Start with a headlamp
A reliable headlamp keeps your hands free on steep or loose sections during the pre-dawn ascent.
Layer for wind and sweat
Temperatures drop on the summit; pack a breathable mid-layer and a wind shell to stay comfortable during the sunrise.
Watch your footing on scree
Loose volcanic rock can shift—use shorter steps and keep weight centered to avoid slipping on descent.
Respect shrine sites
Small Balinese shrines sit along the route—pause respectfully and avoid disturbing offerings or leaving litter.
Headlamp with fresh batteries
Essential for navigating the pre-dawn trail safely.
Sturdy trail shoes with good grip
Stable footwear reduces risk on loose volcanic scree and rocky sections.
Lightweight insulated layer
Keeps you warm on the exposed summit during early morning hours.
