Most people hike Mount Batur at sunrise, which means crowds at the summit and a very early wake-up call. This Private Tour Mount Batur Sunset Trekking Guided Tour flips the script — perfect if you’re not a morning person or just want a quieter, less touristy experience. You’ll hike up in the late afternoon, catch the sun dipping behind Mount Abang and Lake Batur, and descend as the stars come out. No crowds, no rush — just golden light and tranquil views.
Unlike the sunrise tours that can feel a bit like a race to the top, this sunset version is all about a slower, more peaceful pace. You’ll still get the same gorgeous views from the summit, but with way fewer people around. Plus, watching the volcano glow under the changing light adds a magical touch you won’t get with sunrise.
This is great for couples after a romantic experience, solo travellers who prefer quieter moments, or anyone who’d rather sleep in and avoid the sunrise crowds. If you like the idea of seeing Bali from above, without the bustle, this is your kind of hike.

Mount Batur Sunset Trekking is a guided hike to the summit of Mount Batur, an active volcano in Bali, offering a spectacular sunset view. This experience provides a peaceful and less crowded alternative to the popular sunrise trek, allowing hikers to enjoy breathtaking scenery and cooler evening temperatures.
The trek is of moderate difficulty and suitable for most people with a reasonable fitness level. The hike to the summit takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, with some steep and rocky paths. A guide will accompany you to ensure safety and provide assistance along the way.
The entire trek takes around 4 to 5 hours, including the ascent, time spent at the summit enjoying the sunset, and the descent back to the starting point.
The best time for Mount Batur Sunset Trekking is during the dry season, from April to October. During these months, the weather is more predictable, with clearer skies and lower chances of rain, ensuring the best visibility and a safer hiking experience.
It is recommended to wear comfortable trekking shoes with good grip and bring a light jacket or sweater as temperatures can drop at the summit. A flashlight or headlamp is essential for the descent after sunset. Other essentials include enough drinking water to stay hydrated, a small backpack to carry personal items, and a camera or smartphone to capture the stunning views.

Popular options include a Mount Batur Jeep Tour to explore the volcanic lava fields, an ATV adventure through rugged terrain, or a visit to the natural Batur Hot Springs to relax after the hike.
The weather on Mount Batur can vary, but it is generally cooler at the summit, especially in the late afternoon and evening. During the dry season, conditions are mostly clear, providing excellent views. However, during the wet season, there is a higher chance of rain, which can make the trails slippery. Checking the weather forecast before your trek is advisable.
To prepare for the trek, get enough rest the night before, wear comfortable and breathable clothing, and eat a light meal before starting.

Bringing necessary items like a jacket, flashlight, and enough water will also enhance your experience.
