Not only enjoy the beauty of the beaches and traditional cuisine, but when visiting Bali, you can also embark on morning treks to witness the stunning sunrise. Here are some recommended sunrise trekking spots in Bali that are worth a try.

3. Asah Hill

Asah Hill is ideal for enjoying the sunrise due to its towering height and its protrusion towards the sea. Below, you can see Bias Putih Beach, also known as Virginia Beach Bali. 

Additionally, from this hill, you can see Kuan Island, a whale-shaped island often used as a photography object by visitors. 

If you want to experience sunrise trekking while camping on this hill, you can opt for the Trekking Package offered by local tourism managers. 

Choose the cliffside trekking route. The sunrise trekking on Bukit Asah takes about 2 hours, starting with a nasi jinggo breakfast and ending with the refreshing taste of young coconut water.
