Mount Agung Hiking Closure: What Travelers Need to Know

February 28, 2025

🚨 Mount Agung Closed for Hiking – Here’s What You Need to Know! 🚨 If you were planning to hike Mount Agung this week, we’ve got a heads-up for you—Bali’s most sacred volcano is closed to all trekkers until 2nd March 2025 for an important religious ceremony. It’s pretty common for Agung to be off-limits now and then, as ceremonies here take priority over tourism. This time, all hiking trails—including the popular Pasar Agung Temple route—are closed, and local guides won’t be taking any bookings. A quick reminder: you must have a registered local guide to hike Mount Agung legally. Bali authorities have been cracking down on tourists hiking solo, and a few have even been deported recently for ignoring the rules! So, if you’re thinking about hiking Agung when it reopens, make sure you do it the right way. Need an alternative? If you’re still keen for a sunrise trek, Mount Batur is open and offers an incredible (and slightly easier) climb. Not into hiking? Batur sunrise jeep tours are a super fun way to take in the views without the leg workout! Let us know—are you team hike to the top or team jeep with a coffee in hand? ☕🚙 #BaliTravel #MountAgung #BaliTrekking #BaliHiking #MountBatur #SunriseTrek #BaliTips #ChadAndMiaOfficial
