Mount Batur

Mount batur Our tour guide picked us up at 2am, we started our journey and stopped at a small cafe for banana pancakes and tea and coffee. We then made our way to the start point of the trek at the bottom of mount batur. We started the trek at about 3:45am. Our tour guide was really helpful, gave us torches and bottles of water. The start of the trek isn’t too bad, it’s fairly flat, and then you start to climb. The first half there is also a road so if you’re one who doesn’t want to do as long a trek you can get a lift to the half way point. At the halfway point the tel gets a lot harder. We were all beginners and it was a struggle for us to climb up this volcano and we only had nine trainers so not the best footwear but it was still achievable. The terrain gets very rocky and as it is a volcano some spots are quite slippery where it’s gravelly. We made it to the top around 5:35, so had around 50 minutes till sunrise. Our tour guide went to get our second breakfast which was included in the tour, however this was a bit random; a boiled egg and banana sandwich’s. We started to decent around 6:45am, we took the easier route down but this although isn’t as rocky it is very slippery due to the volcanic rock. We had to get our driver to collect us at the halfway point so make sure you’ve got their contact details incase you can’t make it back to the bottom as this is a tough trek. We finally made it back to our hotel which was in Ubud at 9am. It’s was a great Experience but I wouldn’t do it again and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who isn’t sturdy on their feet. #bali #volcano #mountbutur #balitrip #baliubud #ubud #ubudbali #balilife #mytripvlog #passionpassport
