The Right Place to Get Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking Info
Many tourist avoid doing extreme things when they travel abroad, there are several reason behind their action. First, because they are not familiar with the surrounding area. So they afraid that they cant ask for help when something happen when they are surrounded by unfamiliar people and places.
The other reason is because they don’t plan to include extreme challenges when they decided where to go. Most people will likely to think about what to do in tourism spots. It’s include what to eat, what to visit, and where to stay. People also avoid doing extreme challenge because they travel with other family member. So it will be difficult to set things with other members.
However, not all extreme challenges are unfamiliar and limited for certain kind of people. One of them is hiking Mount Batur. Hiking may sound extreme right? Especially for those who are not a fan of doing physical activities or those who have no experience with trekking before. However, how if the hiking only last for two hours? It may sound impossible but it is the truth.
Hiking Mount Batur will only take around two hours to complete. Which means it is suitable for all age and all level of physical abilities that you have. You don’t have to be a professional to hike yet you can still the sensation of being separated with the city life.
Here Is Some Of The Things That You Need To Know Before Hiking Mount Batur
The Mount Batur tour is divided by three different kinds of tours including sunrise hiking, afternoon hiking, and daytime hiking. Sunrise hiking is the most famous one, because the weather is still considered fresh during the hiking. This type of tour will start early in the morning. It may start at midnight for those who live in central city. You need to take two hours drives from Kuta and Ubud to Batur. Although it is considered as the most famous attractions, but many people did not choose this package. That’s because they cant afford the transportation from their hotel to Batur.

However, this problem is actually can be solved easily by booking the tour online at bagusbalisunrise.com. As the agent will help you to prepare everything from transportation, accommodation, and access to local attractions. Bagus Bali sunrise trekking will also help you to find the guide that meet your requirement. They also provide tour for those with limited budget where the tour member will share the expense together. This can make the journey much cheaper than you can imagine.
Preparation for Mount Batur Trekking
There are things that you need to prepare when taking Bali Sunrise trekking tours to Mount Batur, you have to wear layered of clothes to avoid getting cold. Although Bali is actually hot during the day, but it is pretty chilly at night. Bringing you own chocolate bar or snacks is also necessary in case you are getting tired a long he way. But don’t worry about the breakfast because there are a lot of cafes and restaurants that are available in the local village.
Mount Batur Trekking Packages Options
When taking the sunrise tour you can enjoy both Mount Batur sunrise trekking and hot springs. After three hour tour you can take a good bath on the local hot spring to relieve your fatigue. You can also enjoy several attractions that are available during the day from water sport to cycling, just choose what you like.
Daytime hiking is usually pack with people. Because many people prefer to hike the mountain in the morning when the weather is not to hot and come back to the nearby village before lunch time. This type of tour is mostly preferable for those who brings family with them, especially those who bring children with them. Hiking during the day is quite tiring, but you don’t have to worry because most of the parts the trekking route is shaded with trees.
However, to avoid any heat stroke, you better bring your own comfortable hat to protect your head from the sun beam. Bring your own water, because you may needed during this time. Pay attention to the weather; because when the it is pouring rain the agent usually cancel the tour because the trek will be too slippery to hike.
Opposite from Bali Sunrise trekking, you can also join afternoon hiking where you can see the sun set at the summit. It is preferable among young people, because it gives romantic feeling. Afternoon hiking will last until night, so make sure that you are not too tired to execute the journey.
Where You Need to Stay?
If you are planning to take this kind of tour, I recommend you to stay in nearby hotel within the village because you will be too exhausted just to come back to Kuta or Ubud. Both sunrise and sun set hiking give different view, as the color of the sky will be totally different depend on the time when you arrive on the summit.
Price for Mount Batur Trekking
The price for each tour package will be different depend on the service that you want to add on your tour. Private tour will be costly compare to group tour where you can share the expense. Mount Batur trekking price usually cover the expense for the transportation, guide, and access to Mount Batur. But you may have to spend some money for local accommodation if needed. Special arrangement for local attraction and restaurant are also available, all you have to do is to ask the agent about those services.
Booking the tour long before the deadline is recommended! This is because you cannot sure when the package is fully book then you might have to rearrange your tour from the very beginning. During peak season, it will be hard to find available group and guide to guide you during the trip. So making an arrangement before the due date is a must. Mount Batur trekking usually available trough out the year. It may be close for safety reason; but the local government will notify you when you can come and when you cannot.

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!

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.
