Two Great Spots to Enjoy the Charm of Mount and Lake Batur If you are looking for an exotic and tranquil rural attraction in Bali, there are two things that you can do: the first is finding the best hotel in Ubud online and the second is going northward to take pleasure in the majestic view of Mount and Lake Batur and its serene atmosphere.

The lush rice fields in Ubud, especially the famous rice terrace at nearby Tegalalang, and all accommodations and attractions that you can find there are simply irresistible. If you go northward, the charm of Mouth and Lake Batur that you can enjoy after an exciting trek will be one of the most satisfying experiences that you can have in Bali.

Patung Dewi Danu yang dibangun di hulu Danau Batur, Desa Songan, Kecamatan Kintamani, Bangli, ditetapkan sebagai Patung Dewi Danu terbesar dan tertinggi di Indonesia oleh Museum Rekor-Dunia Indonesia (MURI).
