What to expect

You'll be collected in the early hours and driven to the trailhead. The 2-hour trek up Mount Batur is steep but manageable with a guide setting the pace; torches light the way until dawn breaks overhead. The summit offers views of the crater lake and surrounding peaks before you descend (roughly 90 minutes) into daylight. After breakfast, you'll head to Tegalalang to wander between the rice paddies, learning how the terraced system works. Expect muddy sections after rain and uneven terrain throughout. The guide provides local context about farming and village life.
