Been wanting to hiking here for so long. My heart so full got to hike an active volcano and get up close and personal with one of Bali’s most sacred... read more mountains, sunrise at the peak of “Mount Batur” is truly INSANE All the while being assisted by a professional guide, Bli Tana and Bli Komang. Not only a great hiker but very welcoming and good convertionalist. Both also took some great shots of us on the top and along the way. Best!

  Amazing experience - Amazing view on top. Tana was a great guide and told us so much about the Balinese culture. Remember a jacket since it’s cold on top.

  We started out with a little stumble out of our beds as we were late for the pickup. But our driver was very patient and asked us to take our... read more time to get ready. We reached a coffee hut at 3.20am for coffee and banana crepe. It was getting cold as we were closer to the peak. We met up with Wayan Suar, our guide and set off at 3.40am. It was a gradual hike at first. Until we reach a steeper point where it's loose rocks and gravels. A stick would be good to help with stamina and balance. After 1 hour 40 minutes, we reached the peak of Mount Batur. Wayan guided us to a hut that was installed at the peak and we had hot coffee and breakfast there while waiting for the sunrise. The view was breathtaking and we were above a sea of clouds! We moved higher towards the crater rim of the mountain to get beautiful pictures. Wayan has many creative ways to take photos and also explained to us about the terrain of the mountain. He also showed us the natural gas steaming out from the side of the mountain. Wayan decided we could take the medium track back and we were so happy to walk along the crater rim to see the different sites of the area. We could also see a slightly smoking Mount Agung and Mount Rinjani from where we... We started out with a little stumble out of our beds as we were late for the pickup.

Wayan decided we could take the medium track back and we were so happy to walk along the crater rim to see the different sites of the area. We could also see a slightly smoking Mount Agung and Mount Rinjani from where we stood. The sky was very clear that day!

As we descend we came upon the gravel loose rocks again and Wayan helped to "slide down" without tripping. We passed a forest and down to tomato, spring onion and chilli plantations! The view was spectacular! We also saw a pigsty at the side.

We reached the car park at 9am and we really appreciate the guidance given by Wayan. We bid our goodbyes and went to Sekumpul Waterfall.

It took us about 1.5 hours to reach the place as it is up north. The place was secluded and we were greeted by a young man who lived in the village. He guided us the way down, all 230 steps to the waterfall. The waterfall is 90 meters drop, and there's about 4 waterfalls at the same area. The view is unobstructed and amazing!

As we didn't bring our swimwear or sandals, we took off our shoes and just waddle and wash up at the shallow streams. But it would be nice to swim as it is only about 1 meter deep. We came back up for lunch at 12.30pm and bid our goodbyes to the young guide and head back to Kuta.

It took about 2 plus hours to get back to Kuta. Our driver was very kind to bring us chilli hunting at local supermarket, and we managed to find the small red and green chillies!

It was a very enjoyable trip for us and thank you for all the arrangements made! More
