Before dawn the trail is a ribbon of headlamps winding up black volcanic sand, and the crater rim waits like a stage. Climbers push through cool air as the horizon lightens, and the lake inside the caldera begins to catch the first color. Mount Batur’s summit offers a compact, theatrical sunrise: steam rising from vents, the caldera lake reflecting early light, and Mount Agung’s silhouette offshore.
