We want to get you there for the sunrise so our driver will pick you up from your hotel, pre-dawn. All Mount Batur Trekking Company drivers work for us so they are guaranteed to be licensed, safe drivers who speak English and are reliable. Feel free to ask them questions along the way or just get a little more sleep if you want.
You’ll arrive at the starting point at Pura Ulun Danu Batur, Songan Village, Kintamani. There you’ll meet your guide for your trek through the jungle. He or she will go over brief safety procedures and answer any questions.
You’ll hike through the forest and along the crater rim until you get to the sunrise point. There, your guides will serve you breakfast as you relax and watch the sunrise with views of Mt Batur, Mt Agung and Mt Rinjani in Lombok.
Continue through the forest and along Lake Batur, passing by local farmers and friendly villagers of Trunyan village, who often like to speak with travelers and share their culture and traditions.
At Pulak village, you’ll board the traditional canoe across the river to Toya Bungkah Village and the end-point of your trek. Our last stop will be at a coffee plantation where you can try herbal teas and Luwak coffee before heading back to your hotel.
US $55.00 per person (minimum 2 people per group).
All fees are included in this trek. There is not extra cost for park entrance, though you may want to bring extra money for the coffee plantation and to purchase souvenirs. We can accommodate solo hikers, but due to opportunity cost, we must charge an additional 50%.
Cancellations are always regretful, but we understand the uncertainty of travel so we help to accommodate you as much as possible.
Therefore, we provide 100% refunds for anyone who cancels at least 3 days before their scheduled hike. If you cancel 2 days before, we can give you a 50% refund.

Most guests have no problem with this hike. There are small hills along the rim of the crater, but we are not climbing to the top of the volcano. Regardless, it wouldn’t hurt to be conditioned with mild stretching and even light jogging before scheduling this experience.
Our guides will accommodate you and hike at a pace that is comfortable for you and your group. They are happy to offer help whenever you need it.
As with any activity, we recommend seeing a physician if you are unsure about your physical condition.
Hiking boots are fine, but not necessary. Many travelers choose to wear running shoes or workout shoes. Be prepared to get them dirty, muddy or wet if there has been rain in the area.
We suggest you bring the following items with you:
Loud music and pets are not permitted on this trek.
You’ll be hiking in close proximity to Mt Batur, which is a live volcano, though dormant. Because of the sensational press coverage of Bali’s other volcano, Mt Agung, travelers have been concerned about safety. Indeed, Mt Agung is currently closed to trekking and Indonesia’s Center for Volcanology of Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) has issued a 9-12 kilometer safe zone. Your jungle trek is well outside this zone and completely safe for all guests.
Mount Batur Trekking Company guides are trained in basic first aid, safety and evacuation procedures should there be an emergency or accident during your trek.
In the case of evacuation, the Mountain Rescue team for Batur will be notified to provide any assistance necessary. Of course, we don’t expect any problems and our guides are among the safest in the business, but we like to be safe, regardless. Please see our full safety policy or contact us at mtbatursunrisetrek@gmail.com If you have any questions.

This was a great Trek. The guide who came with us was really patient and helpful. He helped my parents a lot who really needed help. Even though the sky was overcast, the view was very beautiful.
