Bali’s most dramatic drive runs the rim of the Mount Batur caldera at ~1,500 m, where a single crest reveals an active volcanic cone, a crater lake and black lava fields in one panorama.
Climbing north from Ubud to Penelokan, the main caldera viewpoint, the rim road continues through Batur village and Kintamani with the volcano brooding across the crater at every turn. It can continue north to Singaraja or loop south via Bedugul for a full scenic circuit.
