Penelokan is located in Kedisan, one of the villages in the district Kintamani. From Penelokan we can see amazing views. a combination of Mount Batur along with a stretch of black rocks with Lake Batur which is in the shape of a blue crescent moon in a caldera which tourists say is the most beautiful caldera in the world.

From Penelokan we have two alternatives to continue the journey in Kintamani. first we can continue north towards Batur Village. In this village we can visit one of the heavenly temples in Bali called Pura Batur. 

This temple was originally located in the southwest of Mount Batur which was later moved along with the moving of the villagers to the top. 

The second alternative is we can go down to the center of Kedisan Village to then cross across the lake to an old village called Terunyan. In Terunyan Village, we can see an ancient Balinese civilization called Bali Aga. in this village people who have died are not buried but just put under a tree. These corpses didn't smell at all.
