Looking for places to go in Bali without all the tourists? An hours drive from Ubud, set on a big lake with two volcanoes either side, you’ll find tranquil and beautiful Kintamani. It’s got the serene nature and beauty you’d expect, but rarely find, in Ubud. 

Drive here by scooter, rental car or private driver. The journey is about 1-1.5 hours from the airport & popular towns in the south of Bali. Don’t take a taxi as transport is quite limited here, so you’ll need your own wheels. 

What to do 
• Climb Mount Batur or the lesser climbed Mt Agung, or do the easier Batur Crater
• Drive to Pinggan Village. This stunning scenic area is a lovely spot to watch sunrise. 
• Head to the coffee shops overlooking Mount Batur. akasa_specialtycoffee and montanacafebali have epic views
• Head to Pura Segara Ulun, which is a temple on Lake Batur which you can visit by crossing a small bridge.
• Toya Bungkah Hot Spring is popular here but unlike many other sites, this is on many tour group itineraries so it can get really busy. Go here during 12-2 when the tours are at lunch. It’s less of a recommendation and more of a suggestion
• Canoe on Lake Batur 
• Hire a Jeep to ride over the lava fields 
• Rent a scooter or even just a mountain bike to explore the area. This is one of my favorite parts of Bali to ride around, you’ll see epic views of rice fields and the lakes. Stop of cheap great local food, and likely meet a lot of cute dogs. (Just don’t come home with one like we did!😂)

Who’s this area for?
If you want to see local life in Bali, and get away from the touristy spots without being too isolated - this is perfect. It’s got a bit of tourism due to Mount Batur, but most tourists come and go in just a few hours so the area is empty in the afternoon. 

There is no nightlife here, you eat and sleep early & rise early which I love! It’s also perfect for those who like to stay active when they travel. 

It’s one of my fave areas! Drop any questions below if you want to go!

Tomorrow I’ll share a little island off Bali that not many people go to!👀
