The west of Bali is more than just a stunning coastline and fabulous sunsets. Venture inland and discover an untouched, wilder side of Bali where nature dominates and villages as old as the island itself still exist. Located in this part of Bali is Mount Batukaru, an extinct volcano and the island’s second highest mountain, home to a unique and exotic landscape.
Exploration does not get better than travel in a vintage Volkswagen car. The classic Kübelwagen enables access along small roads and exploration of picturesque villages off the established tourist trail. Even better, the cover can be retracted to provide a 360-degree view of sprawling rice paddies, smouldering active volcanoes and quaint villages.
