Detailed descritpion of our half day Mount Batur Volcano Sunrise Trek

Feeling like the beaches, party life or shopping in Bali has taken too much toll on you during your holiday? Search no further; set your alarm clock for the wee hours, gear up and brace yourself for a volcanic sunrise trekking adventure!

Indonesia is laden with volcanoes spanning its territory and Bali is not spared from sitting on this formidable “ring of fire”. Rising to 1717 meters above sea level Mount Batur represents the island’s iconic active volcano with more than 20 eruptions recorded over the course of last 2 centuries. On the East portion of Mount Batur’s gigantic crater is the largest reservoir on Bali.

Your 2 hour long night hike will start with safety briefing conducted by from your experienced local guide. The trail starts out flat with sand and gravel that turns steep and stony later. To help you navigate, you will use the light from headlamps or torches and the moon. Upon crossing the final ridge you take a rest with cups of hot tea or coffee as the prelude to the impending sunrise, while the main summit looms not far behind. After the faint distant glow, the sun will gradually scale over the horizon, emitting the blaze of glorious rays transforming the sky with hues of red, purple, lavender, orange to yellow; a stunning show.

In the cool air of the morning you can enjoy a stroll around Mount Batur’s crater, a rocky hollow and fuming pit, which provides the volcanic steam to boil your eggs for breakfast. This uniquely cooked meal is enjoyed overlooked by clusters of squawking monkeys that dwell around the upper volcano. Making your way slowly down nature unfolds itself in sunlight through the charming Lake Batur, the massive crater rim and the dramatic lava fields and rural surroundings. Finally a soak in the hot springs of Toya Bungkah will relieve any aching muscles.
