Kintamani is the most favorite tourist destinations in Bali with the active volcano of mount Batur and beautiful lake. We were told by our tourist guide Madhey that Kintamani which was famous for its captivating atmosphere were surrounded with six ancient villages around cauldron of Batur Lake. The local people hailing from these Bali Age villages preserves the unique culture and life style of Bali till today. The Balinese heritage is something to be admired and treasured. A beautiful culture that keeps me and my hubby, Raj fascinated to listen more about the distinct cultural practices that our tourist guide narrates from time to time.
Kintamani is located at the north of the Bali Island. Madhey drove us up all the way to view the volcano Mount Batur while relishing our lunch treat in one of the restaurant named 'Grand Puncak Sari'.
The Grand Puncak Sari Restaurant is located about 700 meters from the entrance of Kintamani. The beauty of the restaurant lies in the dining concept which offers open air atmosphere as well as closed ambiance sitting. The lunch was a buffet style whereby I and Raj enjoyed it while admiring the panorama of Mount Batur volcano. We didn’t get the open air sitting facing the landscape so we decided to battle with fork and spoons inside the restaurant. However, we grabbed a cup of freshly brewed Balinese coffee and dash out to the open area to catch a glimpse of the scenic. Indeed it has magnificent view of Mount Batur undeniably. Awesome!

It was one of the little blessings that I experienced together with my love of life. Hot and rich aroma of coffee ignites my senses and tantalizes my feelings of serenity for a moment. I must say the Balinese Coffee gets thumbs up for its exotic taste. The weather at Kintamani is cool with temperature about 23°C. The chilly breeze gave a refreshed spirit for us both to embark on our next journey. Indeed I could barely walk away from that place. It took my breath away.

I can imagine how nice if we put a night at the hotel here. Besides savoring in the cool atmosphere at night, there must be other exciting activity to look out for. I and Raj captured few shots of the gorgeous Mount Batur and Lake Batur while still fixated with lingering thoughts and view of the volcano. We were still eager to find better view of the volcano and Madhey took us to another point to get few snapshots of it. This time, we were close to the lake somehow and we could see villages bordered the area.We both told ourselves that we should return to this place someday. A beautiful magnum opus of God.
