We
had
booked
the
sunrise
tour
with
Batur
Adventures
(via
Trip
Advisor)
Communication
was
great
leading
up
to
the
morning
of
our
experience.
Pick
up
went
smoothly
and
on
time.
We
were
staying
in
Ubud,
so
was
collected
at
2.30am.
Our
driver
Adi
was
lovely
and
made
great
morning
conversation.
Once
we
arrived
to
the
mount,
we
were
paired
up
with
a
guide
to
take
us
to
the
top.
I'd
highly
recommend
bringing
some
warm
clothes.
Preferably
something
light
to
carry
and
some
layers.
As
going
up
the
summit
will
warm
you
up
and
potentially
sweat
your
face
off!.
But
once
you're
at
the
top
and
stationary
(for
a
while)
it's
very
cold
up
there.
We
had
a
rain
jacket
over
our
tops,
and
that
was
not
enough.
So
something
with
a
hood
or
thermals
would
keep
you
comfy
while
you
wait
for
nature's
beauty.
(They
do
also
have
locals
up
top
hiring
blankets
if
need
be)
Now,
We'd
generally
consider
ourselves
fairly
fit
people
(Les
Mills,
F45
&
training
for
a
1/2
marathon)
But
the
1.5hour
trek
up
was
definitely
a
challenge.
So
just
be
aware
of
that
and
take
your
time.
Feel
free
to
stop
for
breaks
and
just
take
one
step
at
a
time.
There
is
a
lot
of
waiting
once
at
the
summit,
so
even
if
it
takes
2hrs
to
climb,
you'll
still
have
a
lot
of
time
to
catch
the
sunrise.
(Which
starts
forming
at
around
5.30am)
Once
at
the
summit,
We
were
given
some
tea/coffee
and
a
tray
of
banana
sandwiches,
boiled
eggs
&
fruits.
Which
were
tasty
&
helped
warm
us
up.
The
sunrise
experience
was
sensational
and
made
the
painstaking
ascent
worth
it
all.
Our
guide
was
very
helpful
and
showed
us
around
the
summit.
He
also
took
lovely
photos
of
us
too.
The
descent
down
was
fairly
easy.
It
is
down
a
different
way
you
come
up,
through
a
loose
soil
bike
track.
So
just
take
it
slow
and
enjoy
the
warmth
of
the
day.
Once
at
the
base,
we
got
picked
up
by
Adi,
and
made
our
journey
home.
Adi
was
happy
to
take
us
to
the
Luwak
coffee
plantation
on
our
way
back.
But
we
were
tired
and
opted
for
the
hotel
instead.
Overall
the
experience
was
a
Batur
Adventure,
and
I'd
highly
recommend
this
to
anyone
looking
to
create
a
lasting
memory
in
Bali.
