What to Expect

Morning Transfer to Mount Batur
At the scheduled time, a driver from the «Pineh Trekking» company will arrive at your hotel or villa. Please wait at the hotel reception or at the entrance to your villa. Once all participants are gathered, the transfer will head to the base at the foot of Mount Batur. There, you’ll meet the rest of the group and your guide, who will give a short briefing and hand out flashlights. You’ll be offered breakfast: banana pancakes, tea, and coffee. After that, the vehicle will take you to the starting point of the trek. Depending on the traffic at the entrance, the driver will either drop you off directly at the starting point or about 15–20 minutes away on foot.

Climbing Mount Batur
The ascent begins around 4:00 a.m. To make the 1,717-meter climb more comfortable, there will be several rest stops along the way. You’ll reach the summit by sunrise, where a breathtaking view of the caldera and mountain lake, often covered in morning mist, will unfold before you. You’ll be offered a light snack and bottled water at the top. There will be enough time to enjoy the sunrise and take beautiful photos. After that, you’ll head back down to the starting point. The driver will be waiting at the parking area.

Return Transfer
When everyone is back, the transfer will take you to your hotel or villa. Travel time depends on traffic and the location of your accommodation.

We loved everything! We were met by a driver in Ubud, who was very positive and pleasant. We stopped for breakfast, then headed to the parking area from where everyone heads to the ascent point. Then we were met by our guide, a lovely lady, and we began our ascent. After we reached the top, an incredible view of the sunrise and clouds opened up 😍😍😍

We were lucky with the weather and had a great view from the volcano. The route is not difficult, accessible to everyone. We love hiking and such a trip is a joy for us. The downside is there are a lot of people, but it depends on your luck. Regarding the tour organization: everything was on time, the driver was excellent. Downsides: groups with different paces, we honestly waited a long time, especially on the way back after the descent. Also, we wanted to go back to the hotel immediately, but they took us to a coffee plantation. Everyone was hungry and tired, no one wanted to go there. I also want to note the 'breakfast', 3 pieces of dry white bread, and an egg. In my opinion, for this cost, they could have offered a better snack.

We were lucky with the weather, we could see the stars, and at dawn we saw Rinjani. We didn't like walking for 1.5 hours (in total) on the paved road through the gardens, cars were rushing (other guides take their travelers as high as possible), they honk, and we had to step aside, it was super uncomfortable, and the climb there was harder than on the volcano itself. Also, I didn't like that the website stated that breakfast was included, but when we received our drinks, it turned out that we had to pay 40k for them. Breakfast: 1 egg, which can't be peeled because they don't cool them after boiling, and two pieces of toast bread.
