Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking + Sekumpul Waterfalls + North Bali Scenic Stops
Experience two of Bali’s most spectacular natural attractions in one unforgettable full-day adventure. Start your journey in the early morning with a sunrise trek to the summit of Mount Batur, one of Bali’s most famous volcanoes, then continue north to discover the breathtaking Sekumpul Waterfalls, surrounded by lush tropical forest and dramatic mountain scenery.
This private combination tour is designed for travelers who want to experience Bali’s mountains, waterfalls, local communities, traditional food, and beautiful landscapes in one day.
You will be accompanied by local experts at both Mount Batur and Sekumpul Village, giving you a more authentic experience and allowing you to explore areas that many regular visitors do not see.
Early Morning Departure – 02:00 AM
Your adventure begins at approximately 02:00 AM, when our private driver picks you up directly from your hotel.
We then travel toward the Mount Batur trekking area. Depending on your hotel location, the journey takes approximately 1–2 hours.
Upon arrival, you will meet your local Mount Batur trekking expert, who will accompany you throughout the hike.
Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking
Begin your climb in the darkness and follow the trail toward the summit of Mount Batur.
Your local expert will guide you safely along the volcanic trail while sharing information about the mountain, local traditions, and the surrounding area.
The trek normally takes around 1.5–2 hours, depending on your pace and conditions.
As you approach the summit, the sky gradually begins to change color. Once you reach the top, find a comfortable place and prepare to experience one of Bali’s most beautiful natural moments.
Sunrise from the Summit of Mount Batur
From the summit, enjoy panoramic views over Bali as the sun rises above the horizon.
On a clear morning, you may see Lake Batur, Mount Abang, Mount Agung, Mount Rinjani in Lombok, and the surrounding volcanic landscape.
After sunrise, your local guide will prepare a simple breakfast at the summit, allowing you to enjoy your meal while taking in the spectacular mountain scenery.
After spending time at the top, begin your descent with your guide.
Continue to Sekumpul Waterfalls – North Bali
After completing the Mount Batur trek, meet your private driver and continue your journey toward Sekumpul Village in North Bali.
This is where the second part of your adventure begins.
Sekumpul is widely regarded as one of the most spectacular waterfall areas in Bali, with several waterfalls hidden among tropical forest, rice terraces, and green valleys.
Upon arrival, you will meet our local Sekumpul waterfall expert from the village.
Rather than simply visiting one viewpoint, your local expert will take you deeper into the area to discover the main waterfalls as well as several lesser-known and hidden waterfalls.
Explore Sekumpul Waterfalls
Walk through the beautiful countryside and tropical landscape surrounding Sekumpul Village.
Along the way, you can experience:
- Panoramic views of Sekumpul Waterfalls
- Tropical jungle scenery
- Rice fields and local plantations
- Traditional village surroundings
- Hidden waterfalls
- Natural pools and streams
- Local village life
- Beautiful photo opportunities
The route involves walking, stairs, uneven terrain, and some sections that can be slippery, but your local expert will accompany you throughout the experience.
Take your time to enjoy the waterfalls, take photographs, and appreciate the peaceful atmosphere of North Bali.
Local Lunch with a Waterfall View
After exploring the waterfalls, enjoy a fresh local lunch at a local restaurant or warung overlooking the waterfall landscape.
This is a wonderful opportunity to relax after the morning’s adventure while enjoying authentic Indonesian or Balinese food surrounded by nature.
You can enjoy your lunch while taking in the beautiful views of the surrounding valley and waterfalls.
Scenic North Bali Journey Back to Your Hotel
After lunch, the adventure continues.
Instead of simply returning directly to your hotel, we take a different scenic route through North Bali, allowing you to discover some of the area’s most beautiful and interesting landmarks.
Depending on your time, interests, and route, possible stops include:
Ulun Danu Beratan Temple
Visit the iconic Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, a beautiful water temple located on the shores of Lake Beratan.
The temple, surrounded by mountains and the lake, is one of Bali’s most recognizable landscapes.
Handara Gate
Stop at the famous Handara Gate, one of Bali’s most photographed landmarks.
The traditional Balinese gate provides a spectacular backdrop with the green mountain landscape behind it.
Other Scenic Stops
If time permits, we can also make additional short stops at interesting viewpoints, plantations, local villages, or scenic locations along the route.
The exact stops can be adjusted according to your interests, weather conditions, and remaining time.
