Monkey on the top of Batur by Jero Wijaya
Hello everyone, this is my first introduction welcomes you with greetings, my name is Jero Wijaya live at the nearest access to the top of Mt Batur. I have been hiked up over 1000 times to this volcano since 1987 currently, now Senior Advisor at Batur Local Guide Forum (BLGF). Bedroom reservation at the entire Toya Bungkah centred in the Hotel Puri Bening Lakefront’s office, our tour packages are acceptable to the worldwide markets in competitive. It’s my pleasure to assist you in interpreting the volcanic cataclysmic traces, it's unfortunate if visiting super historical VOLCANIC evident without the scientific guideline. This is the reason why I suggest to meet you before your unforgettable volcanic exploration is made. Enhance, the Indonesian islands exploration is also available with our local travel networks, this is the reason why you need us to assist and guide you in exploring the entire Indonesian archipelagos scientifically and professionally.
The past to the present period Mt Batur and its geological narrative history: the volcano has been currently emerged from a huge Batur Caldera and, situated on the submarine volcanic island (Bali), it is located on the part of the magmatic lava outlet which is emitted from the Pacific Ring of Fire begins at the Indian Ocean, Indonesia, Philippine, Japan, Alaska, Canada, United State, Mexico and South America encircles the Pacific Ocean. Mt Batur could be accessed from various parts of its hills; two of the trails are the base of Batur Local Guide Forum from Toya Bungkah-Bukit and from Mentik Bukit Mentik-Toya Bungkah. legalized by the authority.
One of our entrusted lodging providers is Arlina's bungalows can accommodate you at the night before hiking up Mt Batur in regard to prepare the volcanic and sunrise exploration. Arlina’s Bungalows has both cold and warm hot spring pools. The trip to the volcano is designed to be avoidance to the nocturnal tourist driver communities and, I confidently suggest you enjoy the speciality of night Hot Spring bath before hiking up the volcano on a cold morning.
Various volcanic specimens are interestingly rich of materials such: volcanic Igneous rock which is found mostly in the present parasitic cones and the lava fields due to the igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks outlet exited in these cones. Generally, volcanic eruption creates entire fertile ash and soil which is great for the agricultural crops surroundings, it causes the land rich in vegetative crops recently and, agricultural prosperity product becomes the opportunity for outsold to entire Bali and further islands for regional and national food beverage demands.
Other volcanic rocks such as andesitic and obsidian are also found in the older volcanic lava field which emitted during the formation of the Batur Caldera 29300-year-old caldera wall and 19300 years for the inner Caldera wall. Volcanic materials are economically mined for building construction foundation and delivered almost to the demander of the whole regions. Volcanic ashes which emitted from the pyroclastic eruption to the lava fields have been covered the bottom of the caldera valley between ten to 20 cm both from Mt Agung and Mt Batur eruption in 1963. In order to interpret the volcanic material characters, fluent and well attitude provider is demanded to elaborate your geological sciences. Though our guides are not completely in this category, you will be interpreted it by us before you explore it. Come to us and learn the volcano on the day before you see it.

k.09:1Our incompatible destination is that Java-Bali adventure which is geologically related to the world volcanoes and; it is a great experience provided for our valued guests, this can be a comparison to the other tour operators. Volcanic exploration is also provided on the longer Batur adventure. Mt Batur Sunrise package to the sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, igneous rocks, andesitic rocks fields is the non-trodden volcanic material localisation exploration.
Booking your night lodge including Mt Batur sunrise packages is a bright optional idea to avoid common Balinese hassles. The temperature on the top is between 0-15 F, the top of the volcano is freezing in the morning, you are recommended to take an extra warm cloth and trekking shoes with you. VOLCANIC HOT SPRING bath before hiking up to the volcano due to the hot spring heals your body up and you will feel warm after bathing particularly in the morning. Our expertise: hiking the mountains, climbing several mountains and various ecological forestry trekking which ran over 30 years in the country. It's clearly notified every change of the landscapes in these regions have different values. Another option is the Batur Caldera trekking, the most fantastic stunning and contains widespread viewpoints include volcanic landscapes. This is why my intention to introduce these places to you keeps in graduating status. Introducing: volcanic pyroclastic eruption: Stromboli lava fields, parasitic cones, volcanic black coloured lava fields are great for adventure seekers and it is my hobby to show my valued guests. Most visitors, local and international come to visit this place Regular to Mt Batur sunrise. They don't have any special acknowledgement of the volcanic characters from, but we are here on the Batur Local Guide knowing more the characters of it, you won’t be able to visit anywhere around here in regard to find correct the information.
THREE GREAT VOLCANIC EXPLORATION VALUES AT MT BATUR 1717M
Naturally provided for your tour regular Mount Batur sunrise, Intra-cones Batur Exploration and Volcanic Network Batur Sunrise Exploration. We are regularly based in Toya Bungkah Sub-village.
Mount Batur, Coordinates: (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)″E Bali Indonesia. Indonesian archipelagos are the most interesting world’s volcanic territorial; Java is the most beautiful tropical island; Bali emerged from Sub-marine volcanic eruption 3m years ago.
From 155 active volcanoes in Indonesia, twenty of them are currently active in Java and Bali, Java and Bali have volcanically active, two of them are active in Bali; the classical shape Mt. Agung and the dramatic shape Batur Caldera. Batur is the finest and the most beautiful Caldera in the world (Van Bemmelen 1970, in the centre of the caldera, is Mount Batur 1717 m ASL, one of the active volcanic cones emerged from the centre of the double concentric caldera.
The South East of the outer 10×13 km caldera existed Lake Batur 16 km2. The inner 7.5-kilometer-wide caldera formed during emplacement of the south Bali lahar-ignimbrite or igneous lava has been dated at about 23,670 and 28,500 years ago to the Southwest around Tanah Lot.

BATUR CALDERA EXPLORATION ON ANOTHER SIDE OF THE CALDERA
Batur Caldera sunrise trekking from Lake to Ocean is the best optional trip of all treks, this is fantastically spectacular, if you are moving from Toya Bungkah to East Bali such Amed etc, this is the greatest choice AMED BY FEET. Departure at 04:45, finishes at 11:00, and transfer to your next place: Amed, Padang Bai etc.
3. Mt Abang semi-climbing, where the second altitude of the caldera rim providing exciting viewpoints which are not similar to the other mountain tops due to the views of Lombok and sunrise over the Ocean and Mt Agung in Bali on one side and inside the caldera lake.
Mt Batur in the inner caldera, departure at 02:00, finish at 10:00. to the hotel.
NB, these three Best landscapes are not trodden by lack knowledge trip organisers and it is my top tourist destination in Indonesia. Especially the Batur exploration instead of the regular Mt Batur Sunrise tour organised, even though the commission seekers and Balinese drivers will also ask and offer Mt Batur sunrise tours, ironically they are doing this just to cheat you, they charge your trip direct to you but they will not know who your guide is, this kind of transaction is always ripping you off before you found the reality.
We do the best for our guests due to your holiday in harmonic and peace, you may ask us questions regarding the Balinese cultures; we are welcome to all your opinion with delightful due to our wishes to keep Bali clean and Harmony and the Rooms we rent in Puri Bening Lake Front are our deluxe and suite rooms.

Batur Caldera Dramatic Caldera, Indonesian archipelagos comprised most interesting world’s volcanoes; Java Island is the finest and the most beautiful Tropical Island in the world, Bali Island emerged from submarine volcanic eruption millions of years ago. From 155 active volcanoes in Indonesia, twenty of them are presently active in Java and Bali, Java has volcanically active from West to the East today and, two of these volcanoes are still active in Bali; the classical volcano shape Mt. Agung and the dramatic caldera shape (Batur). Batur Caldera is the finest and the most beautiful Caldera in the world (van Bemmelen 1970), inside the caldera emerges Mt Batur 1717 m ASL, it is one of the Indonesia active volcanoes emerging from the centre of double concentric calderas North West of Mt. Agung.
The Southeast of the outer 10×13 km caldera appeared lake Batur. And the inner caldera 7.5-kilometer was formed during emplacement of the south Bali lahar-ignimbrite and, has been dated particularly covered Ubud area, Igneous lahar had also flowed to the further Southwestern at Tanah Lot. Another scientific citation mentioned the strato-volcano had flowed igneous volcanic material to further island’s side; the Outer Caldera was formed during the explosion of the caldera lateral about 29,100 years ago for the outer caldera and, 19,100 years ago for the inner caldera? The volcanic lava field at Batur darkened the colour and the glecinium, Vaccinium and rhododendron are the earliest species could grow in the presence volcanic lava. The southeast wall of the inner caldera lies beneath is Lake Batur over 16 km2; adjacent Batur cone has been constructed within the inner caldera to a height above the outer caldera rim. The Batur strato-volcano has produced vents over much of the inner caldera, but an NE-SW fissure system has localized the Batur I, II, and III craters along the summit ranges. Basaltic lava flows from both summit and flank vents have reached the caldera floor and the shores of Lake Batur in the past. The caldera contains active volcano, 700-metre-tall, and the rest of the strato-volcano summit above the Lake Batur surface called Mt. Batur today.
Villages Inhabitance: Both in the outer and inner caldera is populated and includes the six main villages; Kedisan, Songan A, Songan B, Trunyan, Abang and Buahan, and further between outer and inner caldera is populated includes Belandingan and Pinggan villages. While on the rim of the outer caldera and nearby is populated and includes Siakin, Sukawana, Kintamani and North-Middle and South Batur. Community density is about 215 per km2, and over 90 percent are active in agricultural and crop merchandize economy. Those villages are entitled such stars of the Lake Batur (Bintang Danu). Our secretariat is located at Toya Bungkah sub-village, this sub-village is the bother Batur and Songan, and both villages are previously single village administration in each one, today synergized into the increasing habitants Batur and Songan increase several village administrations, Batur became three North Inner and South Batur and Songan became two village administrations Songan A and Songan B. Those villages are previously dominated the fields of the caldera valley including Lake Batur.
The locals largely rely on agriculture for their common economic sources; tourism has become stagnantly less popular due to the relatively straightforward of a variety of economic activities. The fertile black topsoils of the volcanic ash such as sediments today is encouraging and harvesting lots of agricultural products. Local responses to the UNESCO’s plan Batur Caldera is part of the Global Leopard Network is emerging and reacting from the communities on economic discrimination perspective even though it is unclearly understanding the vision. The tranquillity at the village’s lateral and inner Batur caldera demands constant native preservation and persuasive. We should take care this natural heritance to keep the prosperity running on.
Mt. Batur 1,717 m (5,633 ft)
Batur Caldera is related to the super volcano and world volcanic territorial. The first documented eruption date of Mt. Batur was in 1804 from the main crater, and other small craters also formed within the time and have been frequently active during the time (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN), and 1974 to the last two eruptions 1999 and 2000. The old hard lava stream between Mt. Batur and the lake particularly the 1849 lava field is extremely beautiful, the volcanic lava was destroyed into the lake bed and caused deep side of the lake on the lava edge. Unless Pray Eat and Love movie by Julia Robert is documented in this place in the Enjung Singa (Lion Cave). The lava field from the 1968 eruption is still viewable today from the western mouth of the caldera rim, I was there watching it during the 1974 eruption. The Western part of the caldera rim is a spectacular view of black lava fields on the West of Mt. Batur, these lava fields are flowed out from the lower craters in 1974. Here is also an area of sandy volcanic debris where you can join the motor-cross across the lava fields and volcanic lava sediments. While on the top of Mt. Batur during tourists watching sunrise silver-coloured monkeys is also interesting in self-picture with tourists.
Reforestation on the mountain is created green slopes everywhere today. Unfortunately, between dry and wet season the mountain slopes often burned by unpredictable due to cause the hot temperature and wind season. According to the annalists, planting eucalyptus Alba is not a great idea, this wide range reforestation of eucalyptus in Bali can cause lack watery land because they are extremely voracious to the water, but rich of the unknown in the policy makes unaware to this attention.
Lava fields and Julia Robert movie shooting Point,
The southern part of the inner caldera includes volcanic lava fields such as (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) is spectacularly interesting to visit on recreation programs; self-picture and pre-wedding moment, it’s extremely beautiful. Varieties evident include: lava tube, cinder cones and black lava field zone are the colours of the geo-terrestrials zone where the lake and the volcano situated adjacently photographic. This photographic volcanic terrestrial location is situated amongst Mt. Abang, Mt. Batur and the Lake inside; manual agricultural cultivation has been developed in this area, the locals deeply trying to keep holding this public property in individual intention because the unknown procedure is in their mind.
Lake Batur and its laymen
Lake Batur is the largest volcanic Crater Lake on the island 16 km2 wide and 91 m deep, it is ichthyologic, a good source of natural and farming fisheries, but the case now due to the pollution of the lake water with thick sediments and chemicals used by the agricultural activities surroundings the areal of the lake. While the vicinities around and inside the caldera more agricultural complex dominant surrounding the total measurement of the lake terrestrial. Lake unless Lake Batur comprised three levels of Character; the epilimnion is localized about ten m down from the lake surface, the metalimnion is localized and intermediating both epi and Hipholimnion, and hipholimnion is localized deeper down to the lake bed. These epi-meta and hipholimnion are frequently described such varieties of lake water characters and attention to introduce the condition of the lake water scientifically. Today analyzers stated scientific research was made in Lake Batur water quality to measure the water quality at Lake Batur this time through biological and non-biological pollution. According to them, systematic sampling is made at the laymen of lake Batur. They have been noted the data are analyzed by ecological statistic and its result is comparative to the standard water quality? Another view is that the pollution of the lake water is generally in four categories such as pathogen is caused by bacteria and Protozoa, Toxic is caused by the industrial west and agricultural chemical evaporation, eutrophication is caused by nutrient-rich and causes the shallowness of the lake bed and the deoxygenating.
Ignimbrite and vascular
Ignimbrite is the deposit of a pyroclastic eruption density current, which is a hot suspension of particles and gases flowing rapidly from a volcano driven by having a great density volcanic derbies. The ash is composed of glass shards and crystal fragments. Proximal to the volcanic source, ignimbrites commonly contain thick accumulations of lithic blocks, and distally, many show meter thick accumulations of rounded cobbles of pumice. Ignimbrites varieties depending on their composition and density. Many pale ignimbrites are daicitic or rhyolitic volcanic material said. Around southern part of Bali ignimbrite or igneous volcanic materials are excavated or mined and provided for the part of Balinese style temple or house construction today.
Sediment
Heavy sedimentation from the flowed volcanic materials are increasing time to time inside the Batur’s caldera and lake body, landslides frequently occur in the rainy season on the slopes of the caldera, this phenomenon often causes lakebed rises up and water volume gradually increasing due to the mud’s development is constantly accumulated and scattered on the lake bed from time to time. Some feasibility studies are presently still running, planning the heavy equipments will move mud from the lake bed and burying the destructed public lands around the caldera is disregarded through local opinion. Natural problems of high sedimentation volume from the economic activities such as over chemical fisheries, fish farms and lakeside agriculture include the industrial wasting over time. There are two main sources of sedimentation; the volcanic activity causes landslides and human economic chemical activities pesticide causes creation of macro fit evolution; this is serious demanding decontamination program action from anyone who cares in environments. In some part of the digging volcanic sedimentation if the trace of the digging mines you still can witness the trace of the volcanic strata which can bring you to the natural guidelines. The strata can educate you when it happens and how the volcano was erupted and cause the creation of volcanic landscapes.
Cinder Cone
A cinder cone is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as volcanic clinkers, cinders, volcanic ash, or scoria that has been built around the volcanic existent. They comprised of loose pyroclastic debris formed by explosive eruptions or lava fountains, typically cylindrical, vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders, clinkers, or scoria around the vent to form a cone that often is beautifully symmetric. Most scattered cinder cones around Mt. Batur have a beautiful shaped craters at the summit. The cinder cones often confuse lack volcanic skilled peoples in recognition and scientific interpretation. For the cinder-cones analysis, scientists are coexisted in pragmatic analysis, one to another assumed on dissimilar measurement of volcano. Effects, the size and shape of cinder cone depend on the volume of the volcanic debris sediment such different gravity and atmospheric pressure might change the dispersion of ejected debris and particles. It takes years to grow for scrubs and grasses around in order the sedimentation of volcanic debris are developed. Lichen and Idle wise are two earlier species can grow after glecinium, vaccinium and rhododendron could grow up. Around Mt. Batur is surrounded by widespread of cinder cones in the northeast and northwest localization of the volcanos.
Hindu Temples
Arts synthesis is reflecting Hindu Temple, ideally, beliefs in Dharma, values and the way of life cherished in the Hinduism in Balinese culture. A link amongst men, deities, and the Universe in a sacred space. Parama Sayika layout planning seen in large ceremonial Balinese Hindu Temples. It is one of many grids used to build the foundation of Hindu temples. In this symmetrical structure, each concentric layer has significance design. The lateral layer, Paisachika Pada, signifies aspects of Asura or evil; while inner Devika Pada signifies aspects of Deva and goodness. Between good and evil is the concentric layer of Manusha Pada signifying human life; all these layers surround Brahma Pada, which signifies creative energy and the site for temple’s primary idol. In the centre of Brahma Pada is Grabhgriya, signifying Universal Principle present in everything.
It is a sacred site whose design attempted to symbolical condenses to the ideal tenets of Hindu’s way of life mainly in the past period. Cosmic elements create and sustain life are present in Hindu temples - fire to water, nature images to deities, women to men, from the fleeting sounds and incense smells to the eternal nothingness yet universality at its core. Pilgrims are welcomed in four important and necessary principles of human life - the pursuit of Artha (prosperity), the pursuit of kama (pleasure), the pursuit of dharma (virtues) and the pursuit of moksha (release). But human ill-literature sometime confuse to these four important pursuits. In the centre; below and above or next to the deity, is merely hollow space without decoration, representing the Supreme Principle (Purusa), one without form, which is presently seen, connected everything, and essence of everyone. A Hindu temple is to reflect, facilitating purification of minds, and trigger the process of inner realization within the devotee. The specific process is left to the devotee’s believe. Primary deity of different Hindu temples varies to reflect this spiritual spectrum. Site Hindu Temples, the temple site should be planned in ancient Sanskrit texts: water, gardens, where lotus, flowers are blooming, where ducks swans and birds are heard, where animals can rest without fear. These harmonious places were recommended in these texts with the explanation that such are the places where gods are playing; it is the best site for Hindu temples.
Economy
The economic sources around Mt. Batur are mostly in agricultural activities from the volcanic fertile black top soils based on vegetation crops. Over 90 percent of the peoples around here live from agricultural industries. Similar to the house production system in some countries in the world, they take the harvested products from the agricultural husbandry and, merchandise to the local markets in Bali, Java and next islands. Individual business management is presently popular, that’s why they only want to get profits for themselves in a few incomes and, caused they manage their business by themselves. While the tourism industry is less than 5 percent respectively, depending on the sector. Unfortunately, the main intention causes over-expectation, this phenomenon often brings them to the negative income measurements, gambling is popular for the men entertainments. Interestingly the ordinary attitude considering the communities activities, unless morning in daily working and afternoon in behavioural gambling games. Disregarding the prime economic resources without consideration is the main human attitudes malpractice.
Agriculture
Balinese coffee, famous the world over for its delicate aroma and still an important export commodity from Kintamani mountain areas, other crops such as onion, chilli, and tomato have also stepped up since decades ago, in mountainous regions, new vegetation varieties are under intensive cultivation to supply the local and tourist consumption today. Single fishery commodity is also part of the economic gradation since years. Further outside the lateral of the caldera rim, orange and mandarins plantation is in prospective gainful development respectively around the villages nearby caldera lateral. Predominance agricultural industry is dominated by autochthonous crops such as corn, sweet potatoes etc. Rice is not grown in this area due to the volcanic-sedimentary ashes are not recommended for rice field use.
Mining
Volcanic sandy lava and black top soils (dystrandept) mining around Batur is a practical local business on one side; this mining is used to extract sand from the volcanic sediments underneath unless volcanic pumice and igneous rock are also extracted to be construction material. It is often used in manufacturing as abrasive beach reclamation, for example, to make concrete and foundation of generally building constructions. Sand mining is the main cause of erosion on the surrounding mountain areas causing dangerous for the human settlements. It also destroys agricultures; damages are a problem for people who rely on farming for their livelihoods. Removal of physical hillsides is abortive to the lives surrounding, and destruction of picturesque causes much lost. Sand mining should be regulated and enforced by laws, but it is still frequently doing by the illegal miners.
Human Settlements
The 1963 eruption of Mt. Batur produced millions of cubic meters of volcanic debris, sands and ash from Mt Batur pyroclastic lava erupted from Batur parasitic cones. Geographically, village settlements are a randomly localized place for the current communities where people live with their own families. The geospatial modelling, settlements in this village commonly tolerance, they have cooperated one with another in village’s regulation, collectivity and acceptable concepts. The village settlement or communities here, with a population ranging from thousands, remained in old heritage villages system. For example cooperatively when someone felt sick in the community, the other members of the villages are involved in gatherings for a help each other. Still alike to the past, villages formed their societies for their own communities to accommodate the subsistence and other community’s demands. They did not have been eclipsed in importance responsibility such uniting human society and settlement here to cooperate themselves.
Culture
Balinese belief and culture started when Hinduism was brought mainly from India to Indonesia about 2000 year ago and collaborate with Indonesian Hindus in Indonesia to become powerful of Hinduism and Buddhism before the Islam too over Indonesia. Bali was influenced by the Javanese Culture that is still occurring today. Hindu Kingdoms in West, Central and East Java had their great influence to Bali around 400 AD, after the time Islam came in the Hindu Kingdom in Java underwent lost in power, since time, a number of priests did migrate to Bali as the missionaries of Hindu refugees. Artists and their followers refused the new religion and escaped to Bali. They blended their belief and traditions with the local people, a blend of which is inherited by the present Balinese, the rich culture which is instead of the scenic beauty of the island, has attracted more visitors from time to time. Their stronghold religion and traditions may be the prime factor to enable them to preserve their culture from the overseas influences. The Balinese peoples today still adopted Javanese culture especially languages from old Javanese, Kawi and Sanskrit, ironically most of the old Balinese peoples even though they are descendent of Javanese migration they do not realize the language we use today is dominated from outside Bali.
Cockfighting
Cockfighting performance is the common and popular Balinese game within current and present periods, communities have frequently settled this game when temple ceremonies, cremation etc. The Balinese communities are performed cockfighting even though it is anti-thesis to religious guidance, gambling addiction eradicates all sacral tradition, and cockfighting is used to be in the ceremonial procession to succeed the ceremony in the blind perspective, but it is confused the communities, the more ceremony performed in some places the more widespread cockfighting game happening in networking communities. Cockfighting is illegally forbidden by the Indonesian regulation, but all regulation system to be disappeared after happiness and ill-advised human characters are dominantly conspire.
In the past periods, there was a tradition of sprinkling chicken blood when ceremony or building construction starts to purify the areal and avoid from the evil spirits, this game is religiously allowed only one game in one event. But after the human addiction is increasingly widespread, chicken blood sprinkle or cockfighting was reformed to be big gambling syndicate tens of years ago and provided by mostly village community’s management in an argument of financial collection for any theological developments which can confuse the communities from religious devoting to be gamblers. A negative guideline in cockfighting term of a game is one of their ways to overpower one to another; toxic oil is also a practical technical power to create faster killing one to another cock, small sharp knife with toxin will kill another very fast. Widespread cockfights and other gambling preparation are frequently running without regulation control, money can empower the ill-mannered peoples; money can confuse your eyes from bright to be blind, you can do whatever you want if you have money. Law enforcers are not clearly brain and prospect in framework regarding anti-gambling regulation implementation. The fighting stages often use village’s community house of meeting (Balai Masyarakat). Interestingly, cockfighting liked and intended by over 80 percent of the Balinese peoples in order to entertain themselves after work, both official and natural human being can be seen here collaborated amongst the cockfight gatherings.
Cock cages are seen almost in every family house in the Balinese villages, the head of a family are generally men, if temple ceremony in the village happened, cockfighting game takes places by the temple and every family has to provide at least one cock (Uuran) for fighting as the member of the community participation to the success of the ceremony. Other side Balinese village women are on their task in preparing the ceremonial offerings. In some places, kids are participating in the traditional gambling in the lower place of the temple territorial, this kind of card and other gambling are provided by individual gamble makers and liked by kids, that is why Balinese peoples are mostly gamblers because the learn to gamble since they are little kids.
Cock’s quality and power: originally Balinese cocks were good enough to fight, the fight needs longer time decades ago. Since human development is increased the time to time cross-island and even overseas cockfighting candidate are imported constantly, after Balinese chock degraded, overseas Cock ( ayam Bangkok) was inbred decades ago to select fighter candidates. After Ayam Bangkok decreased, they imported overseas cock such Philippines Cocks and Land-sea cocks confidently. The last cockfighters to Bali came from Kalimantan the neighbouring island, and Kalimantan peoples also come to Bali for cockfighting in big financial fight(URL HIDDEN)
Sunrise and Volcanic Steam
Walking up the mountain in the morning during the Eastern dawn before the sun rises can inspire your mind where and who yourself are in this chance. The caldera has various high points where views are stunning and changing varied views, multi-high points show you how spectacular this place is? The top of Mount Batur 1717 m ASL has great views with sunrise across the oriental, various hot steams are widespread both on the main and smaller craters. Lack chemical educated peoples use these steam in cooking foods such as eggs and bananas, ironically they advertise it for their promotion and utilize it to consume the steamed meals from the volcanic steams. For those who are rich in chemical and volcanic scientific knowledge, they won’t recommend you to consume anything cooked from volcanic steamed meals.
Lakeside Camping lodge is currently popular in the world tourism today, our camping ground is localized between deep old lava streams into the lake (lakeside camping), fishing and short lava trek also available here during the camping activities. Around the Lake Boating, The measurement of the lake is over 16 km2, it is great to travel around by motorboat, and we plan to settle around lake boat trip with visiting Dewi Danu Stature near Ulun Danu Temple, visiting the cemetery and the village Trunyan (Bali Age). Photographing points are widespread and surrounding the lake. Agricultural terrestrials are also varying the landscapes and stunning views.
Lion cave and Julia Robert movie Shooting Point, the Pre-wedding photograph is the main visitor’s demand particularly the local visitors, for this chance, we settle some bamboo stages on the lake surface near Lion Cave and Julia Robert shooting point, which is geologically named fellow lava. Local grilled fish restaurant in the front of pumped hot spring pool is the magnetic tourism activities include magnitude Mount Abung and Mount Batur views. Toya Bungkah, Center of Tourist Information is needed here to provide tourist activities in and outside the Batur Caldera, Tourist Information can tire up and increase holiday visitors, which affect the economical gradation in the region for short and long terms. Valid information is required by visitors in order to educate them ecological volcanic and cultural description.
