Climbing Gunung Batur, Bali’s Volcano

Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 2 October 2009

By: davendeb

We had come to Bali for many things however and climbing a volcano was one of them, so I wasn't about to admit that I was chickening out. As it turns out, Gunung Batur is not a frightening lava flowing volcano at all. Yes, it is an active volcano, but you won't see any lava fields flowing by as you walk up the trail and you won't have to worry or fear that you may tumble into molten lava. I really should have done my research before we climbed and I would have known this. Instead I lay awake all night fretting and waiting for our 2:00 am wake up call.
