The driver and the comfortable car, the guide is sporty, we quickly climbed 1.20, it was an excellent workout. The guide prepared breakfast for us at the top. A very beautiful sunrise. The village of Trunyan is a specific sight not for the impressionable. The remains of old corpses lie like in a pile of garbage mixed with bamboo sticks, new ones lie in huts made of bamboo sticks
Everything went great. It so happened that we were alone with the guide, who turned out to be a very cool guy. The views and experiences were magnificent. The only downside is that there is no toilet at the top. But this can be attributed to the peculiarities of the area😉. This is about Batur. Then there was a nice walk on the lake. There was also a great local guide who explained everything and took photos. The village of the dead left a peculiar impression. For informational purposes, it's okay. In essence, it's a place where dead people lie and there are lots of flies. And the locals ask for money😂
The team provided was wonderful, the driver arrived at the appointed time without delay, and the guide was already waiting for us on site. We were served a free breakfast before the hike (bananas in batter, it was tasty) in addition to what was included, and set off around 3 AM. I was with my husband, and he didn't have time to get tired because I stopped every 200 meters and shouted, 'Leave me here 🤣,' thanks to the guide for his patience. Result: we reached the topmost point tired but happy. The view was stunning, the atmosphere magical (more than 600 people climbed that night), can you imagine that energy? I almost died, but I have no regrets! Thank you!
Liked: - The organizers were always available via messenger and responded to all questions very promptly, helping us choose a convenient payment method. - The driver, Putu, ensured that we were comfortable during the trip. - The guide was very helpful and encouraging during the climb (which was, honestly, not easy), and later took some nice photos of us. - The monkeys that were at the top of the volcano and emerged from the canyon. - Delicious food. Did not like: - At the end of the tour, we sailed to a cemetery, where there was no story told; we just went in, looked around, and left, not even understanding at first what we were looking at. Then we started asking questions to the person who took us there by boat and the local person with him. They answered, thanks to them, and we Googled the rest.) This did not ruin the overall impression of the tour, but it would have been nice to have a short story at least (even on a leaflet).
