Our trekking to 5,600 feet above the sea level.
Mount Batur is the most popular trekking or hiking activities in Bali, Indonesia. It is the most exciting outdoor adventure that we’ve done. This is my first-time hike in an International country.
Well, I consider that this is the most exploring day and since my husband is one of the hikers and nature lovers even before. He motivates and advises me to do this activity to learn and explore new areas and the thing is walking is the best exercise for our body and mind by roving around and boost the adrenaline too.
Just a reminder that the volcano is located at the center of two concentric calderas northwest of Mount Agung on the island of Bali. But Still, there are lots of visitors to go here and see the beautiful clouds and glorious sunrise of the inter mountains. You can also do the aerial shots with incredible videos and photos at the top of the summit.
Our Exposure
And this is it! On the most exciting day, we wake up early at 3:00 in the morning because of our service car. Pick up us around 3:30. There is also a Group Trekking Tour organization with Local Trekking Operator Services in Bali and a Trekking guide site which manage by original Balinese people.
My husband and I, decided to take a private assistant tour since I was a beginner and never tried to take any hiking activities even in our country and besides Mount Batur is one of the steep cliffs in Indonesia.
We started the trekking at 3:30 in the morning, we saw a lot of hikers with different nationalities are also enjoying this challenging ventures. Because Mount Batur is one of the famous places that have natural beauty and highly recommended for everyone who wants a vacation to Bali.
We want to share our experience that hiking to Mount Batur is also not as easy as people think. We need to be well-prepared from the day before you have to know every little thing about the trekking trip this is also important for you to learn about Mount Batur’s difficulty and the best things to do to avoid any problem you might face during the hiking activity.
Feeling tired after hiking?
Batur Natural Hot Spring is here!
In addition to our package of trekking, we also have hot spring activity in the day tour package between the hike up to Mount Batur. We enjoy dipping our bodies in the Batur Natural Hot Spring in Lake Batur. The place is nice and clean. You will love the ambiance in the surrounding area. The hot water will help relax your muscles after a tiring climb at Mount Batur.
The staff here is friendly and helpful. Welcome drinks, towels, and lockers are all included in the tour package. The pools have varying degrees of warmth and hotness. The water from these hot springs flows into the lake. You can see the mesmerizing view of the volcanic landscape from the pool.
There is a lot of travel tour in Bali, but you can check first the packages of each tour operators and the prices that they offered.
We are coffee lovers!
If you are a coffee lover, this is the perfect place. Our tour was full of excitement because our next destination is a small Balinese coffee plantation. In this tour, you can learn about how the local coffees being made and tasting the most expensive coffee in the world (the Luwak coffee). Luwak coffee came from the poop of the palm civet. It is recommended by many tour operators to visit this coffee plantation in Bali.
You can find cocoa, coconut, or other tropical plants such as medicinal plants or herbs on this plantation. It’s pretty cool to see the coffee-making process from the raw materials until the final product. You can also see the beautiful landscape with a free cup of coffee from the plantation.
You can also buy some coffee packages from their store the prices depend on the flavor of the coffee, hot chocolates, herbal teas you like. But for us, we brought the Avocado coffee, and the taste is different because the ingredients are coconut milk, pandan, and coffee.
In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
