Meet your driver/guide at the lobby; depart early to reach Mount Batur base before the pre-dawn trek start. A private car gives flexibility to keep to the early schedule and carry your trekking gear.
Begin the moderate pre-dawn hike to Mount Batur's crater rim to reach the summit for sunrise — spectacular volcanic landscape and lake views make this the highlight. Treks typically start between 2:00–4:00am; guides supply headlamps, water, and often light snacks.
Watch sunrise over the caldera, Lake Batur and Mt. Agung on the horizon — perfect for photos and panoramic views; volcanic steam vents and dramatic light make this unforgettable. Weather/visibility can change quickly; summit is best at clear conditions.
After descending, relax in Toya Bungkah's hot-spring pools with a view of Lake Batur to soothe sore muscles and warm up. Hot-spring facilities usually open from early morning (approx 6:00am) until evening, but check opening times for the chosen pool.
Enjoy a leisurely brunch with panoramic views of Mount Batur and Lake Batur; many restaurants serve Balinese and western breakfast options. Most hilltop restaurants open early for sunrise guests but verify kitchen hours with your driver.
Head east to Lempuyang Temple in Karangasem — the drive crosses scenic eastern Bali landscapes and typically takes around 1–1.5 hours from Kintamani. Allow extra time for traffic and photo stops; the temple complex is uphill with stepped approaches.
Explore one of Bali’s oldest and most iconic temples; the 'Gates of Heaven' viewpoint frames Mount Agung in a dramatic reflection photo when conditions are right. Temple grounds are open to visitors (ticket booth commonly 6:00am–5:00pm), dress respectfully and bring a sarong (one is often available to rent or borrow).
Have lunch at a local warung or café near Tirta Gangga, where you can taste fresh seafood, nasi campur or Balinese specialties and refuel after the morning's activities. Many eateries in this area serve until mid-afternoon; check opening times if you prefer a particular place.
Head west toward Ubud to visit the famous Tegallalang rice terraces — the drive offers rolling countryside views; expect around 1–1.5 hours travel depending on traffic. Plan arrival before late afternoon to catch the best light.
Stroll the iconic stepped rice paddies and enjoy rice-field viewpoints; stop at Karsa Kafe or a similar terrace-side cafe for a coffee and sunset colors over the paddies. Tegallalang access hours are typically ~7:00am–6:00pm; go earlier or late afternoon to avoid mid-day crowds.
Drive back to the resort in Kuta, passing through central Bali; expect heavy traffic near Denpasar/Kuta in the evening, so plan about 1.5–2 hours. Use this time to rest or enjoy roadside views—your driver will drop you at Anvaya Resort.
Dine near your hotel at Bumbu Bali for authentic Balinese cuisine (open approx 11:00am–11:00pm) or order a relaxed meal at Anvaya Resort's restaurant; after a full day the local specialties are a great finish. Reservations recommended for popular restaurants during high season.
