Pura Pasar Agung - Gunung Agung

Access to starting point:
The beggining of the route is the parking place below the temple Pasar Agung. It can be reached by a road via Selat or Muncan in island Bali, Indonesia.

Path description:
THE PATH LEADS ONLY TO THE CRATER RIM AT 2866 M!

The climb starts with 300 stairs to Pasar Agung Temple, where it traverses stone ledges on the left side of the temple and heads up straight into the rainforest. After one hour of walk the rainforest eventually ends. In the following two hours the path leads straight upward and it gradually gets steeper until the final few hundred meters below the crater rim, where some minor climbing is necessary, especially at a 3 m tall rock. A 2866m high peak of this southern side of the crater rim is eventually reached. Small dots show us the way up and down. In the clear weather it is hard to get lost, nevertheless, the clouds gather around the mountain soon after 9 o'clock in the morning.

The climb usually takes from 3 to 4 hours and it starts early in the morning in order to avait the sunrise at the top.

The best time to make a climb is from July to September (dry season).

The description and photos are based on conditions from July 2016.
