About this tour

The 4-hour trek includes a steamed breakfast cooked over volcanic vents at the peak, offering views across the caldera as the island wakes below. Best suited to those with solid fitness levels.

What to expect
You'll start in darkness, climbing steadily uphill with a torch for 1.5 to 2 hours. The path is rocky and steep in sections. Once at the summit, you'll eat a simple breakfast while sitting above the clouds as light spreads across Bali. The descent takes roughly the same time, with cooler temperatures but more visible footing. After returning to base, you have the option to visit nearby attractions—natural hot pools, Pura Ulun Danu temple on the lake, terraced rice fields, or a freshwater spring temple—before heading back to your hotel.
Good to know
Bring warm layers for the cold summit; temperatures drop significantly at altitude. Wear sturdy hiking shoes with good grip. Start very early (often 1–2 am departures). Not suitable if you have back problems, are pregnant, or have heart concerns. Moderate fitness is essential.
