Mount Batur
History
Mount Batur is an active volcano formed thousands of years ago inside a massive caldera created by ancient eruptions. It has erupted many times throughout history, shaping the surrounding lava fields and landscape seen today.
In Balinese Hindu culture, Mount Batur is considered sacred and closely connected to Pura Ulun Danu Batur, one of Bali’s most important temples dedicated to the goddess of water and fertility. Despite its volcanic activity, the mountain remains an important spiritual and cultural symbol for local communities.

PURA PASAR START POINT
At 1500m above sea level, located high on the slopes of Mount Batur, Pura Pasar Agung offers a cooler and more elevated starting point for the hike. The terrain quickly transitions into steep volcanic paths with loose rocks, dusty trails, and exposed sections, making the climb feel more rugged and physically demanding from the start.
JOURNEY TO SUMMIT FROM PURA PASAR
The journey from Pura Pasar Agung begins with steep volcanic trails and loose rocky terrain that steadily climbs above the surrounding landscape. As the elevation increases, the path becomes more exposed, rewarding hikers with expanding views of the caldera, lava fields, and nearby mountains along the way.
