Sunrise Hike on Mount Agung, Bali

A sunrise from 3,031 meters (ie the CRAZIEST thing I’ve ever done!)⁠ 😅⁠ ⁠ The 12-hour round-trip hike up Bali’s active Mount Agung volcano is the hardest thing I’ve done to date. The climb up is absolutely BRUTAL, and the trek down — or, in my case, butt slide — is even worse.⁠ 😰⁠ ⁠ But I’m so glad I did it to take in the absolutely EPIC sunrise over Bali’s many volcanoes and mountains. At the top, you’re above the clouds and surrounding crates, which is surreal to say the least.⁠ 😍⁠ ⁠ Hiking up, you’re in complete darkness, and the views of the stars above and lit-up houses below is moving.⁠ 😶‍🌫️⁠ ⁠ On the way down, it becomes very clear just how high above the clouds you’ve hiked, which feels crazy.⁠ ⛰️⁠ ⁠ Important: Mount Agung is considered to be the most sacred mountain in Bali, so if you visit please do so respectfully. ✨⁠
