The caldera of Mount Batur was below me, the lake shining under the light of the morning sun.
I sat down, my muscles still aching from hiking Mount Agung and soaked up the view. I had convinced Wira from wiranurmansyah. Hiking Mt Agung had taken half of the night. It had taken more than eight hours to reach the summit. I was tired, exhausted even, but happy. The view of Mount Agung in the morning sunlight made the journey worth it.
Let me share what to expect from the hike up Agung Volcano. The path to the top of Peak 3, the highest peak of Mt Agung. Mount Agung, Bali, rises up over 3, meters above sea level. The peak of Agung volcano is the tallest point on the island.
Like Mount Olympus the history of the volcano is entwined in myths and legend. Many still believe that the Hindu God Pasupati formed the volcano. On the slopes of Mt Agung is Besakih, the most important Hindu temple on the island. The second thing that you need to keep in mind is that Mount Agung is an active volcano. You should check the activity levels of the volcano, before hiking Mt Agung. You can check the activity levels for all of the volcanoes around Indonesia here.
Standing at the top of Mt Agung meters above sea level. There are two main routes for people hiking Mount Agung. One trail is from the South.
This route leaves from Pura Pasar Agung and ends at the crater rim. The second route is from the West and leaves from Pura Besakih start point is Pura Pengubengan and goes to the summit of the volcano, this is the trail I had taken. The Pura Pasar Agung trail takes between hours to climb depending on your fitness level.
The trek starts at 1, meters above sea level and ends at Mount Agung crater rim, which is 2, meters above sea level. Out of the two trails this is the more popular route. It is the easier and shorter climb. If you take this route then you will start the hike at around am. The Pura Besakih trail takes hours to trek to the summit. The trek is more difficult that the Puru Pasar Agung trail.
The trail starts at 1, meters and takes you to the absolute summit of Mount Agung 3, meters above sea level. The bonus of this route is that there will be almost no other tourists at the summit. Wira celebrating after conquering the volcano. Hiring a guide for Mount Agung is relatively simple. While I hired a guide through a personal contact, there is an authorised trekking association.
The guide explained that there are two types of guides. One group work as guides for international tourists and the second group work as guides for domestic tourists.
While there are two groups, the price is the same, the only difference is that the international guides can speak a second language. While it is possible to hike Mt Agung without a guide I would advise against it the guide was telling me that a lot of Russian tourists do hike Agung without a guide. The route to the top of Mt Agung is easy to follow. However, it would be very easy to fall and injure yourself and that would be a big problem if you are hiking without a guide.
Climbing Mount Agung is a lot harder than climbing Mount Batur. Mt Agung is also further away from the popular tourist towns in the South of the island. Agung and if you are planning to drive there you will need to leave at night. Whichever route you take I would definitely recommend staying close to Sideman village, which is within an hour of Mount Agung.
The view of Mount Abang and the caldera from the summit of Mount Agung. Whichever route you take hiking Mt Agung is a tough climb.
There are three sections to both trails. The first section is through tropical forest. I do not suggest this unless you are fit with good condition and have great willpower. Usually starts around 2am, up at the top around 6am for sunrise at some c degrees and views of Bali and surrounding islands with other volcanoes peaking through the clouds. Absolutely stunning. Will do this again if Agung decides to calm down a bit.
Been closed for hiking due to near eruption for a while now. I did this hike on , we arrived by 10am to the bottom of the volcan, hired a local guide and took us about hours to come back.
I recommend this hike only for intermediate-expirences hikers, you have to climb through rocks and cliffs. But the view at the too is really amazing and a lifetime experience! Phenomenal views from the top at sunrise. I did this hike in November The hike is done in the middle of the night with a local guide, so you need headlamps and poles. It gets chilly at the top - recommend to bring layers and gloves. Recently did this at Sunrise. Worth the early start with amazing views from the top.
Terrain a little difficult at times. A few slips and trips by other walkers. We started early am, hiking in the rain and dark until we got above the clouds.
The one bummer was that we made good time so we had to wait to do the summit for 30 mins, would have liked to have had another layer, bc we got very cold. Guide is a must, I wish I could remember our guides name, I will try to find out and edit my post. Arguably the greatest hike of my life. Not for the hike itself - because we did it in the dead of night and most of the way you're holding vines because of the grade. But we summited at sunrise and it was truly incredible - you can see the entire perimeter of Bali.
You have to hire a guide to do this hike. Don't do Batur, it's a tourist walk, this is where it's at. Use Navigator in the AllTrails app and join the 41 other outdoor explorers who have completed this trail. Mount Agung hard Length Mount Agung is Bali's highest point.
Its common for people leave around am to see the sun rise from the top of the volcano. Reviews Sort by:. Matt Robak. October 19, Hiking Great!
