Bring a reliable headlamp
The trek starts before dawn—use a headlamp with fresh batteries to navigate steep, rocky sections safely.
Layer for cold and rapid warming
Temperatures near the summit can be chilly before sunrise but warm quickly once the sun rises—pack a warm layer that stows easily.
Wear shoes with traction
Trail is loose volcanic scree; trail runners with good tread or light hiking boots reduce slipping on ascent and descent.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry 1–2 liters and drink small amounts regularly—altitude and early start can dehydrate you faster than expected.
Headlamp or flashlight
Essential for pre-dawn navigation and hands-free climbing on steep trails.
Sturdy trail shoes
Good grip on volcanic scree improves safety and comfort during ascent and descent.
Light insulating layer
A warm layer for summit chill that can be removed as the sun rises and temperatures climb.
winter
Light rain jacket or shell
Protects against tropical downpours common in Bali’s wet months and wind at the summit.
