Gunung Batur is an active volcano near Lake Batur on the Indonesian island of Bali. The volcano is located in the center of two concentric calderas, northwest of Gunung Agung. Gunung Batur is 1,717 meters high.
Mount Batur Trekking has long been one of the highlights of the active travelers’s trip to Bali. The Mount Batur Sunrise Trek is one of our most popular tours for good reason. Not only do you get to explore an active volcano and get up close and personal with one of Bali’s most sacred mountains, but you also get to experience spectacular views of the sun bursting onto the horizon in a riot of oranges and yellows and slowly spreading over the caldera and lake below.
A Jeep Tour on Gunung Batur is a popular alternative to the traditional sunrise trek. You ride in a 4×4 vehicle to a special viewpoint (approximately 1,560 meters above sea level) to watch the sunrise without having to climb yourself.
