Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Hi, would you like to share ur guide info, we plan to do the trecking there

Hi, as local but from Gianyar, I also angry with those person (not generalize all) , we face lots thing in Bali, our corruption not only in government, its happen also with local, my experience on 17 aug when we arrived at post 1 and walked we met a local online transportation driver, and intended to take us to the parking lot, but the fee was 50 thousand rupiah, because we thought it was too expensive we didn't do it, but were directed to a road that was getting further away from the parking lot. very annoyed!!! 😈 Idk why right now people nowdays become more money grubber, I know everyone need money but its to commercialized and not in proper way. I hope we can voice these things to make them realize that sustainability tourism is IMPORTANT. btw Agung have some track, try pengubengan temple, only pay 50k IDR and without guide possible the track quite clear, i heard in edelwais you must with guide. better you have local balinese friend who didn't think about money, we have lots of kind people sometimes we just met and walk together, they didn't want anything from you, even when I didn't bring medicine of stomach acid they give it to me. I hope you enjoy Bali and becareful lots of scam, and some of them might be not only local but domestic from another part of Indonesia.

Primitive locals

Who fuckin cares weirdo, enjoy the view, realise nature is king and we're blessed to be here. Busy or not, the surroundings are wonderful. have some grace. strange fucking people going to countries blaming the locals to make money of of them.

You made the right decision! Instead of hiking Batur going to abang or agung 🎉 much better I need to go

@@travelwithrafa Agung is amazing. Favorite hike in Bali.

You're so superior.

@@travelwithrafa Hi, I just visit Agung mountain on 16 aug evening till morning (almost afternoon) 17aug to celebrate Indonesia independence day, I will share my experience : via pengubengan you need to prepare entrance ticket for 50 K, but it was worted, no need guide via pengubengan, I heard if via Taman Edelweis you must with a guide, avoid national day of Indonesia and holy day of Bali if you want not crowded / get disappoint due the close of mountain (because if there is ceremony, the mountain will closed no exeception) when you back and arrive in pos 1 and walking be carefull with local motor transport, they know that we are tired and better take local motor transport to parking area but we didn't want because they ask 50 k thousand rupiah (like ticket entrance for us this is expensive though), but you know what, he show us wrong direction!!! , so that wrong direction make us walk more far from the parking area. I'm local Balinese but not from there, but I hate that person (can't generalize, all but maybe some like your experience in Batur, this is our big problem in Bali, local become more money grubber). Everything what make profit they make it, I know we all need money, but should in proper ways. hope you always speak up like this, its not about local, tourist, domestic, visitor, et cetera its about "build good relationship without scam". Mostly lots of Balinese that not from that area really kind, they ask if we have still food and water supply, even when I have stomach acid they give me medicine which i didn't bring because im not expect that disease will happen to me. just walk with them, they didn't ask money because they are hikers, not "person" who take advantage of the situation. Hope you enjoy Bali and becarefull of scammers. Have a nice Day!!

No self awareness at all. Ridiculous level of entitlement.

Thank you for sharing your experience! The problem is not only being too crowded. It is the mafia around it, the way they treat hikers, there are a few links in the description with other people’s experience. If you went with a pre booked guide you probably don’t see this problem but it’s quite known the mafia around it and that’s the main problem 😢

@@travelwithrafa there seems to be a sort of Mafia for like anything: temples, mountains, waterfalls, taxis…

Hi, do you have contact of your guide?

Go to Pemuteran or Munduk. No people at all

who organizes camping up there?

but not for the scam, Hey Im local Balinese also get scam by those motor transport online who will drop us to parking area from near post 1 in agung, you know how much they ask for the money? 50 K !! Crazy its a lot for local man. Even if they know we are Balinese, oh ya up to you if you said we are poor, with my all Apple gadget and cozy houses I just wanna pay what I deserve most. you know what the problem is? because we refuge him, they inform us wrong direction to parking area, they make us like walk realllllly far from before. see ? nas bedag people always be nas bedag, pemikiran tolol dan pengemis harus diberangus, bodo amat cang local lebih milih orang orang yang beradab. masalahnya service yg diberikan jleme2 local totone jele ken tai, seng ade hospitality jak local, mata duitan aja isine.

Thank you for watching 🙌🏼😊

Do you have info for your guide?

We had such an epic sunrise on Mount Batur and the fog moved and swayed as the sun rose above the horizon. It was amazing. The day wasn't hazy yet so we could see all the way to Lombok and the Gilis. The soft lighting of golden hour also makes for the best photos. It is hit or miss though, I've definitely had some poor sunrises here and there, but when they go off, man do they make for amazing memories and muses for photography.

More than $40

Yes Mount Rinjani on Lombok, island next to Bali

There are so many islands in Indonesia, with bigger mountains like in java, sumatra, sulawesi, papua, etc. And they are less commercialized or not at all.

Hi i will give some tips ya : 1. in Bali : avoid national day of Indonesia and holy day of Bali if you want not crowded / get disappoint due the close of mountain (because if there is ceremony, the mountain will closed no exception) 2. find friends local / Balinese local BUT DONT FROM NEAR THAT MOUNTAIN AREA, because as hikers we didnt take advantages of others, they are kind and they want walk together, lots of them have lots experience and know the route, I'm not recommend you go alone if you didnt know about that, quite difficult to decide need guide or not because sometimes it unpredictable, lots of case tourist who die because they obey the rules and act not in our norm. (bali area almost all sacred) 3. try hike puncak mangu / catur, its really safe to tour and people from 2 side can pass the way not like batur. its very easy to hike there, i think newbie also able to hike this mountain. 4. if you come to another part of indonesia beside bali : just becareful with the robber, rapist, mugger there are lots case, for safety bali is one of the safest island in indonesia, the minus is the local can't speak English at all, only some who can, and the good things they are not materialize like in Bali happens now.

Hi, I wanna come to Kinabalu due the movie, after that I searching they have like hotel in the one of top mountain ya? wow tinggi tinggi gunung Kinabalu tinggi lagi sayang sama kamu, aww so sweet. any recommendation of guide there?

Horrible

You are one of these mafioso? Why you dont care about your land?

You are the reason tourists stay away from this place, I love Bali but if the maffia system benefits you anything I wish you a lifetime of poverty. Please improve this

tenang, pasti ada kerjaan lain, kenapa ya orang batur mental nya sama kaya orang kintamani, masih ngemis ngemis gtu, seng ngidang anggon otak cai utk hal yang lebih bagus daripada scam tamu? ga sabar orang Tabanan, Denpasar, gianyar, singaraja dan kota lain yg ngisi posisi guide Disana karena lebih jujur dan memberikan pengalaman yg baik, harus nya kamu intropeksi seng ngomen care keto. butuh duit seng keto carane gus. cang gen kene scam masih wkt ke agung tgl 16 - 17 kemarin, krn ga mau pake gojek 50 k( bgst mahal banget cang nak bali pdhl, dblg miskin terserah padahal gadget cang Apple kok konyang, cuma ga masuk akal) mereka ngasi tau jalur yg ngejauhin parkir, bangsat banget tak doain biar cepet mereka rugi. otak ne pipis, pejuh, teli gen isine. !

And after a white couple were allowed to climb after they paid some 500k in total. I went to the lady and told her i was a Hindu and i was from and i wouldn't behave disrespectfully and only then she let me do the hike alone. And yeah the locals living the foothills do give you wrong directions. I took a much harder route and got lost several times, but wading through bushes hiking on the scar made by the volcano was cool and stupid at the same time and eventually i would find the actual path though. I also don't think these supposed guides won't take you on the actual hard trekking route and i say this because it wasn't that easy for me climbing uphill even after finding a proper route. I think i climbed 3 peaks in a row on that day and im one of the fittest at my mma gym, and this mountain had me rethinking my decisions lol. But i made it to the top and yeah sometimes you just try making it harder for yourself ha ha
