Mount Tapak (1909 masl) is an inactive volcano that, although no longer erupting, still has an active magma pathway that produces geothermal heat and hot springs scattered in the southern caldera wall area, especially in the Angseri region. As the seventh highest peak in Bali, this mountain is relatively easier to climb than Mount Pohen which is just a few kilometers to the south.
Mount Tapak is mentioned in ancient manuscripts in Bali, especially the Purana Bangsul Text which states that one of the important sacred places in the Beratan area in the past was the Terate Bang (Red Lotus) in Mount Tapak. Even now, the Terate Bang temple still stands at the foot of this mountain, as well as is the northern boundary of the Bali Botanical Garden. Because it is mixed with sulfur, the taste of holy water from the spring in this temple is a bit sour which makes it unique.
The word 'tapak' means flat because the top of this mountain is relatively flat. The geothermal project which was finally stopped a few decades ago is not far from this mountain and takes geothermal heat from the magma chamber of this mountain.
Mount Tapak is one of the youngest mountains to form in the Beratan Caldera. The oldest volcanoes in the caldera are Mount Sanghyang and Mount Pohen which have been inactive for thousands of years. +

He built residential studios and invited top artists to come live and work there. But soon he found that visitors to Bali wanted to stay there, too. Before long, he upgraded the studios to create a small hotel, Komaneka at Monkey Forest, in a tropical garden with an infinity swimming pool.
Meanwhile Komaneka Fine Art Gallery thrived, and it is still one of the most important art galleries in Bali. The gallery is a large, handsome two-story building set back from the busy Monkey Forest Road in central Ubud.
