YOUR TREKKING DETAILS:
Mount Batur Camping at its Best
Get picked up from your hotel by our licensed, English-speaking driver. All transportation is air conditioned and included in the price of your ticket.
Once at the base of the mountain, you’ll meet your guide who will go through brief safety procedures and answer any questions you have about the volcano or the surrounding area. Our guides are all locals and speak English so feel free to ask them anything.
You’ll hike up the mountain in the late afternoon, but don’t worry about camping gear. Our guides will take care of all of it for you. Just enjoy your hike and when you get to the top, you’ll be able to sit and enjoy the spectacular sunset over the volcanic valley as your guides set up and prepare dinner. Enjoy coffee, tea or bottled water as you relax.
Enjoy the evening sky and count the shooting stars as you fall asleep. Wake to one of the most amazing sunrises in Bali with views of Mt Agung and even Lombok’s Mt Rinjani in the distance. Your guides will prepare coffee, tea and your tasty breakfast, which is cooked over the volcanic steam rising out of the mountain.
When you’re ready, and your guides have packed everything back up, you’ll hike over the crater rim of the mountain and back down to Toya Bungkah village where you’ll be able to soothe your muscles in the natural hot springs.
Once you’re dried off and back in the van, we’ll make one more stop to a coffee plantation before dropping you off at your hotel.

US $120.00 per person (minimum 2 people per group).

Safety Policy
Though Mt Batur is a live volcano, it is safe for travelers to climb. You may have heard that Bali’s other big volcano, Gunung Agung, is closed due to volcanic activity and the possibility of eruption. Though the volcano’s activity was sensationalized in the press, Mt Agung is indeed closed. Indonesia’s Center for Volcanology of Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) has issued a 9-12 kilometer safe zone. During your trek and camping on Mt Batur, you will always be well outside of this area. The views of Mt Agung from atop Mt Batur are indeed spectacular and you will always remain at a safe distance.
Should there be an emergency or accident during your trek, Mount Batur Trekking Company guides are trained in first aid and safety procedures that include evacuation and notification of next of kin. We don’t expect any problems and our guides are among the safest in the business, but we like to be careful and prepared nonetheless. Please see our full safety policy here or contact us at mtbatursunrisetrek@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Privacy Policy
Mount Batur Trekking Company respects your privacy. We will never share your information to third parties unless it is absolutely required to complete your booking or refund. Please go here to read our full privacy policy.
