🌟 Invited Experience: Mount Batur Sunrise 🌟 

Come with us on this amazing Klook tour that brings us to Mount Batur, a UNESCO Global Geopark.

The entire experience with Klook was seamless and so enjoyable! It was really easy to book the tour using the Klook app and the tour operator was so responsive to our queries.

🌟 Hotel Pick Up

When we arrived in Bali, we received a WhatsApp message from the Klook driver that he will pick us up at 2.30am on the booked date from our hotel. He arrived promptly and we snoozed for 2 hours in the car while he brought us safely to the base of Mount Batur. 

🌟 4WD Up Mount Batur

We climbed into a cool 4WD for a super fun bumpy ride up the mountain! The driver sure was skillful! 

🌟 Hike Up Mount Batur Summit

The 4WD is unable to bring us to the summit of Mount Batur, although you can still view sunrise from the 4WD stop point. We opted to add on a 30 minute hike up to the summit. Well, it was supposed to be a 30 minute hike, but we took an hour to reach the summit! The trail was rocky and steep at some points, but the awesome guide was there to help us every step of the way! 

🌟 Mount Batur Sunrise

The summit hike was worth every huff, puff and pant! The sunrise was glorious! The guide made us boiled eggs, banana sandwiches and hot tea for our breakfast. Ahhhh this is the simple good life!

🌟 Black Lava

We descended back to the 4WD stop point and the driver drove us to view the Black Lava area for more amazing Insta-worthy shots!

This Klook Mount Batur Sunrise Tour is a Must do when you visit Bali! The drivers and guides are all super reliable and they can help take great pictures too!

What are you waiting for? Plan a short trip to Bali and book your Mount Batur Tour on the Klook app today!
