Your friendly, English-speaking driver will pick you up from your hotel and will take you directly to the base of the volcano. There you’ll meet your friendly English-speaking guide who will give you a brief overview of the trek and will answer any questions you have. Mount Batur is part of the UNESCO Global Geopark Network and an active volcano. You’ll begin your ascent bright and early under a blanket of stars. Your guide will be happy to discuss the landscape, history and culture of the area. Arriving at the summit, your guide will be happy to offer the best vantage point for photos and will assist you in getting the best shot. Or, if you’d like to just sit and enjoy the view in peace, we encourage you to do that as well. At the top, you’ll be given a meal and beverages to help regain your energy for the trek around the crater and back down the mountain. We will begin our descent back to Toya Bungkah where we will enjoy the soothing and therapeutic waters of the natural hot springs. At 38 degrees celsius (about 99 degrees fahrenheit), it’s a perfect way to relax after an early morning hike through the spectacular countryside of northern Bali.
