Mt. Batur Sunrise Trekking

This is the trip most people come to Kintamani for. You meet your guide in the dark, walk up through volcanic sand and rock with a headlamp, and reach the rim in time to watch the sun come up over Lake Batur and Mount Agung. Breakfast is cooked in the summit steam, and there is time to walk the crater afterwards and see the vents up close.
