Getting There

  • Public Transportation

    If you are in Ubud, take a local bemo (minibus) from Ubud to Kintamani. The bemo will drop you off in Kintamani. From there, you can hire a local guide or join a trekking group that organizes sunrise treks to Mount Batur. Make sure to arrange your trek in advance, as it is a popular activity. The meeting point is usually near the base of the trail at Jalan Pendakian Gunung Batur.

  • Motorbike Rental

    If you're comfortable riding a motorbike, rent one in Ubud or any major town in Bali. Head north on Jalan Raya Ubud, then take the road towards Kintamani. Follow signs for Mount Batur. The trek starts at Jalan Pendakian Gunung Batur in Songan A. Make sure to leave early in the morning (around 2 AM) to reach the starting point in time for the sunrise.

  • Tour Operator

    Book a tour with a local operator that includes transportation from your hotel in Bali (many hotels in Ubud offer this service). They will typically pick you up around midnight and drive you to the base of Mount Batur for the trek. This is the most convenient option if you want a guided experience and don't want to navigate public transport.
