If you're looking for a sunrise hike away from the usual crowds, this private trek up Mount Agung is the ultimate adventure. Unlike the more popular Mount Batur, which gets packed with travellers, Mount Agung offers a more challenging but rewarding experience—perfect for hikers who love a good challenge and want a more peaceful, immersive journey. The trek follows the Besakih Temple route, the toughest but most scenic path up Bali’s highest peak at 3,000m.
You'll start in the dense jungle, using your hands to climb some sections, before breaking through to rocky terrain with sweeping views. By the time you reach the summit, the sun will have fully risen, revealing breathtaking panoramas of Bali, Lombok, and the surrounding volcanoes. It’s a truly unforgettable way to start the day. This is best suited for experienced hikers or adventurous travellers who don't mind a tough climb in exchange for spectacular views, a sense of achievement, and an experience that few get to have in Bali. The terrain varies from dense jungle to rocky paths, with some steep sections requiring hand support. Although challenging, it’s doable for those with a good fitness level. Expect a rewarding but intense climb.
