With good preparation, your climbing experience will run smoothly without any obstacles. So what are the hiking preparations that will be needed?

Here are 5 preparations that must be done before starting Mount Batur Trekking:

1. Choosing the Right Time

Before doing Mount Batur Trekking, it helps you choose the right time. This time is a way to be able to see the sunrise on time. The beauty of the natural panorama in the morning by seeing the sunrise will certainly be much better than other climbing hours.

This means, you have to start climbing in the early morning, at least you have reached the start point at 03.30 WITA. Each hiking trail that will be traveled usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours of hiking.

Determining the right time to hike is very mandatory. We also advise you to hike in the dry season, because the scenery offered will be very beautiful with a thin mist covering the mountains.

2. Prepare your Physical and Mental Condition Well

The second preparation in Mount Batur Trekking is to maintain physical and mental condition before leaving. This is done so that you can avoid injury or cramps during the trek. We recommend that you do light exercise a few days before.

You also need to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages and foods that contain a lot of oil. This will certainly make your body condition less fit. Two or three days before, try to sleep early and avoid staying up late.

In addition, you also need to train mentally before the climb. This will make you more enthusiastic and confident to do the climbing experience. With good physical and mental conditions, it will certainly minimize the possibility of bad things happening.

3. Record the Needs that Must be Carried

You also need to prepare all the necessities such as tools and clothing that need to be brought when climbing. For equipment that must be carried for example a head torch, hiking stick, and a small first aid kit.

For clothing, we recommend bringing only two types of clothing. When you’re hiking, you’ll want to wear shorts and a t-shirt so that your pores don’t close when you’re dry. Then, upon arrival at the summit, you can wear a jacket and long pants to anticipate the weather turning colder.

You can also wear comfortable shoes for climbing such as sports shoes with good grip or base. You can also use mountain sandals during Mount Batur Trekking or hiking shoes which are much better and more comfortable.

4. Prepare enough provisions

Trekking Mount Batur takes about 5 hours (up the mountain and down the mountain). You can bring enough food and drinks to ensure you have enough energy. You can bring bread, boiled eggs, or a few bottles of water.

At the top of Mount Batur, there are also small stalls that provide drinks such as tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. You can also buy instant noodles for IDR 15,000 to IDR 20,000 per portion.
