🌋 We’ve hiked the most famous volcano in Bali, Mount Batur🥾 🔦 As everyone describes it as the most magical and beautiful experience of their life. But we wanna tell you the sad reality and our honest opinion of the considered best hike in Bali and why we would not recommend you to do it. 1️⃣Commercialization: Mount Batur has become overly commercialized, with a local “mafia” demanding guides and fees, detracting from the authentic hiking experience. 2️⃣Aggressive Locals: Locals can be aggressive towards solo hikers, offering incorrect directions and false claims of government affiliation, leading to confrontations. 3️⃣Overcrowding: The hike is crowded, often with more than a thousand people in a noisy, chaotic line, disrupting the tranquility and natural connection typically associated with hiking. 4️⃣Pushy Sellers: The presence of locals trying to sell various items, from blankets to food, can make the hike feel more like a marketplace than a natural sanctuary. 5️⃣Unprofessional Guides: The local guides lack proper equipment and experience, often rushing hikers to descend immediately after sunrise, diminishing the overall enjoyment of the experience and providing little value for their fees #balitrip #bali #balilife #baliindonesia #explorebali #balitravel #balitour #baliisland #indonesia #baliholiday #balidaily #ubud #nusapenida #balivacation #baliguide #tropicalparadise #holiday #visitbali #baliparadise #balivacation #balibible #uktravelblogger #travelblogger #balivibes #thebalibible #travelgram #travelbali #romaniantravelblogger #romaniantraveler #calatorii #vacanta
