A good place to start hiking would be the four main volcanoes on the island. These include Mount Agung, Mount Merbuk, Mount Batur and Mount Bratan. Mount Agung is the most sacred of all mountains and is also the highest. Therefore Mount Agung presents the greatest challenge as far as hiking is concerned. Due to the challenging terrain, it is advisable for visitors to take an organised tour.
