I was in Bali for over 1 week during Easter holiday, originally I planned to trek few volcano mountains. Unfortunately I was a solo traveller and I couldn't sign up trekking tours unless I'm with another company, overall Bali's not really the best place for solo traveller because it seems everything requires for two as minimum: cooking classes & all kinds of tours.
My initial propose to come to Bali for so many days was trekking but I was real dissapointed that the tour arrangment was like this there. Eventually I paid for solo tour to Mt Batur, costed me double but everything was worthwhile. Because I got an excellent guide who's so helpful and nice.
The driver picked me up at 1am, and we drove for 2 hrs to arrive the base of Batur, it's almost full moon at that time, the moon's so bright and we almost didn't need to use flashlight to see the path.
We climbed to the peak after 1 hr, at about 5am, it's rather easy uphill because just few areas being steep and rocky.
I drank my tea to wait for the sunrise when the guide's cooking me volcano steamed eggs and banana sanwich. 
Apr seems to be the raining season in Bali already, I was lucky to climb on a sunny day (it was raining the whole afternoon and night the day before). We waited patiently. At about 6am, we started to see the sunray, and I was getting so excited to see the sunrise. Unfortunately it's a bit cloudy it's like over half hr the sun's still hidden inside.
At nearly 7am, we finally got to see the sun. People're all excited and happy, I managed to take few shots.
After the sunrise, I walked around the crater, extremely narrow in some areas and a helping hand was always there.
We went downhill from another path, which's rather sandy and difficult, walking stick's highly recommended here. It took me like an hour going down. When the guide's driving me with his bike to return to the base, we stopped and took this nice pic of the whole volcano, feel accompanished that I just walked along the crater and climbed to the peak just 1 hour ago.
Life's beautiful with nice views and people!
