Miljøbevisst soloppgangstur til Mount Batur

我們的導遊Gede是個對這份工作很有熱忱的年輕人，隨時注意我們的狀況，並介紹當地景色以及帶我們走另一條路回去，並會熱情的幫我們拍照；這次的重點就是火山徒步，很幸運的見到了火燒雲的日出，在我們欣賞日出的同時，Gede去幫我準備早餐，讓我們可以一邊欣賞美景一遍吃著早餐 PS:參加這個行程，需要有一定的體力，因為開始走沒多久就會開始走在一種火山灰或是沙土的地上，比較滑，而且坡度不小，不過能夠完成整段旅程看到美景，一切都是值得的

The hours were hard: we had to leave the hotel at 1am and it was another 2 hour drive to mount batur. The hike was strenuous and it was freezing in the top before sunrise. You definitely need a warm jacket (better be wind proof). But the view of the sunrise was so fabulous!!! It was the most memorable and best thing I did in my 10 day bali trip. Our guide (sadly forgot his name) took incredible panoramic photos for us. I think everyone needs to do this once in their lifetime. We’re not very fit people, so the private tour suited us. We were a little bit worried when our male driver picked us (two girls) up at 1am and drove us into the dark roads in the middle of nowhere (there were very few cars before you got to the parking area), but everything turned out to be ok.

평소 체력이 없어서 걱정했는데 투어 하길 잘 했단 생각이 들어요! 그만큼 일출 너무 예쁘고 아름다웠어요! 새벽 2:30 정각에 드라이버 Mr.Ketut과 가이드 Mr.Gede가 호텔로 픽업 와줬어요! 트레킹 하는 동안 제가 많이 힘들어했는데 가이드 Gede가 계속 상태도 살펴주고 위험한 구간은 잡고 올라가거나 내려올 수 있도록 세심하게 신경써줘서 완벽한 일출을 볼 수 있었어요! 가이드가 정말 배려심이 좋아서 투어가 성공적이었던거 같아요! 추울까봐 많이 걱정했는데 등,하산 시에는 반팔-긴바지면 충분했고 정상에서는 추워서 기모후드 입었더니 저한테는 딱 맞았어요. 평소 등반을 좋아하시는 분, 발리 일출의 아름다움을 경험하고 싶으신 분들 추천합니다!!! 단, 평소에 체력을 조 길러서 오시면 좋을거 같아요^^;;; 등산을 즐겨하는 저희 엄마는 하나도 힘들지 않았다고 하셨거든요!

Love the visit to the top of Mount Batur. the view from the top was gorgeous beyond words and you could see the sunrise at the right timing. there are options to take motorcycle taxi (at a fee, excluded from the package) to go up the main bulk of the climb. the tours to coffee plantation, water fall and rice terrace was beautiful as well. our driver was very accommodating as to where we would like to spend more time or where we would not like to stay as long.

Katut/Ari was an amazing guide. He let me go at my own pace, answered all my questions and took lots of amazing pictures as well. We took lots of short breaks but were still able to make it in time for the sunrise. We got to the top in 1hr40mins. He also explained about Balinese culture and I learned a few words. Overall, it was an amazing experience! I was a solo traveler but would love to do it again with friends someday!

best hike ever!! make sure you dress warm and wear clothes you don’t care about getting dirty. best guide ketut arus!!

Even though we started off the day really early, it was a wonderful (even though extremely tiring uphill climb) experience. Our lovely guide Marta was very friendly and extremely pleasant. We were very much inspired by how he get through all the climbing without any difficulties. After enduring for 2hrs, we made it to the top and watched the beautiful sunrise. Marta prepared eggs, bread and some hot chocolates for us as we settle down to catch the breathtaking view (literally breathtaking cause of the climb). We didn’t have any strength to walk back to the starting point so we paid the locals extra to get us back to the starting point on bikes. That was another experience that I think everyone should try as well

We were guided by an experienced guide for the hike. He was polite and friendly. He offered help to carry bags too. The driver was very helpful and he helped us took a lot of photos at the tourist spots despite the hot weather and the long queue. Kudos to both of them!

I would like to thank Berig, who picked me up for the Mount Batur trip, our guide Ketut, and the driver who took us back to the accommodation (I’m sorry I couldn’t remember his name). Before starting the hike at dawn, they provided water, headlamps, walking sticks, and jackets at the meeting point, which made the preparation much easier. Our guide Ketut was very kind and attentive. He kept pace with the group and led the hike in a safe and well-organized manner. On steeper or more difficult sections, he even held our hand to help, which made me feel very safe and supported. Thanks to him, even beginners can reach the summit without much difficulty. The breakfast was also satisfying, and overall it was a very enjoyable hiking experience. For solo travelers like me, this tour was very reasonably priced compared to others. Highly recommended.

MADD trek .. it’s not very easy you need to be physically fit .. but all worth for the sunrise view
