Mount Batur Sunrise Trek

  • DifficultyModerate
  • Best seasonMay-October

Bali's most popular adventure — a pre-dawn guided trek to the rim of an active volcano for one of Southeast Asia's most spectacular sunrises. The 2-hour ascent on volcanic scree is challenging but achievable for any reasonably fit traveler. Summit views over the caldera, Lake Batur, and Mount Agung are extraordinary.
