Apart from its rows of beautiful beaches, Bali also has mountain wonders that are a shame to miss. Mount Batur, which is located in the Kintamani area, Bangli Regency, is the main destination for those seeking views of the sunrise.
Hello Traveler friends at ZOYALINK! Mount Batur has a height of around 1,717 meters above sea level. Because the route is relatively short and not too steep, this active volcano is the most favorite trekking location for beginner climbers and foreign tourists.
The best time to start climbing Mount Batur is early morning around three in the morning. After traveling physically for approximately two hours, you can reach the peak area before a tinge of golden color appears on the eastern horizon.
The moment of sunrise from the top of Batur feels very special because it offers a serene view of Lake Batur and the majestic shadow of Mount Agung in the distance. If the air is clear, the silhouette of Mount Rinjani in Lombok can be seen from this point.
Another unique thing that you can experience at the top of Batur is cooking eggs or bananas using natural hot steam that comes out of the cracks in the volcanic rocks. This simple activity has always been a special entertainment attraction for climbers.
The Batur climbing route is dominated by volcanic sandstone and gravel which is slightly slippery when stepped on. Using footwear with good grip and bringing a headlamp will really help your night trekking run smoothly.
The beauty of the Kintamani landscape combined with the practicality of the climbing route makes Mount Batur worthy of being included in the list of mandatory visits when on holiday to the Island of the Gods. The views are definitely worth the effort of waking up early.
