Kintamani Bali Hotels

Visitors usually come to the mountainous region of Kintamani on day trips, but it is well worth the effort to spend some time to explore the surrounds. A massive mountain, Mount Batur , which is still an active volcano, dominates the entire district of Kintamani. The village of Batur was formerly sited in the Batur crater prior to a violent eruption of the volcano in 1917 and again in 1926. Both explosions caused much death and destruction, but also had a positive impact in that the fertilizing properties of the ash made the soil rich. The area has become productive in oranges, banana trees and coffee plants. The villages of Batur and Kintamani now adjoin each other and the views are quite spectacular.
