See all questionsHow do I book a hike?
Tap any "Book on WhatsApp" button and send Ketut your preferred date, the hike you'd like, and how many people are in your group. He replies personally to confirm availability, the price for your group and your pickup time. There's no online payment.
What is the best time of year to hike around Munduk?
The dry season, roughly April to October, has the firmest trails and the clearest mornings over the lakes. You can hike all year, though. In the wet season (about November to March) mornings are usually the driest part of the day, and the forest and waterfalls are at their greenest.
How fit do I need to be?
If you can walk for two to three hours with some uphill sections and uneven steps, you'll enjoy the easy and moderate hikes. Each hike lists its difficulty. Tell Ketut about any knee, back or heart problems so he can suggest the right route.
What should I wear?
Shoes with good grip (trail shoes or sneakers with a deep tread, not flip-flops), light quick-dry clothes, and a light rain jacket. Munduk is cooler than the coast, especially in the early morning. For temple visits, shoulders and knees should be covered; a sarong is often provided at the temple.
What is your cancellation policy?
Plans change, so just let Ketut know on WhatsApp as early as possible. Since nothing is paid online, there's nothing to refund. If weather makes a hike unsafe, Ketut will offer another date.
