This private tour is perfect if you want to explore some of Bali’s best nature spots in one relaxed and scenic day. Start with a visit to Tegenungan Waterfall — one of Bali’s most popular and picturesque falls, where you can cool off or just enjoy the sound of rushing water surrounded by lush greenery. Then, head to the iconic Tegallalang Rice Terrace for a scenic stroll and those postcard-perfect views of cascading rice fields.
In the afternoon, make your way to Mount Batur for a guided sunset trek. You’ll hike up in the golden hours of the day, reaching the summit just in time to watch the sun set behind the mountains with sweeping views over the crater and Lake Batur. It’s quieter than the sunrise hike and just as stunning — with no early wake-up call!

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.

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.

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.
