Reviews from our hikers

★★★★★“Hard climb in the dark, but Wayan kept checking on everyone. Breakfast on the rim with Rinjani in front of us was the best part of our Bali trip.”
★★★★★“Guide-nya sabar banget nungguin saya yang pelan di batu-batu dekat kawah. Sunrise-nya bikin lupa capek.”

Questions
Common questions
Is the Pasar Agung route OK for beginners?
Yes, as long as you are reasonably fit. The climb up takes 3 to 4 hours, through forest and then up a steep rocky ridge near the rim. We suggest walking or jogging regularly for two to three weeks before the trip.
Does this route reach the main summit?
No. Pasar Agung ends at the crater rim at about 2,866 m, not the 3,142 m summit. From the rim you look straight into the active crater, with Rinjani and Batur in the distance.
What time do we start?
We start walking from the temple around 2 a.m. Bali time. Pickup is 1.5 to 2 hours earlier depending on where you stay.
When is the mountain closed?
During big ceremonies at the temples on Agung and whenever PVMBG raises the volcanic alert level. If your date is hit, you can move it for free or get your money back.
Are there local customs I should know?
Mount Agung is a sacred mountain for Balinese Hindus. Do not bring food containing beef, keep quiet near shrines, and by local custom women who are menstruating do not climb. Your guide leads a short prayer at the temple before you start.
How do I pay?
Book on this site, then pay a 30% deposit by bank transfer or QRIS and upload the receipt on your booking page. The rest can be paid by transfer or in cash at pickup.
