Mount Batur is one of famous tourist destination in Bali. Trekking will be the main activities here. The mount Batur trek is not that difficult, but it’s quite challenging, especially if you plan to try mount Batur solo trek. This is absolutely a great option, for you who want some adventure. However, just like when you hike other mountains, you also need to make a good preparation before tackling Mount Batur trekking route.
Here is what you need to do:
Find Out about Mount Batur Trekking
Firstly, find the mountain you are going to challenge. In this case, you need to know more about Mount Batur. You can find it on the internet. But, if we have to simplify the information, the mount Batur height is 1717 meters (5,633 feet) above the sea level. And the route for mount Batur solo trekking is around 11 km (up and down) from the foot of the mountain to the peak. Make an adequate physical and mental preparation before solo challenging it.
The trekking route is physically challenging. However, it is not a difficult trek that requires enough knowledge about finding the route. The route has been provided by the local and tourism organization. So, you just need to follow that route. Of course, find more about what you need to do on that trekking route is important. This is also the reason why trekking review will become your best friend.
The mount Batur trekking review will help you to understand the situation from the solo trekker point of view. You can use their experience during your solo trekking. It proved to be really helpful information that can keep you away from the problem, either the nature problem or problem with locals.
The Trekking Outfit
This is actually the most important thing that you need to prepare. Correct trekking outfit will help you a lot. It won’t only make you comfortable. But, it also protects you from many problems in the mountain, from weather to bump, if any.
There are two types of outfit you need to prepare or wear for trekking at Mount Batur. Wearing jacket or even winter outfit sometimes is necessary, especially if you also want to try mount Batur sunrise trekking Ubud. The temperature on the trekking route and peak of the mountain can reach below 14 degrees Celsius (57.2 F).
However, after the sunrise, the temperature will rise significantly. This is the reason why you should bring two types of clothes, clothes for protection from cold weather and comfortable clothes to hike in warm/hot weather. If you hike when the mount Batur weather is bad, the situation can become even worst. So, the hiking outfit is what you need to prepare first before starting your hike.
Hiking shoes are also important. The trekking route in Mount Batur isn’t too difficult. But, when you reach the base of the crater or about 20 minutes of hiking time before the peak, the trek becomes much more difficult. A good hiking shoe will help you a lot in this part.
The Hiking Equipment
You don’t need trekking pole for mount Batur solo trek. But, you still need flashlight or headlamp, if it’s necessary. Snack and water is also a must, for all hiking. For solo trekking, you need to get all of these equipment before you start your hiking. There is a village at the foot of Mount Batur. You can buy everything that you need at there.
However, if you use guide or purchase trekking package, everything that you need will be provided by the trekking company that you hire. The guide and porter will carry all of them for you to the peak of the mountain. So, you also can reduce the weight you must carry to the top. It is more comfortable this way, actually. But, if you want to have a solo adventure, you can see the extra weight you are carrying as the part of your adventure.
Camera
Are you leaving just for hiking? That’s not a wise decision. You can’t miss the beautiful scenery during your mount Batur sunrise trek without guide moment as well as when you reach the top. So, the camera is a-must-to-bring equipment. You can bring a simple camera, such as a digital camera, or a Smartphone with a high-resolution camera. If you have enough space, bring digital SLR camera for a better result.
GoPro camera is also a great choice because it can give you a better view than a standard camera. However, don’t bother to bring a tripod. It will only give you a problem. Unless you are a professional who wants to capture the best picture of Mount Batur and its scenery, a tripod is a must.

An epic hike up a dormant volcano
An unforgettable adventure hiking up a dormant volcano, where the sunrise will take your breath away! This is truly one of the most awe-inspiring sunrises you'll ever witness. There’s a shimmering lake, with hundreds of rice paddies sparkling as the sunlight streams in. It's a magical experience perfect for couples seeking romance or a group looking to share an extraordinary moment.

Alba con la Jeep + black sand + terme + piantagione di caffè
In perfetto orario (ore 3) il nostro bravissimo driver ci ha prelevato dal nostro hotel a canggu e ci siamo diretti verso il monte batur. Li ci atteneva la nostra guida/pilota di jeep Gooddai che ci ha portato sul monte batur per vedere l’alba. Colazione con the dolci e uova. Oltre che autista, è stato un fotografo incredibile : ci ha fatto alcuni scatti davvero stupendi ! Dopo il sorgere del sole ci ha portati con la jeep sulle dune di sabbia nera e da lì al parcheggio dove il driver ci ha portato alle sorgenti termali ed ad una piantagione di caffè. Drop off al nostro hotel ad ubud ! Tutto perfetto! Grazie mille!

A hike of a lifetime
The sunrise trek exceeded all expectations - it was spectacular to see the first breaks of light of the sun as we climbed higher and higher. We saw the sun come up as we reached the summit and it was incredible! We went as a family with three kids, aged 7 and 10. Our kids have done many hikes but we weren’t sure how this would go so we opted for the jeep/trek combo. The trek itself was challenging - the first half is gravel, lava rocks and sand with steep inclines - but our guide, Adi was amazing and encouraged and motivated us. One of our kids needed extra cheering on, and Adi helped us boost her so she felt like a true mountain girl when she reached the top. There were lots of places to stop and rest and Adi provided headlamps, trekking poles and lots of water. He really looked after us and we are so grateful to have had him as our guide. At the top, we could take in the beautiful scenery and watch the sun come up over the crater lake. Adi brought us coffee and hot chocolate along with sandwiches, chocolates, fruit and boiled eggs. After our hike down, we took the jeeps back to the parking lot where we took a short ride to the hot springs. The water slides were a bonus for the kids! The whole experience was so memorable - we are so happy we did it! We absolutely would recommend this adventure with this outfit.

Amazing views, amazing guide, amazing memories
The 1:30 taxi pickup filled us with dread, but the minute we began walking we realised how special this morning would be. We seamlessly were connected to our guide Jata and began walking through the forest. Although one of us was scared of potential bugs, there were thankfully none to be seen on the path, none at all! We kept following the trail of head torches up to the top where we stopped after around 2 hours (about 5 o’clock) in the best seats in the house. Tip: bring a hoody/fleese we were freezing in T-shirts! During and after the spectacular sunrise our guide took some amazing photos on our phones we were blown away. He cooked a breakfast of eggs and banana sandwiches and took us into the steaming volcano, then we began our descent back down. This was when we were able to talk to our guide more and find out more about what life was like living in rural Bali, and he was really knowledgable about the local wildlife and area. We got back to the car, exchanged details with Jata and travelled the long journey back to Nusa Dua with an amazing story to tell our family and friends. I could not recommend this morning for able-bodied travellers enough: perfect!!!

Must do trip in Bali
Trekking was such a great experience. Difficult hike however there were options for if you couldn’t make it all the way to the top. It was very worth it when the sun came up, so beautiful and magical. It was a seamless itinerary, planned appropriately for the sunrise. With food and trekking guide included. Our guide Donnn was amazing organising transfers to the top of for 2 members of our group. Also teaching us about the Balinese culture and nature also taking photos when needed. We throughly appreciate Donnns services. The sunrise was incredible! Must do trip in Bali!

Amazing experience, loved every second
Thoroughly enjoyed our trek - the hike up was worth the stunning views at the top! Jata our guide was so friendly and warm, and we really enjoyed doing it with him. Also loved the addition of food and tea at the top. Jata also took some stunning pictures of us that we will cherish forever. Thank you Jata!!

Great company to take you sunrise watching
We booked a sunrise Jeep tour with black sand and lava before arriving to Bali. Teh communication was great, price was very fair. We were picked up on the day when we were told. Relaxing driver to the parking lot, transferred to a jeep and taken to the viewing spot. Also got a small breakfast - sandwiches, tea, fruit and candy. Later we were taken to black sand and lava field where we were explained some things by our driver. Taken back to teh parkin gand trasferred to a car to be dropped off at the hotel. A great experience with the company. The only thing that I was let down by was the sunrise itself - nothing extremelly special, really.
