Now we present you with ideas for hikes for those who are up for more challenging physical adventures.

Sekumpul and Fiji Waterfalls

Sekumpul is not only the highest but also one of the most impressive waterfalls in Bali. However, reaching it requires some effort. You will have to head north of the island, navigating winding mountain roads, and then embark on a full trek through dense jungles. While the journey may be demanding, it comes alive with picturesque landscapes. During the hike, you'll immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the tropical forest, witness the growth of exotic fruits, descend a steep staircase to the base of the waterfall, and cross a cool mountain river to absorb the grandeur of Sekumpul. If you follow along the riverbed, you may discover other smaller waterfalls as well.

It is best to go trekking to Sekumpul with a guide. On our website, you will find a tour that allows you to undertake this trek with an experienced guide who will ensure your safety and share interesting facts about the place.

Mount Batur

And if you're looking to give your body a serious workout, embark on a trek to the volcano. Mount Batur (1717m) is an active volcano in Bali and a gem of the island. People ascend it to witness the sunrise, see the breathtaking views of the caldera and Lake Batur at the volcano's base in the early morning sunlight, observe the mountain silhouettes in the morning haze, and the sacred Mount Agung.

The ascent to Mount Batur begins at night and takes approximately two hours. The climb is not the easiest and requires at least a basic level of physical fitness.

We offer daily ascents to Mount Batur. You can find detailed information and join a group on our website.

In addition to Batur, there are two other interesting points on the island of Bali for volcano trekking. More information about these opportunities can be found in the article accessible at the following link.
