Kintamani is a highland area in the north of East Bali.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Well presented exhibits here include explanations of the pacific ring of fire and Indonesia's position within that, local vulcanology and the history of eruptions of Mount Batur, volcanic rocks collected locally, films and computer animations explaining why volcanoes erupt and a telescope to view the mountain. Definitely worth a visit.
Soak in these hot springs right by the lake side in the village of Toya Bungkah. Very relaxing, and a great way to warm up on the frequent chilly days up here.
Something of an institution in Toya Bungkah, and popular with budget travellers. Located next door to the trekking guide association office. You can chose whether you want hot water or not (costs extra), and the rooms have nice verandas with lake views.
New bungalow directly at the foot of Batur volcano. Spacious and clean rooms with views of the Batur. A 15-minute walk to Lake Batur and hot springs in Toya Bungkah village.
Few overseas visitors ever stay on the Caldera Ridge Road but if you decide to, this is the nicest of the bunch of hotels there. Amazing views, but a strange almost fortress-like design.
Balinese Hut. Not very well maintained.
Located a little to the north of the other places to stay in Toya Bungkah. The more expensive rooms have hot water, and there is a communal hot spring-fed jacuzzi.
A variety of rooms here, most with hot water and even some with TVs (local channel only). Decent restaurant, internet available, nice views of the lake, and a good source of reliable trekking guides. Ask to see one of their new rooms as they are slowly renovating.
By bus or bemo
There are daily shuttle bus services from Ubud which are widely advertised locally there. Book 24 hours in advance.
Not too many visitors choose to stay in this area, but instead view the local sites by car or motorbike in the course of a day.
