Belulang Hot Spring

Belulang Hot Spring in the Tabanan Regency of Bali, in the highland area between Mount Batukaru and the Jatiluwih rice terraces (a UNESCO World Heritage landscape), is a sulfurous volcanic spring set in a green highland environment that reflects the geothermal character of Bali's volcanic arc, whose hot springs, fumaroles, and crater lakes punctuate the island's interior mountain landscape. The Jatiluwih rice terraces, a living testimony to Bali's extraordinary subak irrigation culture — a UNESCO-recognised system of water management inseparable from Balinese Hindu cosmology — lie within the same highland zone, connecting Belulang's thermal resources with one of Bali's most celebrated cultural landscapes. The sulfurous waters are used for bathing by local Balinese communities in a setting that feels genuinely undiscovered compared to the more touristically developed thermal sites of northern Bali.
