Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking With Breakfas

About this tour

Climb Bali's most active volcano in darkness, reaching the 1717-metre peak just as dawn breaks over the caldera. The 2-hour ascent from the base rewards you with views across Lake Batur and Mount Agung whilst your guide prepares eggs using volcanic steam. On the descent, you'll weave through three younger craters before choosing to detour through a working coffee plantation. The full day includes transport, kit, hot beverages and breakfast.

Highlights

• Summit Batur in pre-dawn darkness, torch in hand
• Watch sunrise paint the caldera in orange and gold
• Eat eggs cooked by volcanic heat at the peak
• Trek through three nested volcanic craters on descent
• Taste freshly brewed local Luwak coffee at plantation

What to expect

You'll start in the dark at the mountain's base with trekking poles, torches and rain gear in hand. The climb is steady and relentless—roughly two hours uphill on volcanic rock and dirt paths. Most of the ascent happens by headtorch, so expect limited views until you're nearly at the summit. Once there, you'll rest whilst your guide cooks breakfast using steam vents. As light spreads across the landscape, the caldera and neighbouring peaks emerge. The descent follows a different route through younger crater formations, taking roughly the same time as the climb. If you choose the coffee plantation stop, add another 45 minutes.
