Overview
Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking offers a chance to experience Bali's most breathtaking views. Picture standing on an active volcano as the sun rises, casting a golden glow over the island — an adventure that combines stunning natural beauty, the excitement of a volcanic hike, and a deep sense of achievement.
Located in Bali's Kintamani region, Mount Batur (Gunung Batur) is a revered volcanic peak, rising 1,717 meters (5,633 feet) above sea level. It is known for providing one of the most spectacular sunrise panoramas in Bali. The trek isn’t just about reaching the summit; it’s about immersing yourself in the peaceful pre-dawn darkness, connecting with fellow trekkers, and witnessing the remarkable scenery at the top.
This trek is accessible for all levels of hikers, from experienced trekkers to beginners eager for a challenge. With the right guide and preparation, even those new to trekking can safely enjoy this adventure.
The hike begins early in the morning, with pick-ups around 2:00 a.m. from popular areas like Ubud, Kuta, or Seminyak. The drive takes you through serene villages and picturesque rice fields, all while the mountain air refreshes you and stars twinkle above.
Once at the starting point, your guide will equip you with necessary tools, like flashlights or headlamps, and go over safety precautions. Wearing proper hiking shoes with good traction is essential for a smooth climb over rocky terrain.
The journey starts in the dark, with the path winding through forests and volcanic rocks under the glow of your flashlight. The cool morning air adds to the peaceful, almost meditative feeling of the hike.
As the trek continues, the path becomes steeper and rougher. It's important to take it slow, pausing for rest when needed. Your guide will ensure the group moves at a comfortable pace, offering help when necessary.
Mount Batur sunrise trekking is more than just a hike — it's a chance to discover, challenge yourself, and marvel at nature’s wonders. Whether you’re an experienced trekker or a beginner, this unforgettable experience will give you lasting memories of Bali’s stunning landscapes. So, pack your gear, set your alarm early, and prepare to witness one of the most magical sunrises you’ll ever see.

I recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Bali, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Pisan Bali Tour (Sandhya Artha) for curating such an incredible experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was flawlessly organized, and every recommendation was spot-on. One of the highlights was the early morning trek to Mount Batur for sunrise. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and witnessing the sun rise over the volcanic landscape is an experience I will never forget. Our adventure continued with a visit to the Black Lava Mountain, which felt like stepping onto another planet. We also had the thrill of experiencing the iconic Bali Swing—an exhilarating and surreal moment. The photo shoot that followed perfectly captured the beauty of the island, and the flying board experience was an absolute must-do for anyone seeking an adrenaline rush, as we hovered above the water with pure excitement. The ATV ride through Bali's stunning terrain was an absolute blast, and the rice terraces were as magical as they are picturesque. We also visited several awe-inspiring waterfalls and temples that showcased Bali's rich culture and natural beauty. A special shoutout goes to our amazing drivers, Madia and Kedak. Their friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful suggestions made our trip even more special. Madia and Kedak recommended Uluwatu Temple, where we were able to experience the mesmerizing Kecak Dance at sunset—a perfect way to end our Bali adventure. Overall, this trip was impeccably planned, and the memories we made are ones we will cherish forever. I highly recommend Pisan Bali Tour to anyone looking for a well-rounded, seamless, and unforgettable Bali experience!
