Gunung Batukaru is the dormant Bedugul volcanic region’s highest peak at 2,276 metres. Flanked by dense tropics, hiking trails with panoramic views of rice terraces, and freshwater streams, Batukaru has a large crater, Bali’s largest, open at the southern end, allowing the Mawa River to escape. On the summit, Pura Luhur Batukaru is a Hindu temple dedicated to the mountain.
