Underrated spot in Bali: Kintamani Mountain Ridge

Ever heard of Kintamani?? It’s one of the district located in the middle-north of Bali Island with the view of Mount Batur.

Kintamani is a district and some considered a village within a district, on the western edge of the larger caldera wall of the Mount Batur caldera in Bali, Indonesia. It is on the same road as Penelokan and has been used as a stopping place to view the Mount Batur region. Kintamani is also known for Pura Tuluk Biyu’s 1,000-year-old “Rites of Peace” stone tablets and the Kintamani dog breed. It is situated next to Mount Batur.

Kintamani District covers a greater land area than the city of Denpasar at 366.9 km2, and it was home to 112,463 people at the 2020 Census, but most of the area is rural, with only 7,402 people in 2010 in the administrative village of 19.45 km2 which has grown along the single main road. Altogether there are 48 villages in the district. The Kintamani district includes 19 Bali Aga villages, disseminated at the foot of mount Batur, along lake Batur and in the valleys beneath.

Kintamani district usually has cooler temperature than the rest of Bali-can reach 10 Celcius degrees during dawn, because Kintamani is situated at 1500 meters above the water level. A perfect spot to cool down when you’ve had enough of the coastal heat!
