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.

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

  We were not sure if we should go through with this because our 11-year old daughter was feeling sick, but she seemed to be on the upswing and my wife... read more was very excited about this, so we went ahead with it. It was definitely too strenuous for a weakened 11 year old. When I thought we would need to turn back, our friendly guide Jata offered our daughter a ride on his back and carried her halfway up the mountain! He was worried she would be too cold at the top so he arranged for a place for her to rest that had a beautiful view of the sunrise. I stayed with her and my wife and older daughter went to the top. Jata carried her most of the way down as well. He further took some great pictures for us and generally made what could have been a dud of an outing into an amazing day. The hot springs is the perfect after trek activity -- definitely recommended! More
