Eco-conscious Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking Experience

Our guide Gede is a young man who is very enthusiastic about this job. He always pays attention to our situation, introduces the local scenery and takes us back to another road, and will take pictures with us enthusiastically. The focus this time is on volcanic trekking. I was lucky to see the sunrise with burning clouds. While we were enjoying the sunrise, Gede went to help me prepare breakfast so that we could enjoy breakfast while enjoying the beautiful scenery. PS: To participate in this trip, you need to have some physical strength because you started walking It didn't take long to start walking on a kind of volcanic ash or sandy soil, it was slippery and the slope was not small, but it was worth the whole journey to see the beauty, everything was worth it

The hours were hard: we had to leave the hotel at 1am and it was another 2 hour drive to mount batur. The hike was strenuous and it was freezing in the top before sunrise. You definitely need a warm jacket (better be wind proof). But the view of the sunrise was so fabulous!!! It was the most memorable and best thing I did in my 10 day bali trip. Our guide (sadly forgot his name) took incredible panoramic photos for us. I think everyone needs to do this once in their lifetime. We’re not very fit people, so the private tour suited us. We were a little bit worried when our male driver picked us (two girls) up at 1am and drove us into the dark roads in the middle of nowhere (there were very few cars before you got to the parking area), but everything turned out to be ok.

I'm worried about my lack of physical strength, but I think I did a good tour! The sunrise was so pretty and beautiful! At 2:30 am the driver Mr.Ketut and guide Mr.Gede picked up the hotel! While trekking, I struggled a lot, and the guide Gede kept track of the condition and took great care to grab the dangerous sections up and down so I could see the perfect sunrise! The guide was so caring that the tour was a success! I was worried that it would be cold, but in the case of Hassan, short sleeves and long pants were enough, and at the top, it was cold so I wore a brushed hood. Recommended for those who like to climb everyday and want to experience the beauty of Bali sunrise! However, I think it would be good to raise your stamina as usual ^^ ;;; My mom, who enjoys hiking, said it wasn't hard!

Love the visit to the top of Mount Batur. the view from the top was gorgeous beyond words and you could see the sunrise at the right timing. there are options to take motorcycle taxi (at a fee, excluded from the package) to go up the main bulk of the climb. the tours to coffee plantation, water fall and rice terrace was beautiful as well. our driver was very accommodating as to where we would like to spend more time or where we would not like to stay as long.

Katut/Ari was an amazing guide. He let me go at my own pace, answered all my questions and took lots of amazing pictures as well. We took lots of short breaks but were still able to make it in time for the sunrise. We got to the top in 1hr40mins. He also explained about Balinese culture and I learned a few words. Overall, it was an amazing experience! I was a solo traveler but would love to do it again with friends someday!

best hike ever!! make sure you dress warm and wear clothes you don’t care about getting dirty. best guide ketut arus!!

Even though we started off the day really early, it was a wonderful (even though extremely tiring uphill climb) experience. Our lovely guide Marta was very friendly and extremely pleasant. We were very much inspired by how he get through all the climbing without any difficulties. After enduring for 2hrs, we made it to the top and watched the beautiful sunrise. Marta prepared eggs, bread and some hot chocolates for us as we settle down to catch the breathtaking view (literally breathtaking cause of the climb). We didn’t have any strength to walk back to the starting point so we paid the locals extra to get us back to the starting point on bikes. That was another experience that I think everyone should try as well

We were guided by an experienced guide for the hike. He was polite and friendly. He offered help to carry bags too. The driver was very helpful and he helped us took a lot of photos at the tourist spots despite the hot weather and the long queue. Kudos to both of them!

I would like to thank Berig, who picked me up for the Mount Batur trip, our guide Ketut, and the driver who took us back to the accommodation (I’m sorry I couldn’t remember his name). Before starting the hike at dawn, they provided water, headlamps, walking sticks, and jackets at the meeting point, which made the preparation much easier. Our guide Ketut was very kind and attentive. He kept pace with the group and led the hike in a safe and well-organized manner. On steeper or more difficult sections, he even held our hand to help, which made me feel very safe and supported. Thanks to him, even beginners can reach the summit without much difficulty. The breakfast was also satisfying, and overall it was a very enjoyable hiking experience. For solo travelers like me, this tour was very reasonably priced compared to others. Highly recommended.

MADD trek .. it’s not very easy you need to be physically fit .. but all worth for the sunrise view
