Trek Remote Slopes of North Bali

📍 Transfer from Ubud – Kintamani (38 km): 1 hours 30 minutes Trekking Batur : 5-6hrs Dificculty : medium

This morning, wake up early and be transferred from the hotel to the starting point of the trek. 

Upon arrival, complete the safety briefing for the trek from the guide. The first section of today’s trek is through the jungle before ascending up to the volcanic rocky path. The pathway is mostly uphill but there are several opportunities to stop and rest. After approximately two hours (2km) of climbing, approach the top of the main crater.  This is a totally different terrain offering a wind-swept pathway with very few rocks and vegetation.

Around 06:00, while sitting at the top (1717 metres above sea level), witness the long awaited stunning sunrise over Mount Abang and Mount Agung. On clear days it is even possible to see Lombok’s Mount Rinjani in the distance across the Lombok Strait.

Tuck-in to a simple breakfast along with a hot cup of coffee or tea while enjoying the magnificent view. 

Start trekking down on a small and steep path to the West slopes of Mount Batur, stop on the way to a second crater that was created from the 2001 eruption. Continue down to reach the crater that resembles a smoking cone. Take time to observe the lava field surrounding the volcano. Your last portion of the trek will be carried out across the black lava seas of sand until the finishing point at the slope of the volcano. 

Upon descending to the bottom there is time for a dip in a local hot spring nearby the Lake Batur  (bring swimsuits and a change of clothes) before returning to hotel in Kintamani for some time to change and pack before check-out.

Enjoy the rest of day as leisure.

Today, set off on a trek from Trunyan Village to Muntigunung Village, located to the north of Lake Batur. These villages are located on the intensely arid northern slopes of Bali’s mountains with mesmerising views of Mount Agung and the island of Lombok. 

With the lead of the guide, arrive at the viewpoint after an hour of walking. Be greeted with the entire caldera and views of Bali’s north coast. After a refreshment, continue to descend to the highlight of this trek, Muntigunung Village. 

This area is administratively under the authority of the Karangasem regency. This high and dry area is very well-known as an undeveloped and poor area. With the nearest water source being six hours away and the terrain of rocky lava which is unsuitable for farming, the village has the harshest living conditions. With farming only possible during the rainy seasons, the people in Muntigunung Village struggle to make a living out of the land causing some of the people to become beggars in Bali.  

Please note: During the walk in Muntigunung, please do not offer help in the form of money, a meal or clothing. Instead, please help the community by purchasing the local products. 

After the walk, continue to drive to Prasi and enjoy an unforgettable camping experience with the guide. 

Enjoy a seafood spread for dinner, relax on the beach and enjoy the bonfire.
