To satisfy our craving for adventure and to check-off an item from our travel bucket-list, we decided to wake-up at 2 AM to hike up an active Volcano (Mount Batur) to witness a scenic sunrise.

Gunung Batur

The allure of hiking up Mount Batur, an active volcano, had us out of bed at 2 AM to reach the summit - an impressive 5,630 feet.

We made it to the top.

The physically demanding hike was totally worth it the moment we witnessed an unforgettable sunrise. The views were simply stunning.

Our attention quickly shifted to the cheeky monkeys begging for food, playing and wandering around the area where all of the hikers were clustered.

It is not everyday that you get to climb an active volcano. It was totally worth the long climb up.

Before we made our way back down we spent time enjoying the scenery and taking plenty of photos.

If you're planning on trekking ensure that you wear proper footwear to counter the sharp volcanic rock. There are plenty of loose rocks and shale and we almost slipped a few times.

Overall, we'd recommend the hike for those who are physically fit and adventurous.
