By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
The view of Mount and Lake Batur from Kintamani is worth the ride from Kuta. It's a long trip, so pick the right route and leave early. Here's how.
Two route options
| Route | Via | Approx. time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Denpasar → Batubulan → Ubud → Tegallalang → Kintamani | ± 2.5 hours | Rice-field and café stops |
| B | IB Mantra bypass → Gianyar → Bangli → Kintamani | ± 2 hours | Faster and smoother |
Times are estimates. After Tegallalang or Bangli the road keeps climbing.
Riding tips
- Leave at 6–7 am to arrive while the view is clear.
- Fill up in Ubud or Bangli.
- Bring a jacket and raincoat; mist often rolls in from midday.
- Alternate brakes on the way down — read climbs and descents.
Return a different way to see more: go up via Ubud, come down via Bangli and Penglipuran.
