Day Before the Hike
- 8:00 PM: Prepare your hiking gear, including warm clothing, comfortable shoes, water, and a flashlight or headlamp. Make sure you have a small backpack for your personal items.
- 10:00 PM: An early bedtime is recommended so you can rest well before the early morning start.
Hike Day
- 1:30 AM: Pickup from your hotel. The exact time may vary depending on your hotel's location in Bali. Make sure you have everything you need and are dressed in comfortable clothing.
- 3:00 AM: Arrive at the starting point of the hike near the base of Mount Batur. Meet your guide, receive a brief orientation, and begin the hike.
