Between rice fields, lush forests, beaches and majestic volcanoes, nature is king. On this highly coveted island, there are several volcanoes, including Mount Agung, Bratan and Mount Batur, or Gunung Batur in Indonesian, which rises to an altitude of 1717 metres.
The reason the latter attracts so many adventure enthusiasts to its summit at sunrise is because it offers a breathtaking view. The climb to Mount Batur is one of the island's legendary hikes and promises an unforgettable excursion.
Batur is located in the mountainous region of Kintamani, in the north of the Indonesian island of Bali. It is a stratovolcano consisting of a vast caldera overlooking a lake of the same name. Mount Abang (2100 m) faces it.
Mount Batur in Bali is a still active volcano. Two violent eruptions, in 1917 and 1926, cost thousands of lives and destroyed houses and temples in the village below the volcano. Its last, much smaller eruption in 2000 was neither devastating nor deadly.
Mount Batur is very closely monitored and access to it is forbidden to the public whenever there is a risk of eruption. It is therefore not dangerous to climb it.
Even today, this mountain is considered sacred by the Hindus and religious ceremonies are frequently held there. The Balinese share it with the many travellers who want to reach its summit to admire the breathtaking panorama.
The best time to visit Mount Batur is between April and November to avoid heavy rain showers.
It will take you about 5 hours to hike up and down Mount Batur.
To climb Mount Batur, you will have to pay about $28 per person. The price includes transportation from your accommodation to the bottom of Mount Batur and the services of a guide.
