What does the IDR 400,000 Join/Share package from Ubud include?
For many visitors staying in Ubud, Join/Share trekking is the simplest value option. The usual quoted package is around IDR 400,000 per person including pickup and drop-off. You travel with other guests and join a group trek led by a local guide, rather than having a guide exclusively for your party.
- Pickup and drop-off from your Ubud accommodation
- Join/Share Mount Batur sunrise trek with a local trekking guide
- Mount Batur entrance ticket
- Flashlight and trekking pole
- Welcome drink, such as coffee or tea with a traditional Balinese sweet
- Bottled mineral water
- Breakfast served at the summit
A complimentary Balinese coffee plantation stop may be offered on the return journey. It is a bonus stop, not a paid inclusion you need to add to the trekking price. If you want the hot spring, budget another IDR 150,000 per person. The add-on includes the hot spring entrance, towel, and locker.
For independent travel, the trekking-only rate is IDR 350,000 per person; arrange your own transport to basecamp. See how to get to Mount Batur from Ubud.
How much does a private Mount Batur trek cost from Ubud?
Private trekking starts from IDR 375,000 per person. You have your own official local guide and can move at a pace that suits your party. Private transport is charged separately because the vehicle cost is shared across the people travelling together.
As a working example, two people choosing a private trek at IDR 375,000 each would pay IDR 750,000 for trekking. If private pickup and drop-off from Ubud is quoted at IDR 550,000 per car, the total would be IDR 1,300,000 for two people before any hot spring add-on. Adding the hot spring for two people adds IDR 300,000, making that example IDR 1,600,000.
Always confirm the exact transport rate for your hotel and date. The private transport cost is per vehicle, not per person, so it can make more sense for a couple or small group than for one traveler. For more context on route length and timing, read how long the Mount Batur climb takes and what time the trek starts.
Is pickup from Ubud included?
The IDR 350,000 Join/Share rate is trekking-only. The usual Ubud Join/Share package is about IDR 400,000 per person with pickup and drop-off. Private trekking transport is quoted separately per car.
Shared pickup from Ubud is usually around 2:00–2:30 AM; private pickup is commonly around 2:15 AM. Exact timing depends on your hotel and the route. Send your accommodation name for a confirmed quote. For more planning help, see Mount Batur distances from Bali’s main areas.
What does the hot spring add-on cost?
The natural hot spring add-on costs IDR 150,000 per person. It is optional, so you do not need to pay for it if you would rather return to Ubud after trekking. The fee includes entrance, a towel, and a locker. Allow roughly 1.5–2 hours for the visit, depending on the day’s plan and conditions.
For example, a couple booking Join/Share trekking with Ubud pickup would pay about IDR 800,000 for two people. Adding the hot spring would bring the estimated total to IDR 1,100,000 for two. A private group’s total will differ because private transport is priced per car. Read our guide to whether the Mount Batur hot spring is worth adding before deciding.
What is the schedule when starting from Ubud?
Pickup from Ubud is usually around 2:00–2:30 AM, with the hike starting around 3:30–4:00 AM. Many groups reach the summit near sunrise, usually around 5:30–6:00 AM, then have breakfast before descending. Timing varies with weather, trail conditions, and group pace. Read what to wear before sunrise and how difficult the trek is.
Join/Share or private: which is better value?
Choose Join/Share if price matters most, you are happy to meet other travelers, and you can follow the group’s pace. It is a popular fit for solo visitors because the guide and transport costs are not reserved for one person alone.
Choose private trekking if you want your own guide, more flexibility with pace, or are travelling with family or friends. Remember that the lower starting price per person does not include the private vehicle. Compare the full amount for everyone in your party—not just the per-person trekking fee. Our detailed Join/Share and private trekking comparison explains the trade-offs.
If hiking is not right for you, a Jeep sunrise tour is another option, but it is a different experience rather than a cheaper version of trekking. See the Mount Batur Jeep sunrise price guide for a separate cost breakdown.
Are there extra costs to check before booking?
Check whether your quote includes transport, entrance ticket, guide, breakfast, water, and trekking equipment. Jacket or glove rental may cost extra. Conditions can change with weather, so read our rain-day guide and consult UNESCO’s official Batur Global Geopark page for information about the area’s geological landscape.
