Can I camp overnight at Mount Batur?

Yes, camping is allowed at Mount Batur with proper permits. Enjoy a unique camping experience under the stars near the volcanic crater and wake up to breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

How long does it take to climb Mount Batur?

It can take 1-2 hours to summit Mt Batur, depending on how fit you are - so in total going up and down will take you 4 hours. If you do the alternative Batur caldera route (which has 20-40 persons a day compared to the usual summit route of 300-600 persons), it'll take 30-60 minutes to climb each way.

Is Mount Batur worth it?

It is the most popular hike in Bali because you get to see a gorgeous sunrise (in good weather!), panoramic views over Lombok island and Mt Agung after a reasonably easy hike. So it's worth it if all you're looking for is some time out in nature and a good view. The only downside is that the mountain is very touristed, and it sees 300-600 hikers a day - so you will have lots of people around you during the climb. If you prefer a less touristed route we would highly recommend the alternative Batur caldera climb which only sees 30-40 persons a day - this climb is slightly easier (half the time), it gives you a gorgeous panoramic view and it also includes a boat ride across the Batur caldera lake which is cool!

Our driver and guide were absolutely amazing! On the drive from UBud to base camp, we stopped at a coffee plantation where we had the opportunity to sample delicious local coffee, tea, and chocolate We chose the sunset hike and were fortunate to enjoy stunning views of the mountain with minimal rain. Our guide was very attentive and prioritized our safety throughout the journey. He was local and knew the area well. Overall, it was a fantastic adventure!

Our hike with Wi and the Bali Yok team was a great experience overall. It’s a unique route since you don’t go along the main hiking path, which made it feel more personal and interesting. Our local guide was really friendly and shared stories about the area and how the calderas were formed, which added a nice touch of history throughout the climb. The pickup from our place was smooth and on time, and the hike itself was moderately challenging - some steep sections on the way up and a few slippery spots depending on the weather. It was chilly at the start, but it warmed up as we got further along. At the top, a lady welcomed us with tea and yummy food. The view at the summit was partially cloudy for us, but we still got to see several peaks and felt luckier than those at the main summit, which was completely covered. Overall, it was a fun and unique hiking experience that we’d recommend.

Hands down the best experience I‘ve had on Bali, possibly the best trail ride ever! Dede went above and beyond to make sure I had a beyond perfect day. Not too slow, never too fast. Great single tracks through the bamboo forest and volcanic sand tracks everywhere on the flank of Mt Batur. Hard to stay focused with the breathtaking views along the way! And the delicious lunch buffet was just the cherry on top. My gratitude goes toward Dede for being so patient, relaxed yet professional and most of all, for giving me such a fantastic memory!

The Jeep ride was exciting after the recent heavy rain made the tracks quite challenging. I loved the coffee and tea tasting and the chance to support a local community business by buying some coffee. Unfortunately the rain was falling at sunrise so the view over Lake Batur was not what I had hoped for. Thanks for creating some good photos on the jeep anyway. I'll have to come back for the sunrise another time!

100% recommmend! Gede was very responsive for our queries pre-trip, pick up and tour were well arranged with no hiccups at all. The guide who took us up My Batur was also amazing, helpful during the climb, friendly and took the initiative to take many amazing photos for us. They are also local guides as advertised, so do support them!

An absolute highlight of our trip! We were lucky and had the walk to ourselves. Our driver Yosi and guide Wi were both extremely lovely and shared so many great stories and interesting knowledge. The view from the rim was incredible even on our cloudy morning and we loved getting to take the boat across the lake. Definitely worth the early rise (3am for us in Ubud so not too bad) and we got back with so much day left to spend.

We hiked in a small group of 4. Our guide was very friendly and allowed us to hike at our pace. The hike itself is not overly challenging, and most people with a decent level of fitness should be able to handle it fine. It took us an hour to climb, and that was at quite a leisurely pace. We had a breakfast consisting of a banana sandwich, boiled eggs, a chocolate bar, and a hot coffee at the summit. This was the perfect way to soak in the view. I would highly recommend this experience.
