Mt. Batur Kintamani

Bali - Die Insel der Götter und Tempel

Nach einem 2 ½ stündigen Flug von Kuala Lumpur nach Bali sind wir spät abends am Samstag in Denpasar gelandet. Das Wetter war nicht sehr einladend, es hat geregnet. Obwohl wir außerhalb der Abholzeiten ankamen bekamen wir einen Shuttle-Service zum Hotel. Ein großes Dankeschön daher an die Uni

If you are not fussed on rice fields, monkeys or temples it is best not to read on as Bali is full of all of these(as you will soon find out).

To start off the travel blog I must admit that I am actually writing this in KL about 2weeks late, I will try to remember what has happened as since landing in Bali until now it has really been a …

Today started with a rather unpleasant pick up from our hotel at 2am! Yes that's right 2am!!! I didn’t know this time existed when you were sober! :-)

Today we were on our way to trek an active volcano known as Gunung Batur. Now for a bit of trivia; Gunung Batur is described as a 'double caldra’ which means one crater inside …

I love Bali Island!! I think it's my favorite place for a holiday: 2 weeks won't be long enough. It has everything- beauty everywhere, man made and natural! Gorgeous, soft beaches & lush forests! Amazing, happy people! Touristy enough that you never feel "out of place" yet full of rich, unique culture. Quiet places & loud, fun places. Dirt …

Mount Batur (Gunung Batur) is an active volcano located at the center of two concentric calderas north west of Mount Agung, Bali, Indonesia. The south east side of the larger 10×13 km caldera contains a caldera lake. The inner 7.5-kilometer-wide caldera, which was formed during emplacement of the Bali (or Ubud) ignimbrite, has been dated at about …

Aujourd'hui nous nous sommes réveillés à environ 7h du matin. Nous avons préparé nos choses et nous avons quitté pour notre tour de Bali avec notre guide, Nyoman. Notre premier arrêt était le Sahadewa Barong & Kris Dance, des danses culturels et des petites pièces de théâtres. Les danses étaient très intéressantes, et les costumes étaient …

We were up with the cockerels this morning to join Bali Eco cycling tour for a day of seeing the 'real' Bali...and we weren't disappointed - what a BRILLIANT DAY! Our day started with a pick-up from our homestay before being whisked up Penelokan (Kintamani) for breakfast overlooking the smouldering volcano of mt Batur and the crater lake. Simply …

Arriving in Denpasar Airport in Bali was quite a shock after westernized Singapore. Right off the bat, before we had even left the airport, we fell victim to yet another scam. This time it was baggage porters dressed like customs officials. Our hotel was in Kuta Beach, where we learned you should never try to drive anywhere near Kuta! The biggest …

I had booked a day tour with Bali Halal Tours. The villa had a driver and vehicle which I can use (and of course pay) for tours, but since it was pretty difficult to find halal food in Bali, I thought I better stick to one which specialises in Muslim visitors. So it was with a heavy heart that I told the nice driver who had driven us yesterday that …

We had a food stop here. We ate buffet at this place designed to be for foreigner. The food was OK, but overpriced. After we ate, Mt. Batur was totally fogged up already so we couldn't take pictures. We didn't even get to peek at Lake Batur at all. We ...

I went on a tour that brought me back towards Mt. Batur.  The couple I went hiking with had already gone on this tour, and didn't feel I would be seeing the same things again.  I was happy I went.  In the morning, we saw a The Barong Kris ...
