The Batur caldera has been called one of the most beautiful in the world, and locals often refer to this trip as ‘trekking with the gods’. Once at the top of the caldera wall you really do feel as though you are in a sacred space where the peaks of mountains break out above the clouds, the the ocean spreads out on one side and the lake on the other, and the rising sun paints everything in vivid orange and yellow hues.
Your tour starts at Bali Sunrise Villas in Toya Bungkah village with hot drinks and a quick briefing from your English speaking tour guides. We will then take a walk down to the lake for our boat journey to the tiny village of Pulak. The trek is relatively short, and is a great option for beginner trekkers or those looking for something slightly less challenging than Agung or Batur.
Once we get to the top you’ll be blown away by the incredible panoramic views that the rising sun reveals. Look to the left and you will see the rugged peak of Mount Agung, Bali’s most sacred mountain, as well as the ocean and coastline of East Bali. Look to the right and you will see the cone of Mount Batur and the crater lake below. On a clear day you can also see all the way to Mount Rinjani on Lombok and the Gili islands.
After we soak up the sunrise views, we’ll continue our journey along the caldera crater past many authentic Balinese mountain villages. Finally we descend to Pulak, and take a traditional canoe back to the villas.
