The trek to Annapurna Base Camp has long been seen as one of the best hikes in the world. Wandering through the Himalaya in Nepal, the trail takes backpackers through remote mountain villages, over high passes, and through scenic valleys, before eventually arriving at the base of the 8091 meter (26,545 ft) peak. It is a spectacular, breathtaking walk that rewards trekkers in many ways. The video below gives us a glimpse of what that hike is like.

Join us for a sunrise trek to the summit of Mt. Batur (1717 meters) and experience the awesome beauty of an active volcano. Trekking in the cool, early morning darkness (torches, hiking sticks and wet weather gear supplied, if needed), we guide you on the one to two hour ascent up a 5km-long slope (challenging, but not too difficult if you go at a gentle pace) to arrive in time to witness a glorious sunrise and experience the stunning morning views of the surrounding crater and lake. Various steam vents of a live volcano adds to the excitement of the sunrise.
Join knowledgeable and experienced hiking guides for this stunning trek up Bali's most popular volcano – Mount Batur. We start from my home in Toya Bungkah village (famous for the volcanic hot springs) and ascend to the highest peak and crater for a glorious sunrise and stunning morning views. While we are there, you will enjoy a simple breakfast of tea and eggs cooked in volcanic steam. During our descent, we will explore the three younger craters and the most recent lava flows while we take in the amazing volcanic landscape.
