Mount Batur Caldera Camping & Village Trek

If you love nature, camping and beautiful scenery, this package is definitely for you. You'll get to enjoy the sunrise from the Caldera of volcanic Mount Batur while your licensed guides take you on an exploration along trails that only the Balinese locals know. You're in good hands.

This is the beautiful interior where traditional villages still adhere to old customs and where Bali's culture is strongest. Views stretch across the lava valley and trails are as peaceful as the smiles on the faces of the local villagers. Enjoy two days and one night away from the beaches and spas to see a part of real Bali — the nature, landscape and people that will be burned in your memory for a lifetime.

Mount Batur is a Caldera volcano, which by eruptions have caused the peak to fall in on itself, creating a huge crater. In the case of Mount Batur, a lake has formed in the middle, allowing beautiful scenery and views throughout the area. There are many viewpoints along the rim of the crater, some spectacular vantage points for sunrises and sunsets. Within the crater, close to the lake, is our camping area.

Your trip begins with a mid-afternoon pickup, transporting you to Songan village where you'll meet your English-speaking guide for a briefing before you board a traditional boat and canoe across the lake to your campsite. Here you can swim, relax with a cup of coffee or tea, and set up your tent and campfire equipment while your guides prepare dinner. That evening, you'll enjoy a traditional Balinese dance performance and sit around the campfire under a blanket of a million stars.

Bright and early the next morning, you'll climb the Caldera and watch the sunrise with a hot cup of Balinese coffee or tea, then continue along the trails of the crater rim and through the woods back across the lake. You'll enjoy some time at the local hot springs before heading to the coffee plantation, where you can taste Balinese coffee and the famous Kopi Luwak — the rarest and most expensive coffee in the world.
