Top Ubud Day Trips - page 6

We're 50+ couple with an adequate for our age fitness level. It was a very challenging and also the most rewarding hike for myself and my wife. People bring their hike jacket as it got chilly up there. People also need comfortable hiking footwear to be able to go over a rough and slippery in the night solid lava. Water and walking stick provided by the tour organization, however we brought our own larger bottles with water. Boiled egg and banana sandwich for a breakfast at the summit was very nice but may be not an appropriate for a people with different diet requirements. People with health issues and poor fitness can hire a motorcycle or 4x4 car for a group and still enjoy some walking experience as final part to the summit require tourists to climb for 10 to 20 minutes. For those, who overestimated their physical abilities and struggle to climb local people were able to organize help and transport them on the motorcycle. The climb up to the Mt Batur took 2.5 hours and around 1.5 hrs descent. One of the best experiences in my life.
