Mount Agung Sunrise Trek — Summit Bali's Highest Volcano

Evening transfer

At the scheduled meeting time, a driver will arrive at your hotel or villa. Please wait at the hotel reception or at the entrance to your villa. Once all participants have gathered, the transfer will depart for the foot of the volcano. Upon arrival at the parking area, your guide will meet you and provide flashlights for the hike.

23:00 Climbing the volcano

The ascent begins at 11:00 p.m. from Pura Pengubengan Besakih. The route will take you to an altitude of 3,142 meters above sea level. The climb to the summit takes approximately 6.5 to 7.5 hours. The first rest stop will be after about 45 minutes of hiking. The number of subsequent stops depends on the physical condition of the participants. During the first two hours, you will cover two-thirds of the route. The remaining third is the most challenging part: you will ascend a steep, slippery rocky slope, with an elevation gain of 1,900 meters.

At sunrise, you will reach the summit of the volcano. You’ll have about one hour to enjoy the breathtaking views and take photos. Afterward, you’ll begin your descent back to the base of the volcano, which will also take about 6.5 to 7.5 hours. The driver will be waiting for you at the parking area.

Return transfer

Once all guests have gathered, you will depart for your hotel. The arrival time depends on road traffic and the distance to your accommodation.
