This is a private Mount Batur sunrise trek, that takes you down a much less crowded route to the summit. Our favourite part of this classic Mt Batur Trek to the summit is the secluded jungle trail, which is little know by other guides and hikers. Your guides, who are all Kintamani locals and know the trails by heart, will be able to give you a very local and exclusive experience as you climb to the top.We also love this trek for the views on the way down, where you get an incredible panorama of the villages and towns below, along side the placid Lake Batur and even the ocean in the distance. What to ExpectStart of the Trek You will meet your guide at 3:45am at a lesser known starting point. The trek will begin in darkness, but your guide will provide you with a head lamp. The terrain will change from a wide dirt road, to a narrow jungle trail and finally turn into a more rocky exposed mountain face path. Trail can be slippery, especially when wet.Reaching the Summit You will reach the summit just as the sky begins to turn from black to inky blue. Once at the top you can settle in to watch the sunrise over Mt Abang, Mt Agung and Mt Rinjani. Enjoy the surroundings while sipping a hot drink and trying a hard boiled egg cooked in the volcanic steam! The Descent After sunrise, you will head to the rim of the main crater, here you will have another great vantage point of the villages and Lake Batur. As you start the descent you will be walking down a narrow path with steep slopes to both sides. This trail will turn into a very gravely lava sand for a short period - be prepared to slide! The final bit will be rocky and sturdy, albeit at times slippery if wet. You will finish around 8:30am, but depends on your pace.Back to Your Hotel On the way back to your hotel, you can choose to make a stop at the Natural Hot Springs to relax your muscles after a strenuous hike. Please note there are additional fees for entrance tickets which can be added to this trip at the time of check out.
