Mt. Abang Trekking

The longest and hardest sunrise trek we run: higher than Batur, far quieter, and a genuine day's work. You set off through farmland and pine forest, then climb steeply to 2,152 m. On a clear morning the summit gives you the whole compass: Lake Batur below, Mount Agung along the ridge, Rinjani across the water on Lombok, and the north coast behind you. Come with some hiking behind you.
