Options and cost
Description
Welcome to sunrise at the top of the volcano!
Mount Batur is one of the most popular volcanoes to climb on the island of Bali. The climb to it is quite easy and short, so it is suitable for travelers with any level of training. And the view that opens at dawn is breathtaking in its beauty!
This stratovolcano at an altitude of 1717 meters above sea level offers stunning landscapes of the island — green fields, local villages and wild jungles. The ascent we start in the darkness to meet the sunrise at the top — this is the most interesting moment! When the sun just rises above the earth, it illuminates the earth with its rays and a new beautiful day begins.
In the crater of the volcano is Lake Batur, which gives this place a special charm. The lake changes its color depending on the time of day and weather, creating amazing landscapes. Locals also use the lake for fishing.
Overall, Mount Batur offers a unique experience for adventure lovers and those who appreciate the beauty of nature!

Secret route — “Jack's Black Lava”
(Only for real adventurers!)
Forget the hordes of tourists, the queues to the top and the noise of motorbikes — this route not sold in regular agencies and not found on popular sites. This is us author's and solitary path to the volcano Batur, which opens a completely different, live and present Bali
We will start on a special path — among the frozen black lava, smoking craters, lava fields, black sand and volcanic cracks, through which the earth still breathes. This is OPEN-AIR MUSEUM created by the element itself
How is this route different?
Total silence and privacy— you will not find columns of 50 people here, as on a standard ascent. Just you, a group of 4–10 people, your guide and the volcano
Maximum volcanic experience
We’ll see all 7 craters, follow the traces of the last eruption, where steam is still emitted, and make breakfast right in the ground, in a natural volcanic furnace
The path is not easy, but exciting— you will go through black lava slopes, climb the real top and discover the panoramic views of Lake Batur, Agung and Rinjani in the glow of the sunrise
A real adventure, not a “tour”— this route is suitable for those who want to feel the volcano with their whole body, live through the dawn, and not just "visit a point on the map"
Breakfast on top —natural, hot, vegan. Without buns from the supermarket — only fresh sweet potatoes, corn, bananas, fruits and cocoa cooked in volcanic “boiling water”.
The whole way is like shooting for a movie: from predawn darkness with lanterns on the forehead to the first rays of the sun dissecting volcanic steam. These are frames that will remain in memory for life
Distance: 9–12 km
Time: 7 hours (03:00 – 10:00)
The temperature at night: 10°C – 15°C
Ease: medium / difficult (but even a beginner can cope with the desire)
Do you want to go not “like everyone else”, but really feel the volcano?
Write to us — the route is not available every day and only for those who are ready to test themselves
