Volcano Kintamani Trail (Mount Batur Day Ride)
Kintamani, Indonesia
Overview
A guided day ride on the volcanic terrain around Mount Batur, over black sand dunes and lava fields with views across the caldera. Half day is about four hours and full day about eight hours, covering 50 to 60 km. The trail is adapted to riders from beginner to advanced and starts and ends at LakeView Bali in Kintamani.
The Volcano Kintamani trail runs across the black sand and lava fields around Mount Batur, which is the ground most people picture when they think of dirt biking in Bali. Riding is 50 to 60 km depending on the package, between roughly 389 and 1,245 metres of elevation, with about 660 metres of climbing and a similar amount of descent. The surface is mostly deep volcanic sand and lava rock with open dune sections you can jump and long sightlines across the caldera. The trail is graded beginner to advanced and the guides adapt it to your level, so it works as a first time on a dirt bike as well as a day out for someone who already rides. The half day option runs in the morning and takes around four hours around the Mount Batur landscape. The full day is around eight hours and adds the deep forest and sandy riverbeds of the Forest Kintamani trail. Everything starts and finishes at LakeView Bali.
