Climb Bali's most popular active volcano by torchlight and reach the crater rim before sunrise. A private guide sets the pace up forest and lava trails, serves breakfast above the clouds overlooking Lake Batur, then leads you down through black lava fields. Optional hot spring soaking afterward soothes tired legs before the drive back to your hotel.
Pre-dawn pickup, light meal at basecamp, roughly two-hour ascent under stars, summit sunrise with cooked breakfast, descent through lava landscapes, optional hot spring soak, then hotel return. Fitness matters more than speed on this route.
Full stages are in the itinerary below.
Mount Batur (1,717 m) rises above Lake Batur in Kintamani, Bali's central highlands north of Ubud. Trailheads start from Toya Bungkah side villages.
Moderate fitness, slip-resistant footwear and warm layers. Minimum age 10. Not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with significant knee or cardiovascular issues without clearance.
Private guiding and transfers remove the stress of joining a large convoy in the dark. Local mountain guides know the pacing, weather signs and best summit viewpoints for photos.
Private hotel pickup between 1:00 and 2:30 am depending on location. Timing is confirmed one day before. Return transfer after descent and optional hot springs. Wear trekking shoes and bring warm layers.
Pickup is typically between 1:00 and 2:30 am depending on your hotel, so you reach the trailhead before dawn. Exact time is confirmed one day before departure.
Plan minimal sleep and no late night the evening before.
The hike is graded moderate. You climb roughly two hours in the dark on volcanic terrain with some steep sections. Reasonable fitness and sturdy footwear are important.
The private format lets you rest when needed without rushing for a large group.
Yes. A light breakfast with hot drink is served at basecamp before the climb, and a cooked breakfast at the summit while you watch sunrise over Lake Batur.
