One could spend a week traversing Bali and still miss its defining essence—falling into the trap of the same beaches, the same roads, and the same curated photos. This itinerary operates differently.
The entire journey is built around Mount Batur —an active volcano in the island's highlands that most only witness from a distance. The experience begins by reaching the caldera before dawn to watch the sunrise from the crater’s edge, with Mount Abang and the majestic Agung appearing simultaneously as the light breaks. The morning continues with a trek across ancient lava flows.
Following the descent, the pace shifts to the natural hot springs at the volcano’s foot, followed by a jungle trail leading to a secluded temple often overlooked by standard tours. The route back winds through tiered rice paddies, completing the landscape.
Over two days, every detail—transfers, accommodation, guiding, and entry fees—is managed for you. All that remains is for you to arrive.
Your driver meets you at the airport with a MyBaliTrips sign and takes you straight to Ayung Resort Ubud. The hotel sits above the Ayung River, surrounded by jungle — far enough from central Ubud to actually feel quiet. Check in, settle in. If you want to use the hotel spa before the early start tomorrow, now's the time. If not, just get some sleep — the alarm goes off at 3am.
3:20am, your guide picks you up. You drive to the caldera in the dark.
By sunrise you're standing on the rim. From here you can see three volcanoes at once: Batur in front of you, Mount Abang to the east, and Agung — Bali's highest point — rising behind everything. Lake Batur below, flat and glassy at that hour.
After the sunrise, a walk through the lava fields to the crater. The landscape is unlike anything else on the island — black rock, no vegetation, the kind of silence that makes you stop talking.
Around midday, the natural hot springs at the base of the volcano. Warm mineral water, mountain views, no crowds.
Then into the jungle on the slopes of Mount Abang, to Bubung Renteng Temple — an old Balinese temple that doesn't make it onto most itineraries. Stone statues, dense forest, no other tourists.
After lunch, the road back passes through traditional Balinese villages and rice paddies. You're back at the hotel by around 2pm.
The rest of the evening is free. Ubud Market is nearby if you want to look around, or the Blanco Renaissance Museum — an eccentric private gallery built inside an old mansion with tropical gardens. Or just walk through Ubud itself.
The morning is yours to spend at a slower pace: there is time for breakfast at the resort, a final stroll through the grounds, or a quiet moment by the pool before departure. It is a chance to gather your thoughts and enjoy the island’s atmosphere one last time.
Later, a driver will arrive at the hotel lobby to take you to Bali Airport Ngurah Rai. The pick-up time is scheduled individually, based on your flight departure and current traffic conditions. To ensure a seamless journey to the terminal, we recommend confirming the exact transfer time with your manager in advance.
