Under millions of stars, your pitch black journey will start after the briefing which will usually be around 3.30 am. The first section to start your trekking will be fairly bushes, flat and wide where hikers usually go on with fast pace. It will take roughly 30 minutes to pass this section.

With average pace, you shall reach the summit before 6.00 am. Don’t be surprised if you ask your guide how many times that he has climbed the mountain. Most of the guides here easily go up Mount Batur everyday for the past 5 years!
On the top, you will watch the sky slowly turning from dark purple to sapphire blue with pink hues as the mighty sun rises over the ocean. An amazing view — in distance, you will see a higher mountain which is Mount Agung, another iconic volcano in Bali.
