Mount Agung Trekking
3 hours trekking to the sacred and highest mountain in Bali with beautiful sunrise from the summit.
Mount Agung is the highest mountain in Bali which has 3.142 meters high above sea level. At the bottom of Mount Agung, there are two large temples are called Besakih Temple, which is the largest temple in Bali and Pasar Agung Temple.
We can climb Mount Agung from various directions. The two shortest and most popular routes are from Pura Besakih (Besakih Temple), on the southwest side of the mountain and from Pura Pasar Agung (Pasar Agung Temple), on the southern slopes.
The easiest most common route to Mount Agung starts from Pura Pasar Agung, a 30 minutes drive from Selat village. It takes around 3-4 hours of ascension will arrive at the crater rim (2880 m). On clear day we can see the sun to rise behind the Rinjani in nearby Lombok with great views south and east. If you want to see the sun rise you can start at 2 AM.
You can enjoy the sunrise while having your breakfast that has been prepared on the spot. You are also able to take pictures around it.You will be able to see the oval-shaped crater by looking straight down into it which is about 500 meters deep. In addition, you can see on your south the Mount Rinjani on the neighboring island of Lombok. After you enjoy the beautiful scenery, you only have to spend 3 hours to go back to Pasar Agung Temple.
