Tips for Trekking Mt. Batur

- It is recommended to exercise a week before climbing, although the mountain is not too high, but the route is quite challenging for novice climbers. This is to prevent cramps in the middle of the trip.
- Bring raw eggs from the bottom to boil them when you reach the top. Even though there are some eggs sellers at the top, the price can be more expensive.
- Calculate climbing time if you do not bring a tent, lest you reach the top a few hours before sunrise. So you donโt have to wait too long and avoid shiver.
- Bring enough goods because the mountain is not too high, not to burden yourself when climbing. And of course use mountain shoes or sandals to avoid slipping easily.
- Use the services of a guide for your safety.
