My 9 y.o. girl, my brother and I wanted to avoid the crowd, so we tried something different. We did the Sunset/Sunrise Camping with Bagus Bali Sunrise Trekking. ... read more The team had been excellent in all aspects. Communications via WhatsApp were prompt, clear and good English. Nengah (Boss) made all the arrangements to pick us up, send the guide to our guesthouse, a porter to bring our tent and cook dinner for us at the top of the mountain. We are very impressed with his team.
Camping overnight at the top on Mt. Batur was fun, except it was cloudy and chilly when we were there. Still we had great sunset and sunrise in the morning.
Dinner was the best local food we had in the area. Fried lake fish, eggs, veggie soup and rice.
I strongly recommend the camping if you want a different experience. We started the hike at 3.30pm and took the more challenging route, we enjoyed the wonderful view on the way up and avoided the motorbike on the dirt road (the easier route). More

Hot drink and second breakfast is provided at the top. It is really really cold at the top so make sure you take multiple layers to be able to enjoy the sunrise!! We opted out of the hot spring but the trek was enjoyable all the same. Would recommend.
