Mount Agung trekking tour
Mount Agung, Bali's highest peak at 3,142 meters (10,308 feet), is a stunning active volcano that locals revere as the "Great Mountain" where gods are believed to dwell. With its rich array of legends, Mount Agung is thought to protect Bali from dark forces and is considered the island's spiritual heart. Its imposing presence is visible from almost anywhere on the island and always leaves a lasting impression.
Embarking on a climb of Mount Agung is a demanding adventure, even for those in peak physical condition. The ascent involves navigating a steep, rocky slope with a 45-degree angle and takes between 4 to 6 hours, with a similar time required for the descent. Expect to put your knees to the test!
But the reward is extraordinary: witnessing the sunrise from the summit of the "Great Mountain" is truly unforgettable. Above the clouds, where the gods are said to reside, you'll see the sun rise and illuminate the land with its first rays—a truly magical experience. At the top, you can also gaze into the volcano's crater, where the unique spatial perception makes it difficult to judge its vastness and depth.
Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime experience and also explore the peaks of Mount Batur, Ijen and Bromo. Be among the first on the planet to marvel at some of the most breathtaking sunrises!
