Pura Pucak Mangu on Mt. Catur

"What's the plan for next weekend?" That was a question from a friend after we did Mt. Lesung for the first time a week ago. So during the weekdays I searched for any possibility, and one of the mountain which is still in the same area seems to be good. Plus I found a nice blog about 10 Highest Peaks in Bali.

Sekumpul Waterfall and Mt. Agung (22-25 January 2013)

Few weeks ago I hike a mountain near my place, Mt. Batukaru, with Igor. And he offering to hike another mountain in Bali, the highest one. He came with his friend, Sergey who is Russian as well, but he can't speak either Indonesian or English. And another friend also join with us is Roma from New Zealand. So our plan is start in the morning, go to north area of Bali, stop in Jatiluwih Rice Terrace and Sekumpul Waterfall, then start to hike Mt. Agung at night so we can see the sunrise on the top.

Batukaru Mt 2200m asl, my first time to hike (9 January 2013)

I moved to Bali (since November 2012) and stay with my boyfriend (Russian) in Penebel, North Tabanan. Every good weather i can see 3 hills in the north side, Batukaru is the highest one.

One of my friend tried to hike few weeks ago, he is a runner. He said it's easy and need 4 hours to go up and down for him. It can be around 4 hours to go up for me, maybe.. I never hike any mountain before, but i really want to try. The problem is, i scared to try alone, and my boyfriend lazy to do it. If he want to do it, he already do it long time ago because he stay here more than 1 year.

One day, his friend from Russia come to Bali. Igor is a strong guy, he did hike many mountains, including Kerinci 3.800m asl (highest Mt of Sumatra island), Semeru 3.676m asl (highest Mt of Java island), Agung 3.142m asl (highest Mt of Bali island), Rinjani 3.726m asl  (highest Mt of Lombok island), Trikora 4.750m asl (2nd highest Mt of Papua) and one more in Sulawesi or Maluku, i cannot remember. But the highest mountain he have been is about 7 thousands meters above sea level, and i just open my mouth when he tell me about that. :0
