Experiência de trekking ao pôr do sol no Monte Batur em Bali

The driver, Respi, was kind, friendly, and punctual :) It was nice to chat with her. As a young couple who are fit but have never hiked before, this was challenging as it was all uphill. It took us about an hour to reach the top. Honestly speaking, we felt very unsafe because it gets narrow and slippery. We are thankful for the hiking instructor for looking out for us and helping us up, preventing us from slipping. The lunch was made in the kitchen they had there, just a comforting meal :) When we reached the top of Mount Batur, the instructor also showed us the volcanic activity ongoing which was really cool! Unfortunately, as it was too cloudy, there was no sunset and it drizzled here and there. I gets cold up there so do bring a windbreaker or sort! The hike down was very slippery and dark, we were honestly afraid that we would slip and die hahaha. We hiked down for a tough 20minutes and asked for a jeep because we did not want to risk it. The jeep cost us IDR 400,000.

The driver, Ayas and his wife, picked us up from our hilltop villa and drove us to Batur. Our guide, Kodak, led us up the mountain along a small path, which was covered in red lava rocks and black soil. The ascent was quite challenging, as it was an unpaved trail. Halfway up, we encountered a friendly little cat with a mole on its left ear. I petted it, and then saw it again at the summit. I wonder which path it took to climb up? I fed it the yolk of 1.5 hard-boiled eggs. Besides hard-boiled eggs, our guide also made us banana sandwiches and brewed coffee. The only downside was that we couldn't see the volcano due to the heavy fog. It was already dark when we descended, and the guide gave each of us a flashlight, which made the descent much easier. Overall, it was a very special experience that requires a high level of physical fitness, and I would recommend it to anyone interested.

The Mount Batur sunset trek was a great experience that blends adventure with tranquility. The trail was barely crowded, which is what we were looking for. The trail is moderately challenging, but well worth the effort. As you ascend, panoramic views of Lake Batur and the surrounding volcanic landscape begin to unfold. Reaching the summit just in time for sunset was magical—the sky transforms into a canvas of warm hues, casting a surreal light. The guide was knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring safety. She patiently waited for us whenever we slowed down. Whether you're a nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful escape, this trek is a must-do. Highly recommended for couples, solo travelers, and small groups looking to experience Bali from a truly elevated perspective.

The hike up can be a little challenging, but once you're at the top, wow, it's so worth it.

Tack vare vår fantastiska guide, Wayne, fick vi en oförglömlig soluppgångsvandring på Mt. Batur. Från början till slut var Wayne tålmodig, uppmuntrande och otroligt stöttande, särskilt när vi navigerade den branta stigen i mörkret. Hans lugna vägledning gjorde klättringen mycket mer hanterbar, även för oss som inte vandrar så ofta. På toppen överraskade Wayne oss med en varm och tröstande frukost – ångkokta ägg, färskt bröd och en kopp varmt kaffe som kändes som ren himmel i den kyliga bergsluften. Det var en så omtänksam gest och fick hela upplevelsen att kännas ännu mer speciell. Vi vill också ge ett stort tack till vår chaufför, Mangku. Han var punktlig, vänlig och körde oss säkert och smidigt även under de tidiga morgontimmarna. Hans varma leende och genuina omsorg fick oss att känna oss verkligt välkomna på Bali. Rekommenderar varmt både Wayne och Mangku om ni planerar denna upplevelse.

El conductor llegó a nuestro hotel puntualmente y nos encontramos con nuestros guías Respi y Melly en el punto de partida. Son guías muy amables y profesionales, y nos presentaron todas las plantas y el paisaje a lo largo del camino hasta la cima de la montaña. Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra excursión de senderismo.

We had the absolute best experience on this sunset tour. Firstly, our driver Aldy was so amazing and nice and made the 2.5 hour drive there from Seminyak and same back go so quickly! Our guide up Mt Batur was incredibly accommodating to our pace, and at the top made us hot tea, snacks, and we even got to cook eggs from the heat of the volcano and eat them!! 10/10 experience, would highly recommend and was amazing value for money. Was totally the highlight of our 9 day Bali trip!!

La primera parada antes de la caminata fue la plantación de café gestionada localmente. Nuestro guía de café, Komang, estaba bien informado y nos contó todo sobre cómo los agricultores locales hacen que la cosecha de café, cacao y té sea sostenible. ¡También un excelente menú de degustación! Estaba lloviendo durante este tiempo y al principio temíamos que la caminata se cancelara, pero afortunadamente la lluvia cesó mientras nos dirigíamos al pie del Monte Batur. Esto fue seguido por una increíble caminata al atardecer por el Monte Batur, y esto a pesar de las condiciones nubladas y con niebla. Todo esto fue gracias a nuestra guía Yuli; su joven y curiosa prima Putu también se unió a nosotros. Si vas a Bali durante la estación seca, te recomendamos esta caminata porque durante el 90% del tiempo, éramos los únicos en el sendero y tuvimos un encuentro con otro grupo a solo 15 minutos de la cima (ellos estaban bajando). El refrigerio que tuvimos en la cabaña de la cima fue el final perfecto: té caliente, sándwiches y huevos duros calientes después de ver la caldera. Un extra para la caminata al atardecer: las hermosas luces del valle de abajo y del lago Batur. 10/10 lo recomendaría para evitar multitudes y hacer ejercicio.

El atardecer en la cima del Batur fue excepcional gracias a la combinación de dos factores: un guía turístico muy amable, servicial y con una personalidad encantadora, y el hermoso clima de ese día. Vistas espectaculares ⭐ Atracción altamente recomendada.

Sebagai seorang pelancong solo dan pertama kali ke Bali, saya sangat menikmati tur ini yang diatur dari awal hingga akhir. Sopir menghubungi saya 2 hari sebelumnya untuk ketenangan pikiran dan keamanan saya di sana. Bahasa Inggris sederhana dapat dimengerti. Perkebunan yang kami kunjungi bersifat pribadi dan jauh dari kerumunan turis, yang sangat menyenangkan. Tidak ada tekanan untuk mengeluarkan uang dan mereka ada di sana untuk memungkinkan Anda bersantai menikmati lingkungan. Rekomendasi utama untuk Putu jika Anda mencari perjalanan yang tenang seperti penduduk lokal. Saya menghubunginya lagi untuk mengantar saya ke bandara. 👍👍👍 Meskipun pendakian menanjak dilakukan di tengah hujan lebat dan kami tidak mendapatkan pemandangan matahari terbenam sama sekali. Saya menikmati bertemu dengan pelancong lain dan betapa terbukanya semua orang untuk berbicara!
