Soaking it up in Bali
Visitors to Bali can now take the plunge in the sulphuric waters of Mt. Batur’s volcanic lake, 80km from capital Denpasar.
Widely believed to posses healing and restorative powers, the hot springs of Toyabungkah offer small inns, bathing pools and changing facilities for visitors who want to test the 38-39 degrees Celsius volcanic waters.
Locals say the waters are able to cure a range of health problems, including skin ailments.
Another option is to embark on a before-dawn climb of Mt. Batur to view the morning’s sunrise and then visit the hot springs and the mountain’s base on the lakeshore.
The cost of admission to the hot springs managed by the local community is Rp. 50,000 (US$5.70) for domestic tourists and Rp. 100,000 (US$11.40) for overseas visitors.
