View Mount Agung in a larger map





I have personally prepared this tentative program to climb Mount Agung and Mount Batur as our group preliminary preparation before the actual climb (which still have not a specific date).   The cost involved will be published in other post



Mount Agung is the highest point on the popular island of Bali and holds incredible spiritual significance for the Balinese. It is still an active volcano, and the last major eruption was in 1963.



Day 1

Arrival at Denpasar Airport, Bali

13.00:                         Check in Hotel and rest, it is proposed that it is better is stay at places near to mount batur or mount agung instead of staying at Kuta. The proposed area will be around Candidasa(beach) or Kintamani (near mount batur, there several hotels with superb lake and mountain view Hotel Segara & Restoran, Batur Lakeside Hut, Lakeview Hotel and Restaurant (booking.com from RM178),  Surya Hotel & Restaurant .. detail of hotel maps around kintamani  ,

22.00:                          Depart to Pura Besakih Temple

23.00:                    Arrive at Pura Besakih Temple which is the starting point, Briefing, and start climb Mount Agung (minimum 5 hours trekking)


Day 2
06.00:                           Expected to reach the peak of Mount Agung
07.30:                       Begin our descent to Besakih Temple, the finishing point of our trek. (minimum 4 hours trekking)
13:00–13:15:               Arrival at Besakih Temple and boarding car/mini-bus.
13.30:                         Lunch at restaurant on the way back to Hotel
15.00:                         Arrive at hotel, take rest
                                   Sightseeing

Day 3
04.00:                         Depart from hotel to climb Mount Batur
05.00-09.00:              Journey to the peak takes nearly 2 hours. If we feel more adventurous, then you could extend the journey to see more part of Bali around Mount Batur as commonly classified by local as short trips, medium trips and long trips. The longer the trips the higher guide charge will be             
SHORT TRIPS,
Starting the journey from the first point or the parking area at 04.00 in the morning which takes approximately 2 hours until the peak
MEDIUM TRIP
After breakfast then we continue traveling around the main crater, this trip will be take half hour to an hour, walk around in the rim of the mean crater, also this trip is the most beautiful can see activities of human around mount batur.
LONG TRIP
This tour takes one hour from the main crater sunrise or servant, to the new crater is a crater where the last eruption of the year 2000. many points of interest surrounding this tour such as: Hot Steam, Crakling Stone, Sulfur, Slide Dawn, Moon Land Sceep and many hectare of black larva.

12.00:                      Check out from hotel and take transport to Kuta which would take approximately 2 hours.
                                   Sightseeing around Bali
                        
 Day 4              
12.00:                Check out from hotel and take transport to Denpasar airport

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

When to Climb
We can’t climb Mount Agung on the following date due to religious ceremonies held at the Pura Besakih temple:


Purnama kelima (during the 5th full moon night) for 11 days

Purnama kedasa (during the 10th full moon night) for 11 days

Buda Wage Kulantir for 5 days


For 2013 the ceremonies fall on normal calendar year as:

  • Purnama Kedasa  (it was on 25 March 2013), the next one will be next year.
