Alternatively we could
climb mt batur first as that is less physically demanding than Mt Agung that
would give us more time to acclimatise with local weather and to have enough
rest but this will limit the time for sightseeing at Kuta. Other
alternative is to extend this tentative for 5 days, more to see and more relaxing
