BALI: MT AGUNG - LAKE BATUR - TANAH LOH



This is Mount Agung... 3000m high it is usually hard to see as it gets always sorrounded by clouds. It is an active volcano, its last eruption was back in 1964, with nearly 1,000 casualties and several villages destroyed. Besakih temple was not destroyed and it is at 1100m high. This is cinsidered a sign from the Gods. Besakih is the trailhead for the hike to the summit. Definetely a must do on my next trip to Bali.


Having lunch at Lake Batur, with mount Batur at the back, a smaller volcano... also a hike I´d like to do. Angel wanted a picture with all the staff! We ate well, except Jordi, who did not eat a thing.



Rice Terraces... a common view in interior Bali...


Tanah Loh Temple, at sunset....

and Ahmed beach, which we did not have time to see...
