Bali is an Indonesian island paradise in that everyone looks to escape to!

Bali can be navigated by 6 different regions – South, Central, North, West, East and Southeastern Islands. For this itinerary, we’ll be covering South Bali (Seminyak) and Central Bali (Ubud) as well as one of the Southeastern islands – Nusa Penida.

The Complete 4D3N Bali Itinerary
Day 1: Ubud
1.30am - 9.30am: Sunrise Trek up Mount Batur
Yes, we know it's a little early, but they do say that the early bird catches the worm and in this case, the early bird catches a beautiful sunrise up Mount Batur! A trek up Mount Batur is the perfect way to kickstart your holiday with a bang by enjoying beautiful views up top on a clear day while sipping on some hot cocoa.
The 2 to 3-hour hike up involves some steep and rocky terrain so some level of fitness is required to conquer Mt. Batur. To reach in time for sunset, it would mean that most of your journey up would be in darkness and you will require torchlights and of course, an expert guide who knows the way. #KlookTip: It can get pretty chilly at the top so be sure to pack a jacket!
Pre-book your Mount Batur sunrise trek on Klook and let the expert guide show you the way. You’ll also be given torch lights, a wooden trekking pole as well as some breakfast and water to fuel your journey.
We also recommend getting add-ons for your trekking experience, including admission to Batur's Natural Hot Springs or tickets to the Jungle Swing.
