How did the Mount Batur natural hot springs come about?

Volcanic formation: Mount Batur is an active volcano located in Bali, Indonesia. The area is characterized by geothermal activity, where underground magma heats water reservoirs deep within the Earth's crust.
Geothermal heating: As magma rises towards the surface, it heats groundwater, creating pockets of hot water springs. This process, known as geothermal heating, occurs over thousands of years and is a natural phenomenon in volcanic areas.
Mineral enrichment: The water in Mount Batur's hot springs is enriched with minerals such as sulfur, calcium, and magnesium. These minerals dissolve from the surrounding volcanic rocks, giving the water its therapeutic properties.
Emergence to the surface: Over time, the pressurized hot water finds pathways to the surface, where it emerges as hot springs. These springs can vary in temperature and mineral composition depending on their depth and proximity to the volcanic activity.
Natural retreats: The hot springs at Mount Batur have long been recognized for their soothing and healing properties. They attract visitors seeking relaxation, wellness, and a connection to nature's geothermal wonders.

Before you go to Mount Batur’s natural hot springs

Typically, the hot springs are open to the public at about 7 am and close by 7 pm. While this has been the general norm, check before you go depending on which of the hot springs in Kintamani you’re visiting.

Right after your trek! A true decompression. The springs are open year round, but needless to say that the winter months (December and January) after a trek would be making the most of it. That said, generally between 9 am and 10 am, it can get a little crowded, so earlier than that or post 11 am would be ideal if you want to experience some quiet.

Most hot springs come with changing rooms, but they’re not always separated by gender (depending on where you’re going)
Accessibility would depend on the hot springs you visit, so make sure to check before you go
Parking is generally available at all the hot springs
Most hot spring complexes offer food as well

Carry an extra pair of clothes, lots of sunscreen and a towel! Flip flops would be a bonus, so you can navigate the wet paths around the pools.
