One of the most popular activities for holidaymakers and travelers in Bali is to hike the island’s incredible active volcanos. Though these peaks are scaled by tens of thousands of tourists every year, these routes are no walk in the park. Hiking Bali’s highest and most sacred peaks requires a level of planning, preparedness and the support of a local guide. For travelers who have put watching the sunrise from the peak of Mount Batur or Mount Agung at the top of their Bali bucket list, you’re in the right place.
Before you embark on the journey to the summit of these sacred summits it is important to know what you are getting yourself into. It is also important to take a moment to understand the history and cultural importance of both Mount Agung and Mount Batur for the Balinese people. Both of these peaks play an important role in modern culture and the fabric of the island’s ancient heritage.
