Mount Batur on Bali, Indonesia, is an awe-inspiring natural wonder and one of the island’s most popular destinations. Standing at 1,717 meters, this active volcano offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Lake Batur and expansive lava fields. Sunrise hikes are especially popular, where visitors can climb to the summit and witness the first rays of sunlight over the stunning landscape. Mount Batur is also considered a sacred place by the Balinese people, who hold it in high spiritual regard. This NFT features a stunning image of Mount Batur, capturing its majestic beauty and spiritual aura.
Batur is an active stratovolcano with a height of around 1700 m and lies in the center of two concentric calderas in Bangli County on the Indonesian island of Bali. We had stayed overnight in a small guesthouse in Penelokan and descended into the caldera the next morning. After a long hike to the foot of the volcanic cone, the subsequent climb to the volcanic cone offered magnificent views. Halfway there we were joined by an Indonesian woman who managed the steep passages with a vessel on her head - we were impressed.
