Experiência de Trekking ao Nascer do Sol no Monte Batur e na Caldeira

Service: Kudos to Kadek (driver) and Endrik (guide). They have been a great company for this tour. They both speak good English and are very polite. We also learned a bit of their culture and traditions during our conversation with them 👍 The Hike: For the sunrise view. We woke up and start our travel around 2AM from Ubud. It takes more or less 1.5 travel time. We started our hike and reach the rest stop at around 4:30AM (too early for the sunrise), so we decided to pass the time at one of the made-up shed. The view at the top was great. Lot's of sea of clouds and you can see other Mts as well such as MtRinjani & MtAgung. The hike itself was just a short one and not that difficult. But be prepared as part of the trail is rocky and made of lose rocks. Be careful especially when going down. Overall, it was a great experience to do when in Bali.

It was a great mountain climbing trip, waking up at 2:00 AM was definitely worth it. This trip wasn't to climb Mount Batur, but a mountain located between Mount Agung and Mount Batur. The path was more difficult than expected, especially before dawn, with a steep ascent for 50 minutes. However, our guide, Mr. Arinata, was very kind and helped us along the way! When we reached the summit, the breakfast prepared by our guide was also very rich. The boat ride back was also interesting, and Lake Batur was even more spectacular. It was a very unforgettable journey!

It is strongly recommended that the title clearly state that the sunrise viewing is not at the summit of Mount Batur, to avoid misunderstanding! Also, the final coffee plantation visit could be removed; it would deduct 30 points from a 100-point coffee tour, feeling like the forced consumption on a tour bus. Overall, it was very good. The shuttle driver was punctual, and the guide was enthusiastic and meticulous. In addition to introducing the mountain scenery, the explanation of the temples visited on the way down and the gods of Bali was also excellent!

If you're up for an adventure and a challenge, I highly recommend the overnight stay. It was very cold at night, so bring warm clothing, but the sunset, night sky, and sunrise were worth the camp! (Do note that you have to be lucky to catch both sunset and sunrise).

The view was really nice. Beware though that this route seems to be different from the more popular route, as one is Mount Batur and this one is Mount Batur Caldera. The guide’s English could use some improvement though.

픽업기사와 바투르산 가이드는 따로예요 칼데라호 들어가는 입구에 내리면 바투르 정상에 올라가는 가이드 마중나와있어요 별이 쏟아질거 같이 정말 이뻤구요 사진에 못담아오는게 너무 아쉬웠어요 칼데라호 지나는 배는 우기라 그런지 젖어있었는데 가이드가 대충 닦아줬구요 전 그위에 작은 손수건 같은거 챙겨가서 깔고 앉았어요 ㅎㅎ 등산 시작 전까진 좀 춥구요 올라가기 시작하면 다 벗어던지고 싶을 정도로 땀이.... 엄청 가파른 편인데 너무 힘들어하니 5분걷고 5분 쉬면서 일출전에 겨우 도착 올라갈때 정말 욕나올 정도로 힘들고요 올라가면 욕이 쑥 들어가게 이뻤어요 가이드가 사진찍어주는 테크닉이 남달라서 인생샷 많이 건졌구요 (이건 가이드 복불복인거 같아요 저희팀 말고 다른 가이드랑 온 팀은 사진은 많이 찍었는데 나중엔 저희 가이드한테 사진 부탁하더라고요) 아침은 생각보다 나쁘진 않은데 아침이라 뭐 안들어가더라고요 위에서 실컷 사진 찍고 저희가 원할때 하산했구요 내려갈땐 더 미끄러웠어요 (트레킹화 장착했는데도 미끄러움) 처음 도착지에 있는 템플까지 가이드해주고 인사하고 가구요 픽업기사가 바투르산을 마주보는 곳 정상까지 차로 데려다줘서 거기서 사진찍고 커피농장갔다가 호텔로 돌아왔구요 생각보다 피곤하지 않아서 호텔에서 쉬려던 일정 변경해서 놀러 나갔어요 저흰 나름 팁이라면 - 생각보다 추우니 무게 많이 안나가는 긴팔 따뜻한걸로 챙기세요 산 오르기 시작하면 짐이라.. - 일반 운동화 미끄러울수있어요 - 올라가면 햇빛피할곳이 별로 없었던거 같아요 - 물티슈 챙기시구요 - 짐은 최대한 가볍게 - 화장실 깨끗해요 - 커피농장은 기대없이 가세요 좋은 경험이었던거 같아요 올라갈땐 왜 돈내고 이걸 하고 있지란 생각하는데 도착하면 아 한번은 올만 하구나 라는 생각이 들더라구요 그치만 두번은 안해요 ㅎㅎ

Guide Ari Thank You! 편안하게 일출을 볼 수 있고, 가이드와 운전사가 친절합니다. 바투르 일출 트래킹이 마감이라서 이걸 택하게 되었는데 너무 만족했습니다. 상당히 높은 언덕의 90%까지는 가파른 길을 차를 타고 올라가고, 5분정도 걸어올라가면 칼데라 호수, 바투르산, 롬복 등 360도 전망이 다 보이는 스팟에 도착합니다. 2시간 정도 해가뜰때까지 대기하며, 이때는 조금 쌀쌀하니 바람막이와 긴바지를 입고오시는걸 추천합니다. 일출보면서 따뜻한 커피나 차를 한잔 마시고, 정글 길을 따라 40분정도 호숫가까지 내려갑니다. 길이 조금 위험할 순 있지만 가이드가 친절하게 안내해줘서 안전하게 내려왔습니다. 길이 조금 질퍽하니 미끄럽지않은 운동화를 신으셔야합니다. 내려오면서 나뭇가지나 풀에 약하게 베일 수 있으니 긴팔 긴바지는 필수라고 보시면 됩니다. 호숫가에 다 도착하면 작은 배를 타고 동상에 가서 사진을 찍고, 차를 타고 조식을 먹은 뒤에 호텔로 돌아오는 일정입니다. 운전사, 가이드 모두 친절하며 바투르 일출 트래킹에 비해 훨씬 편안하게 일출을 봐서 매우 만족했습니다.

Pick up and drop off was on time. Our young guide Jill was great! He took great care of us making sure we have plenty of rest throughout the climb.. it takes abt 45 to 50mins to climb up the top.. but the view was worth it.. do wear shoes that have good grip as parts of the climb was quite steep..

If you have a trip to Bali, I will totally recommend this be a part of. I'm really thankful for my guide Endrik, she is so professional and patient. Always take care of my safe and introducing the Volcano, which makes this trip perfect.

Overall, the experience was seamless - driver, Yongki, fetching us at 2am to the start point and the guide who was really patient with us as we were absolute beginners for such trek. This trek has rather steep and slippery slopes with loose rocks, gravels and sand/Ash. Good sports/hiking shoes and walking sticks are recommended. Carry light but do bring a warm jacket for the top as it gets very cold.
