But not everyone is suited for this hike. You're in for a shock if you thought climbing Mount Batur in Bali would be similar to Mount Inerie because the latter is far harder.
The morning started at 2 am where you can hop onto a scooter and made your way to Watumeze Village, 15 km outside of Bajawa.
There is lots of volcanic rock and the ground is uneven which makes it even more challenging. What lay ahead was far more challenging than what you could ever could have imagined!
There are some graphic, bloody violent scenes. The stub of a man's severed shoulder and his severed arm are visible. A guy is fatally beaten, has his neck cut, and passes away bleeding.
You have to walk on tiny pebbles and loose sand for the first hour down. If you take a false step, you can end yourself tumbling down the volcano. Avoid rushing and instead take your time.
Rather opt for the sunrise trek. There’s also no shade en route so unless you enjoy walking in the scorching heat, choose to do the sunrise trek up Mount Inerie.
