Bali Mountain Retreat
Treks and Tours

Mt.Batukaru Summit Trek
(Difficult)

 

Trek the second highest mountain in Bali, the sacred Mt Batukaru.
This trek can be made in one day for active trekkers, it is considered difficult as the last hour near the summit has quite steep sections and is challenging.
Starting from 800m the trek will climb to 2.275 m, the second highest point in Bali.
An english speaking guide will be provided to help.
This trek is available during dry season, june - september, weather permitting, by booking only. The trek begins at 7.30 am so we can arrive back in daylight at about 4.30 pm.
Amazing scenery from the summit includes mountain peaks, far away Java to the west and Lombok to the east.

We limit numbers on this trek as the Mt Batukaru summit trek enters sensitive rainforest in the nature reserve. Relatively unknown as a trekking feature of Bali, we respect local traditions and use local guides.


Your guide will point out amazing plant life, beautiful butterflies and if the forest allows, monkeys and the Kijang who live here. Beginning at the Pura on the mountain, the Mangku ( Hindu priest) who protects the temple will perform a short ceremony to the mountain's spirit.

The changing landscape as you climb the mountain is evident in the flora and fauna. Moss, prehistoric tree ferns, wildflowers, creepers, orchids, butterflies and many birds can be seen in the moist primary forest (montane forest).
