  This is a hike that you should not miss! Go with Bagus Bali, we are bless that our guide Jeta is a helpful and a good photographer. Thank you Jeta... read more for the wonderful experience, it is my wife 1st attempt to do a hike and you made the journey fun for both of us... truly enjoy this hike.

  Just a quick note to thank Wayan suar for the fantastic tour. Even though a bit cloudy the tour was great, avoided as much as possible other groups and showed... read more the best of the volcano. Thanks so much (and sorry for the delay on posting!)
Recommend this company and Wayan suar in particular for the trek.

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.

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 did the Mt Batur hike in early September and it was amazing! Picked up on time and when we arrived at a small cafe we were offered pancakes and... read more tea/coffee before being taken to the foot of the mountain where we were introduced to our tour guide Jata. He really made the experience, really chatty & gave us the option to go as fast/slow as we wanted. We were even able to choose whether we wanted to go up the slightly trickier or easier route. We chose the trickier and it was real good fun! As well as this we were joined by a lovely young boy Jero lanang who carries drinks in his bag for you to buy on the way up (really good price as well). When we reached the top the views were breathtaking and Jata prepared a lovely breakfast for us. The only thing I was worried about before the trip was being rushed back down but he gave us as much time as we wanted at the peak and helped us get some amazing pictures as well as feed the monkeys! The way down can be quite slippery but again Jata was super helpful. One of my favourite experiences since being in Bali and I would definitely recommend. Thanks again to Jata and Jero who really topped it off!
