Verified A Stunning Way To Start The Day!
Even with the late booking, Gusti, our driver and guide from the All Inclusive Ubud Tour (which is also worth doing), came through and gave us the opportunity to hike up the Batur Volcano! From where we were staying it was roughly an hour and a half drive to get to the base of the Volcano, which meant we had to leave at 2 AM to reach the peak for sunrise. At the base, we met with our hiking guide, Mantu and his wife who were very welcoming and helpful in our hike to the summit. The route we took was the faster out of the two, taking roughly an hour and 20 minutes, which included three small breaks along the way. The journey down was more of a gradual route, which was easier on the legs. For the hike, I would recommend wearing hiking shoes or shoes with a lot of grip as the loose volcanic gravel was our main challenge on the way up! Even with little sleep, the hike, the company, and the view are all worth the red stingy eyes and the jelly legs! Thanks to Gusti and our hiking guide, Mantu, we were able to create ever-lasting memories with the pictures to prove it! I highly recommend this tour, so glad we did it!
