The river’s name means ‘steel pond’ in Balinese – a steady flow of red-hot lava resembling molten steel flowed during Mount Agung’s past eruptions. The solidified volcanic emissions transformed into an assortment of magnificent boulders now scattered over the paddies and riverbeds. The river’s a 2-hour transfer from Kuta and winds through the hilly landscape of the Karangasem regency.
