The experience
The trek starts in the dark at 3:30 am with a professional guide who knows the volcano's terrain and history. You'll climb with a flashlight and walking stick, the sky full of stars overhead, until you reach the summit just as the sun rises over Mount Abang to the east. On a clear day, Mount Rinjani in Lombok is visible across the water. The guide shares stories about the volcano, the mountains and the local communities living around Mount Batur while you take in the view.
After descending, you'll head to the natural hot spring in the Kintamani area. The warm mineral water is the payoff for the climb: a place to soak sore muscles for about two hours and let the heat ease what the hike demands. Breakfast arrives partway through the morning: banana or egg sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit and chocolate, plus coffee or tea. An air-conditioned vehicle handles the pickup from your hotel and the drive to both the trailhead and the hot spring, so you don't arrange transport yourself.
Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to see the Mount Batur sunrise with a guide who knows the volcano's geology and local history, and you're willing to start before dawn. The early departure is what gets you to the summit in time for the sunrise and lets you spend the morning soaking in the hot spring afterward.
