Indonesia Hiking Trekking

Being the largest archipelago in the world, with over 5200 kilometres stretching between the Asian mainland and Australia, Indonesia is a land of extremes. Thanks to its active volcanic landscape, plentiful islands, tropical jungles, and unique wildlife sightseeing opportunities (komodo dragons!), Indonesia is also one of the most beautiful countries in the world. This place has a lot of appeal for nature lovers, especially avid hikers and adventurers. If you’d like to experience this nation like a local, hire a guide to take you on an Indonesia hiking trekking tour.

If you’re starting out in Bali, exploring Mount Batur is a must. You can customize your tour to match your sense of adventure. Feel like a quick day hike? That’s easily done. Or maybe you’d rather spend a week trekking around the mountain? No problem! Mount Batur is one of the most sacred volcanoes in Indonesia, and it’s still very much active. You can access it from Batur village, in the Kintamani District. It stands 1717 metres above sea level and can be summited by physically fit hikers in about two hours. But the best way to do it? Trek to Mount Batur for an incredible sunrise view from the top. The scenery is spectacular, and you may literally be able to feel the earth moving beneath your feet. The sulfur from the volcano causes the sky to light up in a surreal red colour, making it unlike any other sunrise you’ve ever seen. It’s an early start to the day, though!
