Booked a Sunrise Tour of Mount Batur with Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking which I found on Trip Advisor. Communication from the start was great and I was kept informed of pick up time.
Our driver Putu Yudi picked me up from my hotel in Canggu as arranged. He was very friendly and navigated the busy traffic with ease.
Our guide was Gede Angga. What can I say about Gede?!? He is super friendly, funny, attentive and made sure we got up and down Mount Batur safely. Gede had a good spot for the sunrise. He is a gem.
We stopped off for breakfast which Gede carried and prepared, of warm breakfast sandwich, boiled eggs, fruit and cereal bar, when we were almost at the top.
It was much busier than I expected but didn’t feel over crowded due to the different tours staggering where they start.
Take layers as it can be colder to start and then again at the top but warm coming down. Also, wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty with the volcanic ash.
Make sure you book this trip!! It really is wonderful. The photos don’t do it justice.
