o que preciso saber antes de subir num vulcão para assistir ao nascer do sol? Por que escalar um vulcão para ver o nascer do sol? Caminhar por algumas horas em total escuridão pode ser mágico. Por um momento você não faz ideia onde você está indo nem tem ideia do que tem ao seu redor. Mas de repente, a luz revela aos poucos onde você está. Como num passe de mágica você já está espantado e arrepiado com tudo que estava a sua volta e você nem estava enxergando. A escuridão dá lugar para a luz e daí você logo lembra que às vezes na vida, encontrar a luz significa passar por uma grande escuridão. Essa sensação pode ser uma grande lição de vida. Monte Batur, quem? O Monte Batur é um vulcão famoso em Bali. Ele está situada na região da Bangli e está localizado no centro de duas caldeiras que compartilham o mesmo eixo. O lado sudeste da caldera tem um lago e a caldeira interna é datada de 23.670 e 28.500 anos atrás. Ao subir no topo do Monte Batur você irá ver o lago e os outros dois vulcões: Agung na frente e atrás dele o Agang. Como funciona? • Iremos buscá-lo na sua acomodação. • O horário irá depender da região que você está na ilha, podendo ser entre meia noite e duas e meia da manhã. • O objetivo da caminhada é assistir ao nascer do sol do Monte Batur com 1.717 metros. A programação funciona assim: 3h30 café da manhã (banana frita + café / chá quente) 3h45 chegada ao ponto de partida 4h00 início da caminhada ao topo do Monte Batur 6h15 chegada à cratera do cume para assistir ao nascer do sol 8h00 início da descida 9h00 chegada no ponto de partida (estacionamento) 9h30 visita a plantação de café incluindo degustação 10h00 chegada no hotel • Você irá receber uma lanterna, uma garrafa de água pequena e um lanche (ovo cozido, pão e banana). • A escalada ao topo dura cerca de duas horas, em plena escuridão. Nesse momento sua lanterna vai ser sua melhor amiga. • A subida é uma mistura de terra e pedras, muitas delas soltas - tome cuidado e preste atenção onde pisa. DICAS • Tente seguir exatamente o caminho da pessoa da sua frente. Basicamente siga as pegadas da pessoa da sua frente para não correr o risco de pisar em alguma pedra solta. Se está dando certo para ele vai dar certo para você também. Se ele pisar em alguma pedra solta, você já sabe onde não pisar. • Não precisa ter pressa. Muitas pessoas estarão subindo também e a programação funciona direitinho para todo mundo chegar ao topo na hora certa para ver o nascer do sol. Como chegar? Esse passeio precisa ser feito com uma agência autorizada. Eles irão levá-lo até a base onde a caminhada começa. Nesse momento, um guia local vai ser responsável pelo seu grupo. Depois das devidas apresentações começa a subida propriamente dita. Os guias locais são profissionais treinados para guiar caminhadas pela Association of Mount Batur Trekking Guide. Eles acompanham todo o trajeto e dão todo o suporte. Uma ótima oportunidade para você aprender mais sobre a cultura local. Todos eles falam inglês e até outros idiomas. Você irá perceber que em Bali nem todas as pessoas locais falam bem inglês, então, aproveite para fazer perguntas sobre a vida cotidiana deles e aprender mais sobre a cultura balinesa. Quem pode fazer a trilha? • Você não precisa ser atleta ou ter experiência profissional com trilhas. Mas você é uma pessoa que gosta de trilhas. Você já fez algumas trilhas na sua vida antes de querer fazer uma trilha à noite. Em outras palavras, essa experiência não vai ser sua primeira trilha na vida. Esse tipo de passeio é para pessoas que gostam de atividades ao ar livre e já fizeram outras trilhas antes. • A caminhada não é para iniciantes mas também não é complicada. Você não precisa ter um condicionamento fÍsico de atleta. Mas também não é uma pessoa totalmente sedentária. O que levar? • Aproveite esse momento único com as roupas certas. Lá em cima venta bastante e você não precisa passar perrengue. Use tênis, jaqueta e calça comprida. • Facilite sua escalada ao topo. Não leve uma mochila muito pesada. • Leve água e snacks para você. No topo do vulcão eles vendem água, café, chá e snacks mas é sempre bom ter com você algo que você já sabe que gosta.
The trek to Mount Batur was one of the most memorable experiences during our trip. The hike took around two hours but the view from the summit made it completely worth it. Watching the sunrise over the volcano and lake was beautiful. The hot springs afterward were relaxing and a great way to finish the tour.
The view from the top was amazing. A lot of other people up there, with a lot of noise. But it was absolutely worth it!
I had a great experience with walking up to Mount Batur for sunrise. Our guide was Wayan Madya, who did an excellent job. As well as my driver Kadek, very nice and helpful and safe driving. Thank you!
The view from the top was gorgeous, but that was about the only pleasant thing about the trip. 1. The driver was in a hurry to get us to our first destination since we were running late when one group of guests were a no-show. He drove rather unsafely. 2. The breakfast was unremarkable - some fried bananas and coffee 3. The package comes with local guide, but when we arrived it was clear there was no guide lined up for us. We got stuck with another small group. The guide didn't look too happy taking us on. 4. Get ready to hike for 2.5-3 hrs with a long trail of people in front and behind you up the volcano with many small rocks that will make it slippery when you descend 5. Honestly and the worst part, I feel like there was very little hospitality or customer service, unlike what I experienced nearly everywhere else in Ubud. Every "staff" member we encountered did their jobs begrudgingly. It all felt like a manufacturing line. We didn't feel cared for in the least.
As a solo traveler it was so easy booking online with sunrise trekking. The communication between the tour company, my drivers and the guide was impeccable. I loved the start of the tour when we ate fried bananas and coffee. I was able to meet the others on my tour group and we had the most amazing time together. Worth it!
We woke up at 1 AM, were picked up by 2 AM, ate the provided small snacks at 3 AM, and started our hike at 4 AM. There were already several other tour groups there. The hike starts out on a paved road, then becomes very rocky and loose once you start the main ascent. They provide flashlights for the hike, and the lights from the people ahead of us created what looked like a path of stars along the volcano. The sunrise and view were incredible. There are two main viewing spots, so if you don't want to climb all the way to the top you don't need to. We had a local guide who made sure we made it to the top safely and then left us to enjoy on our own once there. A small breakfast was provided. After sunrise ended and we went back down, she was waiting for us to help us all the way back to the bottom. We didn't have walking sticks, but they would have really helped. Such a memorable experience!
The sunrise sells itself but the viator organisation could have been better. We were late starting so our group was constantly playing catch up or stuck behind some of the hikers struggling. We should have skipped the fried banana stop and gotten to the start earlier. The "breakfast" was a piece of white bread, a hard boiled egg and a brown banana. Hardly breakfast. We were so late, we didn't make it all the way to the summit before the sun rose so we just stopped where we were to enjoy it. The three guides that were hiking with us were incredibly kind and wonderful, just the organisation getting to the mountain could have been improved.
The tour was well organized. Our guide was informative and helpful when afraid of heights. A definite must try when in Bali!
Got in contact with Rodrigo to book for the Sunrise trek at My Batur. He was efficient and organised the whole tour for my sister and I. I would definitely recommend Onmywaytobali.
Draw back as everyone has said is the insane amount of people being herded to the top. The park management should really look at changing how people climb so it's sustainable. Also don't be a dummy and bring your child along, this walk isn't physically exhausting but is physically challenging with the terrain and visibility. Not suitable for children, overweight, or elderly people.
This was a really great experience. The guides were really lovely and took some great photos for us. The only problem was there was some miscommunication about pickup location so we ran about half an hour late but our guides took some shortcuts to help get us there on time. Apart from that everything went well and the sunrise was amazing. Well worth the hike and the amount of people trekking to the top means that there is no rush up and so you don't need a high level of fitness to be able to do it. Its steep but very achievable for people who don't usually hike.
The team went above and beyond to ensure pickup early in the morning went smoothly. While the hike itself was incredibly crowded, the view at the top was worth it. Great value - would recommend selecting this tour to experience Mt Batur.
I used WhatsApp to book the tour with On My Way to Bali. I stayed in Kuta and I was matched with further people from the area who also wanted to do the tour. Unfortunately, they messed up the transportation so that nobody picked me up. However, they organized a private car and guide for me so that I was still able to do the hike and was up on the mountain in time to watch the beautiful sunrise. I had to wait for 2.5 hours till the car came but since I was still able to do it so that the final experience was still very good.
On my way to Bali offers extraordinary adventures for a fraction of the cost of other tour companies while still maintaining the utmost professionalism. Rodrigo, the owner, is an incredibly kind and wonderful human who is always available to provide details and information about whatever adventure you choose to go on with On My Way To Bali. Even after completing my tour with On My Way To Bali, Rodrigo was still offering his suggestions and advice for places to eat, things to see, and destinations to visit during my trip to Bali. He truly made me feel valued as a client and made my trip to Bali way more enjoyable than it already was. I highly recommend On My Way To Bali for anyone who wants to experience the best adventures in Bali for an unbeatable price.
Rodrigo, from On my way to Bali has organised everything for us, from our arrival to Bali to the activities we did throughout the trip. We knew how much we would be spending before doing any activity, the transport was always there waiting for us to take us to the places we needed to go. The transport to Mount Batur picked us up at 2:30am, the tour guides were very friendly and helped us during the trekking and also took many photos for us. We get a simple breakfast to eat while watching the sunrise. I highly recommend them, because I didn’t have to worry about anything, they basically organised my whole trip in Bali and to the islands. They went above and beyond the expectations. Thank you
Trekking Mount Batur was such an amazing experience. What made it even more enjoyable is that it was perfectly organised, there was no stress involved. On My Way to Bali organised transport and grouped us with such amazing trekking guides that were so helpful. Highly recommend booking through OMYTB If you’re looking to experience Mount Batur.
Rodrigo is hands down the most amazing contact in Bali. He has the best contacts, speaks multiple languages, is 24/7 available, polite, and professional. Every time I go to Bali I contact him straight away!!! Don’t miss out and book through some company that doesn’t care about your Holliday. Book through some you can trust!!
I have been to several places in the world and can prove that this team is the best I have seen in action. Ultra punctual, wide knowledge of the area, careful in all procedures. The whole team is amazing!! Just relax and enjoy!!! I’ve been all over the planet, and I may say for certain that if you choose this team, you are about to have the best experience of you life. Great team, unbelievable support.
Une chouette expérience mais fortement gâché par le monde qu'il y a. En démarrant le trekking, on voyait déjà une file de gens presque jusqu'au sommet, ce qui vous oblige à aller au rythme des gens devant vous... Mais le pire c'est la descente, on est resté sur place pendant bien 20-25 min, c'était extrêmement lent.
Great service, from the choice of the tours, even during the visits. Super reliable and punctual.
