During this trip you will be joining a small group of like minded travellers and climbing Mt Batur to reach the summit by sunrise.This trip also includes a pick up from most hotels located in South Bali or Ubud. If you are the only person being picked up from the specific location, you may be asked to top up for your pick up. On the way back you can stop by a Balinese coffee farm to sample some of the famous island coffee! What to ExpectPick up You will be picked up from your hotel in South Bali or Ubud and taken to the start of the hike in Kintamani, at the base of Mt Batur. As this is a group pick up, the exact time will vary depending on the location of your hotel, but will be sometime between 1.30-2.30am. Your guide will indicate the night before an approximate time. Start of the Trek You will arrive to the start of the trail around 3.30 and after a brief introduction begin the hike. The trek will begin in darkness, but don't worry, your guide will provide you with head lamp to illuminate the path. The first half is fairly easy but once reaching half way, the path becomes a bit more steep and slippery.Reaching the Summit You will reach the summit of 1717 meters right before sunrise. You will be able to enjoy the surroundings from a comfortable seat, overlooking the village rooftops at the bottom, sipping a hot drink and having a yummy banana sandwich and hard boiled egg cooked in the volcanic steam! Psst.. it's cold at the summit! Make sure you have a jacket and long trousers are also a good idea. The Descent After sunrise you will head to the rim of the main crater, where you will have another great vantage point. If it's not too cloudy you will even be able to see Mount Rinjani from the neighboring island of Lombok. Your guide will also tell you a little more about the history of Mt Batur and it's long track record of eruptions. The trek will complete around 8:30am, but depends on your pace.Back to Your Hotel On the way back to your hotel, you can choose to stop by a Balinese coffee plantation. Here you can learn about the importance of the plant to Balinese life as well as observe the locals processing the beans in a traditional way. You can also sample some coffee luwak, considered one of the best coffees in the world. Please note the stop at the coffee plantation is not included in the price. ***Please note this experience requires 2 participants to proceed. If the minimum is not met, it may be rescheduled or you may opt to top up. If you are the only person being picked up from a given location, you may also need to top up IDR 500,000. Your guide will inform you if that's the case.
