The volcanic cone of Gunung Batur and the lake, which fills half of the surrounding caldera, form one of Bali's most spectacular landscapes. Climbing Batur (1717m/5631ft) to see the sunrise is a magnificent experience, but be prepared for damp, cold and cloudy conditions and some aggressive souvenir sellers. Gunung Batur is in northern Bali, approximately 35km (22mi) north of Ubud.
