Besides beaches, watching the sunrise can also be enjoyed in the mountains. One of the best places to experience a breathtaking sunrise is Pinggan Village. Pinggan Village is located in Kintamani District, Bangli Regency. Situated approximately 2.5 hours from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, this location offers a unique sunrise experience.
Pinggan Village is one of the highland villages in Kintamani, located at an altitude of around 1,300 meters above sea level. From here, visitors can witness the sunrise over the village below, often covered in a thin layer of mist, complemented by panoramic views of Mount Batur, Mount Abang, Mount Agung, and Mount Rinjani.
When planning a visit to Pinggan Village, it is advisable to make proper preparations, as the village is located in a high-altitude area with temperatures dropping to around 18°C. Visitors are recommended to wear a warm jacket and head covering to protect themselves from the cold air. For those who wish to relax longer and explore other areas around Pinggan Village and Mount Batur, staying overnight in the Kintamani tourism area is an option. Alternatively, visitors can enjoy camping at the designated camping grounds in Pinggan Village, waiting for the sunrise while enjoying the warmth of a campfire in front of the tent.
