I am not a morning person. Any other day of the year I would have cursed myself for setting my alarm at the wrong time and gone back to sleep, but this morning was different.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was the morning of New Years Eve. I was on Intrepid\u2019s <a href=\"\/indonesia\/beautiful-bali-160411\">9-day<strong> Beautiful Bali <\/strong>tour<\/a>, and my group and I were going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/climb-mt-batur-bali\/\">climb Bali\u2019s Mount Batur<\/a> (which is actually an active volcano) to watch the sunrise. Two and a half hours of hiking in the pitch black to the summit, and a two-hour descent. We were sleepy, in desperate need of coffee, and very excited, but also very nervous. Many members of the tour had never hiked anything like this before \u2013 let alone in the dark!<\/p>\n<p>Despite our nerves and our varying fitness levels, we went, we hiked, and we conquered \u2013 and I can proudly say that it was nothing short of amazing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25277\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25277\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/BB-Mount-Batur-hike-3-DSC01127-e1517780677162.jpg\" alt=\"Mt Batur hike Bali\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25277\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hiking with my amazing Intrepid group<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to join the ranks of Mount Batur hike graduates, you\u2019ve come to the right place. Here are a few helpful tips that you should know before you climb:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Expect it to be dark\u2026. Reaaaaal dark<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever experienced darkness so thick that you can\u2019t see your hand in front of your face? That\u2019s the kind of darkness that surrounds you for the majority of the ascent up the mountain. Since the goal is to be at the top of the mountain for sunrise, it\u2019s necessary to begin the hike at the darkest hours of night. It is a unique sensation to hike through fields and climb over rocks without being able to see your final destination!<\/p>\n<p>Because it is so dark, there are many safety measures in place to make sure that no one gets hurt. There is one guide for every four people, and they help you along every step of the way. There are also several stops along the journey to rest your legs, re-energize, or have a coffee chugging competition like we did.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25279\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25279\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Intrepid-Travel-indonesia_bali_mount-batur.jpg\" alt=\"Mt Batur hike Bali\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Intrepid-Travel-indonesia_bali_mount-batur.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Intrepid-Travel-indonesia_bali_mount-batur-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Intrepid-Travel-indonesia_bali_mount-batur-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Intrepid-Travel-indonesia_bali_mount-batur-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25279\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mighty Mt Batur<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Make sure your light source is legit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If there was one thing I was extremely thankful for during the hike, it was my flashlight. It\u2019s nearly impossible to climb the mountain without a light source; the rocky terrain can be unstable and you need to see exactly where you are putting each hand and foot.<\/p>\n<p>A word to the wise \u2013 a phone is not a flashlight! Cough up a few dollars and get yourself the real thing. I used a handheld flashlight, which was useful because I could point it directly where I needed to without having to move my head. Looking back, I would have also brought a headlamp to help create a wider berth of light around me.

And he was right; it was chilly\u2026 for the first 10 minutes. Then you begin to climb, and boy, do you sweat. Soon my Canadian blood was boiling and most of us were shedding as many clothes as we could. By the time we got to the top, some of us were so sweaty we had to rock \u2018the wet look\u2019 for our photo ops. So, start the hike with a few light layers and be prepared to shed them as you go!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"text-decoration-line: underline; text-align: center;\" href=\"\/bali\" data-wpil=\"url\"><strong>HIKE MT BATUR ON A SMALL GROUP TOUR IN BALI<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In terms of footwear, this is not the time to wear your dollar store flip-flops or your chic designer running shoes (although I did see a local guide impressively rocking her flip-flops while climbing up the mountain). While purchasing a pair of hiking shoes is not necessary, you should wear a pair of good, comfortable running shoes with a decent amount of tread on the sole. It\u2019s dusty, dirty, and if it has rained recently then it will be wet. You will need all the traction you can get to handle those rocks!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Snack time is the best time<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_25276\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25276\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/BB-Mount-Batur-hike-2-DSC01098-e1517780659690.jpg\" alt=\"Mt Batur hike Bali\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25276\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Snacking at the summit<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When I am sleep-deprived the last thing I want to do is eat, but you need a lot of energy to climb a mountain in the dark! Although there are two rest stops along the way where locals sell food and water, if you want to eat something other than chips and cookies then you should bring some food of your own for the trek. There are few things worse than having hunger or thirst strike in the middle of nowhere. Make sure to save some water and a snack or two for the way down as well; I found it equally as tiring!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/bali-food-guide\/\"><strong>WANT TO KNOW HOW TO SNACK IN STYLE IN BALI? CHECK OUT OUR FOOD GUIDE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When you get to the top of the mountain, beware of the monkeys. They are cute, they are intelligent, and they are little food pirates. I saw many mountaintop picnics being crashed by troupes of monkeys who were definitely not invited to the party. That being said, watching monkeys helping themselves to a gourmet meal on the top of a mountain is a pretty entertaining sight!<\/p>\n<p>In other words: do NOT leave your food unattended.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25278\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25278\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/BB-Mount-Batur-hike-4-DSC01132-e1517780695591.jpg\" alt=\"Mt Batur hike Bali\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25278\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beware of monkeys!<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Be prepared\u2026 to be floored by beauty<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I must admit that hiking Mount Batur is not a walk in the park.
