Your Batur Cycling Experience

Your day begins in the early morning with a private pickup from your hotel and a comfortable drive toward the Mount Batur trekking area.

At the starting point, meet your professional trekking guide, receive a short safety briefing, and begin your ascent under the stars. The trek to the summit takes approximately 1.5-2 hours, depending on your pace and trail conditions.

Reaching the summit before sunrise gives you the chance to watch the first light spread across Bali’s volcanic landscape. From the 1,717 meter summit, enjoy panoramic views of Lake Batur, the Batur caldera, Mount Abang, and Mount Agung as the sky gradually brightens.

The descent takes you through a different side of Mount Batur. In daylight, you can see the volcanic terrain, black lava formations, and steaming areas that are difficult to appreciate in the darkness of the early climb.

After the trek, stop at a local restaurant in the Kintamani highlands for a light breakfast, coffee, or tea while enjoying views of the volcano and caldera.

Once refreshed, meet your cycling guide and prepare for the second adventure of the day.

Your mountain bike journey begins in the Kintamani highlands and continues mostly downhill toward Tampaksiring. Along the route, ride through traditional Balinese villages, family compounds, flower gardens, local temples, coffee and citrus plantations, bamboo forests, and picturesque rice fields.

The cycling route offers plenty of opportunities to stop for photographs and discover everyday Balinese life. Your guide will share insights into local traditions, village architecture, farming, and the culture surrounding the countryside.

A support vehicle follows the cycling route, providing additional comfort throughout the journey.

The experience finishes at a local restaurant in Tampaksiring, where you can enjoy a well-earned Indonesian lunch before your private transfer takes you back to your hotel.
