Lake Batur, Volcanic crater lake at Mount Batur, Bali, Indonesia
Lake Batur extends across a volcanic basin at 1,033 meters elevation, forming the largest water body in the Kintamani region of northern Bali.
The formation of Lake Batur occurred through volcanic activity thousands of years ago, with the most recent significant eruption recorded in 2000.
The lake functions as a central element in the Subak irrigation system, demonstrating the traditional water management practices of Balinese agriculture.
Visitors can reach Lake Batur through organized tours from major Bali towns, with early morning departures recommended for sunrise viewing and photography.
The waters of Lake Batur support local fishing communities while providing irrigation to multiple traditional rice terraces across the surrounding volcanic terrain.
