Mount Batur, an active volcano nestled in Bali’s Kintamani region, offers an unforgettable hiking experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Rising to 1,717 meters (5,633 feet) above sea level, it provides stunning panoramic views and a chance to witness the raw beauty of Bali’s volcanic landscape.
The journey typically begins in the early hours, around 2-3 AM, to ensure arrival at the summit just in time for sunrise. The trail is moderately challenging, winding through volcanic rocks, lush greenery, and occasional patches of black sand from past eruptions. While the hike requires a reasonable level of fitness, the reward at the top makes every step worth it.
