Batur Natural Hot Spring Water is sited in the slop of Batur Mountain precisely at Toya Bungkah Village, Sub-district of Kintamani, Bangli Regency, Bali-Indonesia. It is only about a two-hour drive from the tourist hub of Kuta or just about half an hour from the capital town of Bangli regency.
Pool by the Lake
Batur Natural Hot Spring Water offers tourists to engage with purely hot water springing from the earth which collected in three major pools located within the site of Batur Natural Hot Spring Water which totally about 1000 metre squares.
Tourists can swim for hours in the hot pools. One is located in the main entrance near by ticket counter; while the other ones located right on the bank of Batur Lake where tourist can also see spectacular view of Lake Batur and the traditional village called Trunyan which widely recognised as the native of Balinese whose citizen practising different way of life compared to most of Balinese people residing in the remaining island of Bali.
A number of facilities have been established to support the operational of the Batur Natural Hot Spring Water including restaurant, snack bar, pavilions, toilets, changing room and public shower where visitors can wash up their body after having “hot bath”.
Tourists swimming in the main pool
Batur Natural Hot Spring Water is managed by the local Traditional Village. It employed hundreds of local people occupying all positions ranging from basic to managerial positions which allow the ordinary citizens gaining economic benefits of tourism developed in their regions. This is the best practice for community based tourism in Bali where 100% of thier employees are recruited from local people.

The Managing Director of Batur Natural Hot Sring Water argues that the real application of community-based tourism concept at this particular tourism site does not only aid the government to solve unemployement problem, but also aims at reducing the number of migration from the village to the cities where most work oppurtunies available.
More importantly, the involment of the locals at Batur Hot Spring Water is encourage local people to love thier village by staying in thier home and still able to practise the traditional activities bond to local people in the region.

Enterance Ticket: It costs only IDR 150 000 per person for adult foreign tourists to enjoy this natural hot spring water. Children will be offered discount for 50%. In addition, Indonesian visitors shall be charge of IDR 60 000 per person. Meanwhile, local people of Batur (Toya Bungkah, Songan villages ) are free of charge.
This pricing policy is applied to offer sense of equitability among the interest parties. Local people really need to be free from enterance ticket as they are the "owners" of the site.
Domestic tourists including Balinese should contribute to the development of Batur Hot Spring Water by paying a little amount of money to enjoy this natural attraction.
The foreign tourist should pay more as they are having higher travel budget than the locals and this could be served as the way the international tourists do to help any people in the globe as the real and best practice for "responsible tourist" contributing to local economic development as well as tourism site preservation. Of course, international tourists will have better service such as welcoming drink, gazebo, etc.
Domestic and international tourists enjoying "hot" pool
Tourists who look for hot spring water in Bali are really recommended to visit Batur Natural Hot Spring Water which is also known as the only one healing hot sring water in Bali. Tourists will experience such a great and memorable travel memory on this paradise island.
I have been to this Hot Spring Water more than 5 times with family, freinds and students. I just love the site as it is very natural and affordable.
