A Mount Batur sunrise trek combined with a visit to hot springs is a popular and memorable experience in Bali, Indonesia. Here's how the day typically unfolds:
1. Mount Batur Sunrise Trek:
Departure Time: The trek starts very early in the morning, usually around 2:30 to 3:00 AM from your accommodation, depending on the location. The goal is to reach the summit before sunrise.
Trekking Details: The hike typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your pace. It's a moderate-level trek, but you'll be guided by experienced locals.
