Mount Agung Sunrise Viewpoint
Mt Agung is Bali’s highest and holiest peak that stands at 3,031 meters! The name translates to Great Mountain and it is located in the north-east region of the island. As you may or may not know, Mount Agung is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in all of Indonesia.
If you’re an early bird like me and want to experience an unforgettable sunrise, I highly recommend taking an early drive to the Mount Agung Sunrise Viewpoint at Bukit Cinta!

HOW TO GET TO MOUNT AGUNG SUNRISE VIEWPOINT
The journey time to get to the Mount Agung sunrise viewpoint at Bukit Cinta is a 2.5-hour drive from Denpasar. I left my accommodation at 4am to get to the viewpoint in time for the sunrise.
The best way to get around the island of Bali is on a scooter. You can rent scooters in the main tourist hubs throughout Bali including Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Denpasar, Ubud, and Uluwatu. Scooter rental is 50,000 rupiah ($5) per day or you can rent them on a monthly basis from anywhere between 600,000 rupiah – 700,000 rupiah. ($60 – $70).
If you prefer to travel by car, it is possible to hire a driver and a car for approximately 600,000 rupiah for the day. Most accommodations will be more than happy to help organise this for you.
When you arrive at Mount Agung sunrise viewpoint (Bukit Cinta) I guarantee you will be astonished at the incredible view of Bali’s highest peak. I hope these photos I took of this location inspire you to go and explore this awesome spot for yourselves.
