Kintamani isn’t usually on the typical Bali itinerary. Most travelers come here just to hike Mount Batur, but very few stay longer to experience everything this region has to offer.

Unlike other parts of Bali, mass tourism has not yet reached Kintamani (and hopefully it never will). That’s precisely why spending even a couple of days in Kintamani is so rewarding—you’ll enjoy breathtaking, untouched nature without the crowds.

And it’s not only about Mount Batur. At its base lies the dreamy Lake Batur, while Mount Agung towers in the distance, often hidden among the highest clouds.

You’ll also find traditional villages where daily life feels authentic—and where calling a Grab bike isn’t really an option.

Kintamani perfectly blends adventure and relaxation. One moment you can be riding an ATV across endless black lava fields, and the next you’re soaking in natural hot springs with a volcano view. It’s all up to you.

Here, you’ll find blog posts to help you plan your own Kintamani trip and discover this magical corner of North Bali, far from the usual crowds.
