“We did this trek on my 40th birthday and what a way to start my next decade! It started with a 2am pick up in Ubud and we got to the bottom of the mountain around 330am. We were given tea, a head torch, and a stick (if you wanted it). There were also toilets available at this point (none at the top so go before you start!). The hike began around 4am and it was dark, dusty and steep in places but our wonderful guide stopped whenever needed and knew good places to perch and have a water stop. The closer to the top you get the tougher the…”

Guides such as Phil, Velko, Kiril, Daniel, and Swet have helped adjust walks to weather and fitness. Finish with two hours at Sapareva Banya’s thermal pools.

“This tour was great, our guide was great, took us to see 5 of the seven lakes as there was too much snow to see the 6th and 7th. We saw incredible views. Only issue we had is that it was way more expensive than the tour description said. For the chair lifts it was 25lev return and for the spa it was 40lev. The description says that it would be 15lev for the spa this is a drastic difference and we probably would not have gone with this tour if we had known. The tour operators should update the description. We were not pleased by the miscommunication. Some people…”
