicinity with rejuvenating spas and resorts regaling the visitors. Overall, a visit to Mount Batur is highly recommended for more than one reason.
