Mount Batur, Active volcano in Kintamani highlands, Indonesia
Mount Batur rises 1,717 meters above sea level, featuring a double caldera structure with a crater lake on its southeastern section.
The volcano's formation resulted from two major collapses of the magma chamber, with the first occurring 29,300 years ago and the second 20,150 years ago.
The mountain holds sacred status among four principal mountains in Bali, with local temples serving as spiritual guardians of the volcanic territory.
Trekkers begin their ascent at 4 AM, completing a 3-kilometer path with 500 meters elevation gain to reach the summit before sunrise.
Visitors at the summit prepare meals using natural heat from volcanic steam vents, which maintain temperatures suitable for cooking eggs.
