Dangers & annoyances
Gunung Batur has developed a well-deserved reputation as a money-grubbing place where visitors (mainly around Penelokan) are hassled by touts and wannabe mountain guides (mainly around the lake area). Of course the guides themselves can be a problem). Don’t leave valuables in your car, especially at any car park at the start of a volcano trail. Don’t even leave a helmet with a motorcycle.
