"If you want to move a little more on holiday, you have the unique chance to take a hiking tour from Ubud to Batur, one of Bali's two large volcanoes, where you hike up the volcano for the sunrise. But beware: The tour usually starts at 1 a.m. – after all, you will be picked up from your accommodation and then driven to Batur with your group (about 20min). You can find offers for a tour litteraly everywhere in Ubud – just choose the one that suits you the most.
Price: 15€-20/person (snack + breakfast + trasfer + tour)
TIP: if you are about 5 people, you have the chance to have your own guide. We had to team up with a family that had a very hard time with the climb, because of which it took us much longer than we wanted.
Insider: if this is not your first hike, you can also make your own way to Batur. The trail can be found easily due to the many people if you arrive at the same time as the tours start.

"The views from Mount Batur are well worth the uphill hike and early wake up call. To do this hike you will need to book a tour guide and be ready to go at the base of the volcano by 2am. When you get to the top you'll enjoy a sea of clouds with the included breakfast (a banana sandwich, a hardboiled egg, and coffee or tea). The hike down is just as pretty as the view from the top. You walk among the clouds on a steep ridge - at times it feels other worldly!
If you are not able to do the hike, there is an option to be taken up the volcano be Jeep!
I included a link below to one tour guide company that offers both the hike and the jeep. You can find many other companies on websites like Trip advisor.
Note: While Mount Batur is considered an active volcano, it has a relatively low level of volcanic activity and is closely monitored by local authorities to ensure the safety of visitors. "

"Precio : 375.000IDR, super guay la experiencia
A las 2.10am nos cogieron en nuestro hotel en Ubud, coche compartido con 4 personas más y fuimos hasta donde empieza el volcán. Nos dieron el desayuno y empezamos la ruta con un guía que nos asignaron.
La verdad que hay muchísima gente y subes uno detrás de otro asi que no se hace difícil ya que no van muy rápido.
Las vistas desde arriba son INCREIBLES
Eso si, aunque la subida la hagas en tirantes por el calor, arriba hace MUCHO frío y viento asi que lleva algo de abrigo (recomiendo ir en largos y llevar una sudadera)
En lo alto del volcán también venden café, chocolate caliente y snacks
Y aquí también hay monos pero les puedes dar de comer a la mano y serán los más felices del mundo"
