Born on the Mountain. Guided by the People.
We’re not a city tour agency. We’re the locals who grew up on Batur’s slopes — guiding travelers up the same trails our grandparents walked, for the same sunrise they worshipped.
A Family Tradition
It started in 2015 with a simple idea: share the mountain we love with the world — the way it deserves to be shared. Not as a crowded tourist attraction, but as a sacred place with stories worth telling.
Our founders were born in the villages surrounding Mount Batur. They climbed the summit before they could read, learned the trails from their fathers, and memorized the sunrise rituals passed down through generations.
Today, we’ve grown into a licensed tour operator under PT Bali Ventur Tour — but we’ve never stopped being the same mountain kids who fell in love with the sunrise at 1,717 meters.
What We Stand For
Three principles that guide every trek, every interaction, every sunrise.
Respect the Mountain
Leave no trace. We carry down every piece of trash, keep groups small, and honor the local rituals before each trek. Batur is sacred — we treat it that way.
Respect Our Guests
No rushed itineraries, no hidden fees, no tourist-trap stops. Your pace, your photos, your experience. We’re guides, not salespeople.
Respect Our Community
Every rupiah goes back to the villages. Our guides are paid fairly, our porters are insured, and our suppliers are local. Tourism should lift everyone up.
From One Guide to Thirty-Two
A decade of sunrises, milestones, and the moments that made us who we are.
The First Trek
Wayan guides his first group of 4 Australian backpackers up Batur. They leave a 5-star review that changes everything.
Licensed Operator
Formally established as PT Bali Ventur Tour. NIB registered, all guides KPH (Kintamani Guide Association) certified.
Pandemic Pivot
Closed borders, zero tourists. Team pivots to reforestation — planted 2,400 trees on degraded Batur slopes during lockdown.
Jeep Tour Launch
Introduced 4×4 Jeep Sunrise Tour for guests who can’t hike — elderly travelers, young children, photographers. Now 40% of bookings.
5,000th Trekker
Reached 5,000 happy guests from 47 countries. Still the same mountain kids — just with more stories to tell.
Specialists, Not Generalists
Every guide on our team specializes in a type of experience. Pick the one that fits your vibe.
Summit Trekkers

Jeep Drivers
Licensed 4×4 drivers with mountain-specific training. They know every black lava photo spot, every sunrise viewpoint, and every safe route over the caldera.
