What should I wear for a Mount Batur sunrise hike in Bali, and how cold does it get before dawn?

TL;DR

For a pre-dawn Mount Batur hike, pack warm layers: a hoodie or fleece, long trousers and a windbreaker. It can feel cold and windy in central Bali before sunrise, but warms up quickly after dawn, so zip-up layers and a lighter change of clothes work best.

What the community said

Bring proper warm clothing for sunrise at Mount Batur rather than relying on a thin windbreaker: a hoodie, long trousers and a wind-blocking outer layer are useful.

A zip-up hoodie or jacket is practical for the hike: keep it closed during the cold start, then unzip or remove it once temperatures rise after sunrise.

Pack a lighter change of clothes for a night trip to Mount Batur. Central Bali can be chilly before dawn, while conditions become noticeably warmer after the sun comes up.
