Mount Batur Sunrise Jungle Trek & Lake Crossing
Discover Bali's hidden sunrise trail through lush jungle and volcanic rim. Guided trek, lake crossing, and authentic Balinese coffee tasting.
Overview
It's true. The mountain peaks can give you some of the most far-reaching views, but the scenery from the Caldera is like nothing else in Bali. If you like peaceful trails through scenic forest and the colors of the sunrise reflecting off the glassy water of Lake Batur, then this package is definitely for you.
You'll trek through the stunning jungle and along the rim of the volcanic crater with its amazing views. As you wind down the edge of the crater, you'll make it to Pulak village where you'll take a traditional boat back across Batur lake. The hike is not difficult, but you'll definitely get your exercise for the day. After trekking, enjoy one more stop at the coffee plantation to see how local Luwak coffee is grown and made, finishing off with some tea and coffee tasting before we head back to your hotel.
As with all of our treks, you'll begin early when our friendly driver picks you up from your hotel and takes you to your starting point at Pura Ulun Danu Batur, Songan Village, Kintamani. Here you'll meet your English-speaking guide, a local of Kintamani who knows the mountain like the back of his hand. Caldera Batur has been part of the Global Geopark Network (GGN) since 2012.
You'll trek through the forest and along the caldera crater until you reach the point to view sunrise over the eastern sky. We'll have breakfast and continue on, taking in the view of Batur lake, Mount Agung and even across the sea to Mount Rinjani on Lombok Island. You'll also witness local farmers at work and come across the famous village of Trunyan, whose villagers are happy to share their culture and customs with you.
As you descend into the valley along more scenic forest trails, you'll reach Pulak village where you'll board a traditional canoe back across the lake. After everyone has boarded the van, you'll make one more stop at a coffee plantation to see how local Balinese coffee is grown and made, and taste the famous Luwak coffee — the rarest coffee in the world — before heading back to your hotel.
