In brief:Welcome to Batur Mountain Trekking
I has just visited an amazing Panorama of Batur mountain. Wow, actually, climb to the summit of Batur Mountain ( just a two hour ascent if beginning at Toya Bungkah about 8 km from Panelokan) is not so difficult and doesn’t require a guide and once at the top, there in even a ” warung” from where to civilly enjoy the surrounding panorama, I felt like climbing the Trikora Mountain in Papua! It is at sunrise that the crowds gather, largely due to the cooler temperatures as well as the fact that there is a serene atmosphere as the day breaks after all, Nehru dis call Bali the ” morning of the world” – although a quick reality check is the wipes of steam that rise from the volcanic rock to drift across the black lava slopes, reminding us that it is not yet extinct. The original village of Batur was buried by lava in the eruption of 1926, forcing its inhabitants to resettle on the high cliffs overlooking the caldera. With them they took one shrine unharmed by 
the eruption, the most revered shrine, which was dedicated to the goddess of the lakes and waters, Ida Batara Dewi Ulun Danu, and rebuilt it as Pura Ulun Danu and placed it in the centre of the new Batur Village.
The first view of the volcano and crescent-shaped Crater Lake is as stunning as it is unexpected. The climbing road suddenly emerges at the edge of the crater overlooking the entire basin. This is known as Panelokan (translated as “viewing spot”) and there are several restaurants from where to repose and get a well deserved bite. Remember to bring along a camera, as the breathtaking view is one to be cherished and shared back home.
In recent years, the Batur mountain have become a favorite trekking area in Bali. Welcome!! Down here are some images of Batur mountain area.It’s a great idea, if this tour starts trekking up at 03 am, so you have change to see the morning light from the east!
