If so, you are going to love our survival guide to hiking Batur&#8217;s taller, more formidable big\u00a0sister, <a href=\"https:\/\/wikitravel.org\/en\/Mount_Agung\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mount Agung<\/a>. As the highest peak and the\u00a0most sacred point in Bali, this active stratovolcano stands at 3,031\u00a0meters (9,944 feet) and tempts the craziest of travellers and island residents to reach its summit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the bottom of the mountain stand the holy temples of Pura Besakih and Pura Pasar Agung, a site located some 200 steps from the parking area and the first gauntlet of the trek if you choose to depart from here. For anyone thinking of conquering\u00a0this beast, make sure to follow these eight rules for the experience of a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Know_Your_Physical_Ability_and_Limits\"><\/span>1. Know Your Physical Ability\u00a0and Limits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to lie to you, climbing Mount Agung was the hardest thing I&#8217;ve ever done. The same was said by the friends I went with, all of whom I consider to be in good, if not great,\u00a0physical condition. Unlike other hikes I&#8217;ve done in the past, there are no switchback trails on the volcano; just a path (sometimes) angled at 45 degrees. The journey can be broken down into three different trekking environments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first leg consists of a\u00a0dirt path winding up through a thick forest of trees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The second and longest leg is made up of boulders you first walk through, and subsequently take larger\u00a0steps up\u00a0to reach the next one<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The last leg of Agung is the steepest and by far the most dangerous\u00a0as you have to scramble up the face of the mountain on all fours with no ropes or harnesses holding you in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t looking for an adrenaline rush, this trek is not for you!&nbsp;Somehow, just when we were questioning our strength as human beings and how we were realistically going to get down, the worst of it was over and we had reached the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Be_Prepared_to_Hike_on_Zero_Sleep\"><\/span>2. Be Prepared to Hike on Zero Sleep<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Mount-Agung-summit-.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Agung summit\" class=\"wp-image-5388\" title=\"Hiking Mount Agung\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To reach the top of the mountain for sunrise, you have to begin\u00a0the four-hour climb\u00a0by 2:30 am at the latest. This meant that our alarm woke us up\u00a0at 11:45 pm, and we were on the road from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/en\/find\/sanur-ketewel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sanur<\/a> by midnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Good morning? Good night?&#8221; No one knew; it was like we were in the Twilight Zone. You have two sleep options for this bizarre wake-up time: either don&#8217;t sleep at all or go to bed when the sun is still up. Neither is very realistic, so you&#8217;ll probably end up just staying awake and then passing out on the car ride there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re one of those freaky insomniacs, then this won&#8217;t be an issue for you, but if sleep is an essential energy factor for you to trek over 1,500 meters, then I suggest you stay somewhere closer to the volcano&#8217;s starting point for maximum shut-eye time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/best-villas-in-sanur\/\">8 Best villas in Sanur for the perfect Bali trip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_And_in_The_Dark%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>3.

You\u2019ll want both hands free for balance, especially on steep sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>headlamp (primary light)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>spare batteries or a backup light<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a small power bank for your phone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Hydration_and_Altitude_Take_It_Seriously\"><\/span>4. Hydration and Altitude: Take It Seriously<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mount Agung sits close to 10,000 ft elevation, and altitude illness is possible \u2014 especially with heavy exertion and dehydration. Though Wikipedia claims that altitude sickness is not a risk on Agung, I assure you it is\u00a0(I should know, it smacked me in the face\u00a0mid-climb)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drink consistently, bring enough water, and use electrolytes if needed. Effects include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, feeling cold, and other fun symptoms. This can happen for a number of reasons, including physical activity at high altitude and extreme dehydration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this inconvenience, make sure to bring and drink as much water as possible throughout the extent of the climb. We all brought two full bottles each, ran out halfway through and thought we were on the verge of death. Don&#8217;t do this. Pack that H2O and gulp it down before, during and after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Dont_Ask_How_Much_Further_You_Have_to_Go\"><\/span>5. Don&#8217;t Ask How Much Further You Have to\u00a0Go<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After about an hour or so of climbing, our friend made the mistake of asking our current status, in the hope that our guide would say something like, &#8220;You&#8217;re halfway there, congratulations!&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minute he asked, though, I knew I wasn&#8217;t going to like whatever answer we were about to hear. Our legs were already burning, and\u00a0the sun wasn&#8217;t even close to rising. When he responded that we were about a third of the way up the mountain, the thought of turning back crossed each of our minds. During an activity that takes so much mental endurance, ignorance is bliss, I promise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Go_with_Friends\"><\/span>6.

They&#8217;ll be an essential crutch when you believe you are about to collapse with exhaustion and don&#8217;t think you can continue on one more step. Plus, you can switch off giving\u00a0each other piggyback rides\u00a0to ease the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Hire_a_Licensed_Local_Guide\"><\/span>7.

You can either look online or hire one upon arrival at the Agung base point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When booking, confirm:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>route (Pasar Agung vs Besakih options vary by operator)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>what\u2019s included (transport, water\/snacks, entrance fees)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>turnaround policy (what happens if weather or conditions change)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Booking tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ask your villa manager\/hotel to arrange a reputable guide or operator,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>avoid \u201crandom last-minute deals\u201d with unclear inclusions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Bring_a_Camera\"><\/span>8. Bring a Camera<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is an obvious essential. Who in this day and age would push their physical and mental capacities to the limit without a photo to show for it? And it just so happens that the views from Mount Agung&#8217;s peaks are worth the gruelling\u00a0ascent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you time it right, you should reach the top just as the sun&#8217;s first rays crest over the ocean. Luckily for us, it was a crystal clear morning, and we could see Lombok&#8217;s Mount Rinjani on one side and Java&#8217;s Mount Bromo on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best images came from Mount Agung casting its shadow over the rest of Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Moung-Agung-views.jpg\" alt=\"Moung Agung views\" class=\"wp-image-5391\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>&#8230; and this Hindu shrine greeting us&nbsp;good morning.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Mount-Agung-temple.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Agung temple\" class=\"wp-image-5390\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Once the sun had come up, we were able to finally see what we had been climbing for the last four hours.

And there you have it, possibly the most helpful tidbit of information you&#8217;ll receive about the Agung trek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Heck, forget all of the rules &#8211; just\u00a0be prepared to have your mind blown! Summiting Mount Agung was truly one of the most\u00a0demanding\u00a0but ultimately rewarding endeavours I&#8217;ve ever taken on and if\u00a0you&#8217;re up for the challenge, it is the best activity you can\u00a0check off of your Bali Bucket List.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_Mount_Agung_Climb\"><\/span>FAQ: Mount Agung Climb<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is Mount Agung safe to climb?<\/strong><br>It can be, with the right conditions and preparation \u2014 but it\u2019s a serious trek on an active volcano. Always follow PVMBG hazard zones and closure notices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you need a guide for Mount Agung?<\/strong><br>Yes. Beyond safety, there have been reports of deportations for hiking without a guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long does the Mount Agung trek take?<\/strong><br>It varies by route and pace, but many guided itineraries describe roughly 7\u20138 hours total trekking time (up and down). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can altitude sickness happen on Mount Agung?<\/strong><br>Yes. The summit is close to 10,000 ft and altitude illness is possible, especially with hard exertion and dehydration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can Mount Agung be closed to hikers?<\/strong><br>Yes.
