Kintamani Volcano Tour brings the wonders of the Island of the Gods, one of the most notable among which is the great Bali volcano, Mt Batur. For around 8 to 10 hours in one day, the guide patiently shows you other wonders along the route as well: Batu Bulan Village, Celuk Village, Mas Vilage, some optional places, Mt Batur itself, Tampak Siring, and Tirta Empul.
It was roomy enough in the air-conditioned SUV. The guide of this Kintamani volcano tour sat beside the driver. There’s only one person beside you in the second row of the passenger seat. The third row was occupied by three other persons, talking about the mythical and geological history of the great Bali volcano.
This Kintamani volcano tour car was stuck in a crowded street in the middle of Denpasar, the biggest city in the Island of the Gods. The guide uneasily explained that you can’t help it. The route was necessary to reach the main destination. And you and the other travellers in the car have agreed indeed that in order to see the great Bali volcano directly you will observe whatever the guide would say – as long as you can see Mt Batur.
You were listening passionately to the guide’s explanation about the crowded street. The island has changed and became a melting pot where local Balinese cultures and cultures of different localities in Indonesia met. Contradictions and conflicts often rose but the progress of the local as well as the settlers too.
The guide added the international cultures as well, which was the very reason why you didn’t see local woman with bare breast anymore – like what have been protrayed by Walter Spies in one of his famous paintings. The island indeed has changed, but the guide said there are still things that are intact amidst the big changes.
The great Bali volcano Mt Batur stands almost at the centre of the island, soaring between 1267 and 2152 meters. While it is often mentioned as one entity, it is in fact consisted of three levels of calderas. The second caldera, around 120 to 300 meters lower than the first caldera, hosts the famous Batur Lake.
The lake runs 7.5 km long and 2.5 km wide. It is considered the spring of all water ways in the entire island. Thus local people erected a temple near the lake, called Pura Ulun Danu Batur. You hear the Kintamani volcano tour guide explained that Danu means Dewi or goddess in the local language.
Below this massive body of water, lives boiling lava that constantly trying to find a way out and in doing so sending small rattles across the island. Between 1804 and 2005, the Mt Batur has erupted 26 times. The Kintamani tour guide explained that the biggest explosion occurred betwee August 2 and September 21 1926, which sent the lava down to the local village as well as its sacred temple – the temple was rebuilt not long after the the great Bali volcano has calmed down.
The comfortable SUV left the crowded streets of Denpasar and was heading toward Batu Bulan Village. You and the other travellers spent some times here watching the unique Barong and Kris dance. When the travel was continued, you see the other wonders like Celuk Village, and Mas Village – you have opted to rule out the optional places.
When travelling home from the great Bali volcano, you were tired but your mood was heightened. You still can remember vivildy the scenery of the big lake of Mt Batur. But you didn’t mind when the Kintamani volcano tour guide invited you and the other travellers to take a look at the wonderful Tampak Siring Palace and Tirta Empul.
It has been a 10-hours of real sightseeing.
