Very memorable experience, thankyou!
Great trip overall, supported by easy transport to and from the hotel and a very attentive and safety conscious guide. I found the climb challenging on the way up but well worth it once reaching the summit. A very memorable experience. The walk back down was easier, be sure to take good hiking shoes with plenty of grip.

Mount Agung ascent adventure
My partner and I travelled to the summit with our wonderful guide Juna. It was a challenging climb but the assistance of Juna allowed us to pace ourselves whilst maintaining a safe footing. Summiting in the dark made the sunrise even more spectacular on gazing over our ascent path. A truly wonderful experience and than you.

Highly Recommend this Tour
Pus brewok was a great host for the Jeep tour, he made sure I was well taken care of as a Solo traveller and took some amazing professional looking photos!

Steep grade
This was a pretty steep grade the way we went at least. At night, there is more challenge and it is very rocky half the way. Maybe 20% grade half the time. But well worth the sunrise! You can always rest on the way up. I’m 65 but still made it. Reminded me at times of cactus to clouds trail in Palm Springs CA.

Great Experience to the top of Mt Batur
We loved the whole experience although it was fog at the top during sunrise. Our guide Yus and driver Yoga were excellen, attentive, experienced and prompt. You have to be physically and mentally prepared for a moderate to difficult 2 hour hike to the mountain top as well as starting your journey around 2am

Life changing experience
Seeing 2023 out with our biggest climb of the year, the active volcano Mount Agung 3142m!
Such an amazing experience, which pushed the boundaries of what we had ever achieved before.
12 hours including breaks from start to finish.
Our guide Khaki (60 years old) was fantastic, not only from his knowledge of pacing ourselves, when to stop & rest but was making jokes and engaging the whole hike.
The trip down was just as tough with both our knees on the verge of giving out and all the aches & pains setting in. Our only goal was the last checkpoint, never been so happy to see a checkpoint in my life as it meant just 2.2km to go.
Physically demanding but you need to try and push through to the top no matter how long it takes

Wonderful views on Mount Agung
A great hike which starts early during the night. The track is very steep and the views are worth it. Do not hesitate to start later if you don't want to do a 2h break waiting for the sunrise. The organization with both taxi and guide went very well. I highly recommend it.

People Also Ask
Is Mt. Agung worth visiting?
It depends. Mt. Agung offers panoramic views and is sacred to the Balinese, who orient their homes and temples around it. But it’s a physically challenging climb and best avoided if you have a fear of heights; you can always admire it from Sidemen or visit Besakih Temple instead.
Is Mt. Agung difficult to climb?
Yes, Mt. Agung is difficult to climb. Whether you take the shorter Pura Pasar Agung route (which usually stops at the crater rim) or the longer, steeper Besakih Temple Route to the true summit, you’ll find the climb physically demanding. It’s not a technical climb, just steep, slippery, and exposed to the elements.
Can you climb Mt. Agung without a guide?
No, you can’t climb Mt. Agung without a guide. Guides are both compulsory and necessary. Almost everyone climbs Mt. Agung for sunrise, which means scaling steep, slippery, poorly signed slopes in darkness, while weather conditions can be changeable. It’s critical to have a guide who knows the route and conditions.
How long does it take to hike Mt. Agung?
The shorter Pura Pasar Agung route runs from midway up the mountain to the crater rim and takes 7-8 hours. The longer Besakih Temple Route runs from 2,953 feet (900 meters) to the summit at 9,944 feet (3,031 meters) and is an 11-13 hours round trip.
How much does it cost to climb Mt. Agung?
It’s always worth booking a private guide to climb Mt. Agung; otherwise, everyone has to turn back if one person in the group turns back. Packages with transport cost around US$70 for the short route from Pura Pasar Agung and start at around US$80 for the long route from Besakih Temple.
What should I wear to Mt. Agung?
Mt. Agung is a sacred mountain, so you should dress respectfully, wearing long pants and a shirt that covers your shoulders. Slippery rocks make hiking boots your best option and solid sneakers your second choice. Winds can be cold, so a fleece, rain jacket, and thin gloves are also recommended.
