This private trek offers a quieter, more peaceful way to experience Mount Batur. Instead of the usual crowded trails, you’ll take hidden paths guided by locals from Kintamani who know the mountain like the back of their hand. While the summit is shared with other hikers, the journey up is calm and tranquil, making the trek feel more personal.You’ll start in the quiet pre-dawn hours, hiking under the stars, and reach the summit just as the first light reveals breathtaking views of villages, Lake Batur, and distant peaks. It’s Mount Batur the way it was meant to be experienced—peaceful, authentic, and unforgettable.Why this trek stands out: Local Guides Who Know Best: Trek with guides from Kintamani who know the mountain inside out and share stories you won’t find in guidebooks.Hidden Trails to summit: The trail to the summit of Mt Batur is super crowded.

Bring layers for the chilly morning.Fun Descent: On the way down, you’ll experience a unique highlight – sliding down a section of volcanic sand! Your guide will show you how to do it safely.Moderate Challenge: The hike is moderately challenging, but since it’s a private trek, you can take it at your own pace.

Jero grew up farming with his family in the shadow of Mount Batur, but the volcano always called to him. He and his cousins would spend hours exploring its slopes. Now, he shares that love with visitors, leading his team of local experts (some of those same cousins!). This is a story of passion, community, and how tourism can truly uplift local lives.
