But in our experience the few adventurers that choose to do it against common sense, consider it one of the highlights of their visit to Bali! The view is simply mindblowing, and a picture can never capture the beauty of what you'll see.

mount Batur trekking

Around 3 am you start your guided trek. Although the trek itself does not require one to be an experienced hiker, it will be an exhausting hike because of the up-hill walking.
