Keep this Mount Batur map handy to make sense of the trails and terrain

This is the goal for most sunrise trekkers. It’s 1,717 meters high, reachable in about 1.5 to 2 hours if you're starting from the standard trailhead. The views stretch over the lake and caldera, and on a clear day, you’ll see Mount Agung and even Lombok’s Mount Rinjani.

This is Bali’s largest lake, formed inside the caldera and fed by volcanic runoff. Locals fish here, some canoe across it, and most tours drive along its edge on the way to or from the summit or hot springs.

A small lakeside village that acts as the starting point for most sunrise treks. It’s quiet at first light, but after the hikes, it’s a stopover spot for breakfast or soaking in the nearby hot springs.

These are the two main hot spring resorts on the lakefront. The water here is geothermally heated, and most tours include a stop after the hike. If you’re tired or just cold from the summit, this is where you want to be.

This temple is dedicated to the lake goddess and was rebuilt after the 1926 eruption. It's not inside the caldera but nearby in Kintamani. Most day tours make a stop here, and it’s a good place to understand how locals live with the volcano.

These are the main roadside viewpoints overlooking the caldera. If you're not hiking but still want to see Mount Batur from a distance, this is where most visitors stop, click photos, and sip coffee with a view.

Not marked on every map, but some jeep tours will take you here. These are hollow spaces formed by fast-moving lava and can be explored with a guide and a flashlight.

The main trail to the summit begins at Toya Bungkah, but there are a few other access points. Some trails are steeper but shorter. If you're not going with a guide, knowing which trail you’re on matters a lot.

Less traveled and slightly wild, this offbeat route begins near Kintamani on the western side of Mount Batur. You’ll pass through thicker vegetation and more natural, uneven terrain. It’s not the easiest climb, and it isn’t commonly used for sunrise tours, but if you’re up for a less curated trek with a unique angle on the caldera and crater then you should opt for this one.

This lesser-known trail starts near the Toya Devasya hot springs, making it a smart pick if you’re planning a post-hike soak. It’s a gentler climb, and while not a top choice for sunrise treks, it offers a peaceful hike with views of Lake Batur and morning steam rising from the springs. It’s  perfect if you’re staying nearby or want to pair your trek with a relaxing hot spring experience.
