Super

They met dawn on the mountain a few years ago, but when they returned to Bali could not resist repeated ascent. If you have good physical training, then you will be easily, but if not, you will have to sweat. But believe me seeing it is worth it.

Agung (Company: Maps Bali Tour)

Super

We rose to the Volcano Agung. Height 3150 m. It was difficult. It was unrealistic. Skiddy, scored legs ... wet from sweat things. When you get up, I don't want to drink. When the stony surface begins, it becomes cold and the wind. Highly strong wind. And here is scary and very dangerous. But when you reach the height, you shout as abnormal. Before you, it opens such a kind ... until you see yourself, you will not imagine. You descend even longer than rose. Sneakers, all are killed. You can't walk if you can not go for sure, and you do not want. For the sake of type, emotions and personal record it is worth going there. But I recommend to take warm things. And tune in to the fact that climbing up you swallow yourself, for the fact that you decided to do one day.

Super

Raised at night. The road, as we already learned at dawn, goes for the converged lava, through the jungle. Take more water with you, yes, it's hard to rise with her, but you can not buy it anywhere, even before lifting. Dress up very comfortable shoes, do not dinner tightly. You will have to climb through huge cobblestones, somewhere even jumping and with each meter climb everything is harder. At the end of the lift you will be rewarded with a stunning view. For such a lift, good physical training is required.

Rested on Bali in June. In two weeks visited almost all the corners of Bali, they were engaged water sportsBut the most vivid impression, without a doubt, remained from climbing the peak of the Agung Volcano. If you have good physical training and does not spin from the head of the head, it means that I strongly recommend doing this climb! Shrouded in darkness and frightening non-clear sounds night jungle, narrow paths with cliffs around the edges, sharply changing the landscape, climbing the steep slopes of rocks, fascinating the view of the island as on the palm, and, finally, the huge bowl of the crater at the peak is the minimum of what awaits you .

Super

The incredible power of the mountain and a magnificent view that opens from the mountains of all efforts. But what would go there it is still to prepare. Climb the Agung is better at night until hot. Upstairs can be cool, so you need to take a jacket. Climb from two to four hours, depending on physical training. It is worth taking water and chocolates and sandwiches. Flashlights, sneakers necessarily. Camera, very necessary. If Mr. Agung seems to you unbearable, then look at the battle. It is lower, but not less beautiful.

Agung (Company: Maps Bali Tour)

Super

Stunning sensations to meet the dawn at the highest point of the island of Bali - Volcano Agung! Infinitely pulled by the stars sky, green Island As on the palm with traces of lava from the previous eruption, the crown, the shadow from the volcano, the adjacent islands and the mountains, white fluffy clouds !! And it's all in one place !! But to enjoy this beauty will have to try to very much !! Sit down heavy! Only for people in good physical form! Guide take sure

On the island of Bali, which began the eruption of the Agung volcano, was stuck about 60 thousand tourists, 300 of them are Russians. In the near future, they will be taken out by ferries on the islands of Java and Lombok, reported on the page of the Russian Embassy in Indonesia in Facebook. About how the fire mountain ruined the rest of the travelers - in the material "World 24".

"The eruption is inevitable"

Volcano Agung strengthened its activity back in September, however highest Pick She reached at the end of November. This is the second eruption over the past week. The island airport temporarily ceased its work, 445 flights were canceled, 59 thousand tourists cannot leave the island.

As pointed out in the local catastrophe mitigation agency, "inevitable." The level of threat has been increased from the third to the fourth. Today, the eruption has passed from the final phase (emissions of water vapor) to igneumatic. Clubs of smoke accompanied by explosive eruptions, and the sounds of weak explosions are heard at a distance of 12 kilometers from the peak of the volcano. From the fiery mountain began to go lagar - a stream of lava and stones capable of destroying residential buildings. The most dangerous zone is a radius of 8-10 km from the foot of the volcano.

This is the second eruption of Stratovulkana Agung over the past week. The first thing happened on November 21 - then smoke from the volcano rose to a height of 700 meters from the crater. The agency to overcome the effects of natural disasters estimated the level of volcanic activity as the fourth of four possible. On Sunday, a column of smoke from Crater rose to the height of four thousand meters, and therefore the eruse was assigned the highest (red) threat level for air transport.

At first, Indonesia's authorities closed the airport of Lombok island after the second eruption. And then closed international Airport On Bali for 18 o'clock, the SBS News TV channel reported.

Nevertheless, the event itself is not extraordinary, for the region, which, in fact, was formed as a result of volcanic activity.

As the former correspondent of RIA Novosti Mikhail Tsyganov told, a long time living on Bali, in total in Indonesia about 600 volcanoes, of which about 130 existing ones. "I am 25 kilometers from the crater of the volcano. It can be seen in different ways depending on the weather. Usually it is visible in the morning and late in the evening. Yesterday I saw him fine. Today, the top was tightened," he told.

Panic no

According to Tsyganov, local residents, and most of the tourists perceive what is happening calmly, do not panic. "Panic" is observed mainly in the media, especially on television, which loves bright pictures, and from the part of tourists who have not yet completely figured out where they turned out, "he explained.

Ah, Bali - Bali! The island is a fairy tale ... Island - Dream ... But since the beginning of August 2017, the tourist flow here from fat turned into a very narrow one. Especially before the beginning of November. And the reason for this is the volcano Agung and his probable eruption.

Agung is a volcano, which is worth it here on the island and periodically ticks the nerve to all local residents and tourists at the same time. The last time the volcano Agung taped them to people about 54 years ago and now began to wake up in August 2017. And this is not just a volcano on a second. This is super - volcano! This means that if he shaggy - it will not seem little!

To whom and what will not appear little, how to behave on the island, if he still starts to erupt? And in general: is it dangerous to relax at Bali in 2017-2018? In today's article first-hand, from the employee of our edition, which is already there for a month and is not going to leave. 🙂

By the way, if you want to visit one of the volcanoes of Bali Island, then you can do it. - approx. Editorial

Volcano Agung on Bali

Volcano Agung from Indonesian language translates as "big". And it is nearby (just 50 km.) From this dangerous Mahina we settled exactly 1.5 months ago. While in Russia, we have already heard that a large dangerous mountain began to wake up and can start erupt at any time. When we learned about it, the tickets were already bought, and we decided not to change plans, despite the danger.

In addition, we are on the island not for the first time and have already managed to have several Russian friends who live here constantly. They told us that the danger exists only directly for people near the volcano. So - the situation is very local. The worst thing that may happen - the airport will be closed. But in this case, here you can get from the capital of Indonesia - Jakarta by water.

In general, weighing everything "for" and "against", we realized that we would go. For the past few days before departure, we feverly followed news from the media, giving themselves the report that journalists are forced to exaggerate everything. Today, the news about Agung is still kept in the voltage of many Russians. But! About everything in order ...

Volcano Agung woke up

Agung woke up! As a thunder among the clear sky, this news broke out on the Internet and on the radio since August 2017. I personally still surprise me - how this information did not get into the TV?! It is thanks to this, my mother still does not know anything about it and lives calmly for the polar circle, which is unaware of danger that wanders 50 km from her beloved daughter. 🙂 But on the radio and on the Internet, journalists drew a very sad picture ...

That they say today the volcano Agung woke up and if anyone - not spare anyone! Someone, of course, madly rejoiced: "And it is too good to all those who go to Bali! Let them suffer too, scum! :-) "Other wildly frightened and passed tickets, others decided to relax in more safe placeFourth - such as scumbags, as we, gathered suitcases and went to their own risk. And what, actually, was the risk?

But what:

could close the airport, and for a long time. It would have to be worried about the tickets, search for the way across the ferry from Jakarta - and this whole adventure is not very comfortable and very long.
volcano still can be shaken at any time, and no one guarantees anything. Well, that is, it will have to be disassembled not only to those in the zone of defeat. The airport will close, there will be problems with the supply of food on the island, there will be some time for some time a volcanic ash ... Real Silent Hill (who in the topic, understood). :)
and to the heap: poisonous substances can spread from the volcano from the volcano, and it may well spill on the heads of local and tourists - toxic rain ... and then everyone will not last! Not only residents of the mountains ...

"Beauty" ... isn't it?!

At least - so the situation was outlined in the media. Yes, the media, of course, love to embellish everything, but damn ... After all, no one gives warranty that everything will be wrong at all! 🙂 We understood it.

But after arriving at the island, we met a smiling Baliens who assured that there is no danger. What Agung changed his mind to erupt and again decided to fall asleep ... and the type there is no real threat to tourists, and then in the 63rd simply no one really had any cars nor motorcycles - these are people and hit the situation in which many died ... They just did not believe until the end, that he would blow up and eventually - did not have time to leave the lesion zone ... Somehow so!

He finally reassured us with the words that he had 4 km right now. From the epicenter and worry at all!

Of course, it encouraged it - I will say right. But, still remained doubts ... Then we decided to go straight into the defeat zone and see handsome with their own eyes! So, Volcano Agung and the latest events on Bali - eyewitness through the eyes :).

Latest news about Agunga by the beginning of November

News about Agunga In early November, the network has already been so dubbed. The latter dated mid-October. Just at this time we went there and drove. Full moon tracked, as the volcanologists scared that the biggest risk of the explosion is just in the full moon, sat on the bike and drove.

Local told us that the most best view The mountain opens from the neighboring super volcano - Battur. Which, by the way, who has long been sleeping with a strong sleep for a long time. It is more Agung many times. And if the bastards are torn, then the whole island may accidentally actually go under the water ... But the current information is the Agung on Bali today.

Traveling to Active Agung

News about Volcano Agung to Bali, as I said, did not stop us from the trip directly to the defeat zone - that is, 9 km. From his taper. On the way to a meeting with the "Pugitel" of a million tourists, we met:

1. Elegant tangerine grove with fresh tangerines.

2. A stunning view of the neighboring mountains from the battur volcano.

3. Bush! Oh, gods, this bright bush.

Super, as always - beautiful road to place and shocked views on the way. We are pleasing to the chamber and moved directly to Aguang.

UPD from 28.11: Agung volcanic eruption

And it would seem, everyone has already been subrasted, and the Agung still arranged an eruption! Honestly, I admitted when I only got to write this article. Local residents have already said the whole choir that everything - eruption will not. And it take yes and start!

November 21, just after we met my young man's mother, who came to visit us from Russia, Agung began to erupt. Right as on request! But I have a hurry to reassure all the suffering blood and sensation: nothing terrible is happening.

The volcano costs himself and pouring ray. This is a steam eruption of Agunga. The only moment that really strains tourists and local residents - This is a small flood. Because of the huge amount of hot evaporation on the island, such a large-scale tropical shower spilled, which they say that even slippers on the road were swam! 🙂

Why say? Yes, because we ourselves are not at Bali now, but next to the islands of Gili. And today we have been convicted from the island of Gili - Eyre even a little smallest over Bali. I hope in a couple of days to our arrival all this apocalypse will end and we can safely move to Thailand! 🙂

Agung on Bali today

Angung's activity in August - September 2017 made a lifting of many local residents seriously. They regularly prayed to local spirits so that they were soapying again dangerous mountain. Agained the lush ceremonies in their temples. And it seems that their collective intention gives their fruits. Volcano Agung - erupts only ferry. The ceremony itself is carried out here in such temples:

Angung's eruption on Bali really does not bring serious damage to the island just some kind of miracle!

Probably, therefore, 3 km. before the lesion zone, when we went to the volcano and October, we were stopped by some Balinese women, glued to us rice in the forehead, lit our bike, put on some kind of wooden beads on the neck, twisted, they were whispered and let me let further! 🙂

Probably, therefore, 3 km. Before the lesion zone, we were stopped by some Balinese women, glued to us rice in the forehead, lit up our bike, put on some wooden beads on the neck, twisted, they spun something and let me down! 🙂

We were not strong, of course, reassured, but it became somehow easier ... and in the soul, and in your pockets ... So - as the priestesses of the island of dreams, naturally, conducted a karma cleansing procedure for free. Karma cleaned now costs about 400 rubles for our money. Well, you see - life is more expensive! 🙂

Eruption of Volcano Agung in 1963

On the way to Volcano Agung, my faithful, of course, once again discussed the history of the 63rd year, when people were really injured (several hundred). Did they really pray to their gods near the latter, hoping that he would change his mind?! Getting acquainted with the local mentality, we increasingly come to the conclusion that - yes. So it was. The local people honor their land, their home, it is its place of birth. And without a difference, if even this place is in such a dangerous zone.

A possible eruption of Agunga to Bali does not prevent them from living a common life. That they lived their ancestors. Here is the inscription that right now we are in the zone of defeat or alienation, as it is also called:

But people who continue to fall asleep and wake up here ... Led to schools of their children, work, breakfast, dine and dinner ... Life continues:

To this day, there is a forum about Agunga on Bali, where people discuss - he will explode or not. Many members of the VKontakte community members also raise this topic. But recently most agreed that the danger passed ...

But, you know when you stand so close to the mountain ... the sensations are just unimaginable ...

I would go further, right back to the foot, but my young man turned out to be wiser and prudent, however, as always :). We drove past, and for dessert we were waiting for a beautiful beach, which is also in the exclusion zone. His name is Virgin Beach. Here he is a handsome man ...

It is said that before the sand was absolutely white. But after the Agunga eruption in 1968, he was mixed with volcanic lava and became such - with black spraces. But it is also fine ... I will write soon big Overview All the beaches of the island and, perhaps, give him the honorable first place in the top of my heart :).

And here is a view of the Volcano Agung with an entrance to the beach - Virgin Beach:

Conclusions about Agung in 2017

Agung on the map paradisk Islands Bali - Zanoza in the head of many tourists ... This dangerous neighbor does not give to sleep all the residents from Karangasem to Ubud, he makes everyone remember and realize very well: life is just a journey, and we: guests - on this earth. Whatever important we seem to yourself such a big volcano, as the Agung can intervene in the fate of each and break the most "solid" tomorrow, cross all our plans, disseminate all ideas, dreams and hopes in the shreds ...

So far, he just stands and releases up powerful steam poles, but no man could give a guarantee that there is an eruption of Agung to stop ... anything can happen! At any time…

Probably, that is why the inhabitants of the island are closest to the life of Buddhists and all sorts of enlightened. The main wisdom tells us: "Past - passed, the future - has not come yet, there is only - here and now ..." and no power of the world guarantees any of us that we will live in this light at least a minute ... that is why Balinese rejoice! Smile every day. Smile even during the funeral of their relatives. Yes, do not just smile, but sing and dance! 🙂

But something I completely went to philosophy ... Let's return to the facts:

Volcano Agung. - erupting the ferry right now. So far nothing is happening, but no one gives any guarantees.

Fabulous Bali attracts many tourists not only tropical nature and a distinctive culture, here there are two famous acting battur volcanoes (Gung-Battur) and Agung, as well as a dozen sleeping and extinct. The journey to these picturesque tops will turn into a real adventure, filled with emotions, vivid impressions and even the shares of extreme. Do you feel the spirit of the discoverer and are not afraid of climbing? Then forward, to the tops!

Like "Mother Mother" translates from a local Agung Dialect . This volcano is the most high point Islands. The following numbers will help estimate its scale:

height - 3142 m (according to other data 3014 m);
crater size in diameter 375x520 m;
crater depth is about 200 m.

Balinese has a beautiful legend about the origin of the volcano. It is believed that before Bali was a flat island where happy people and beasts lived. Seeing such proseons, the gods decided to settle in it themselves paradise place And the Agung was erected, from where they could watch the life of the island and the good deeds of its inhabitants. The most hardworking Balinese sacred bird Garuda took the top.

Today, on a bare top of Agunga, you will not meet the gods and a garua, but there should be to climb to see the most beautiful dawn in the world.

Climbing on Agung.

Climbing the volcano should occur only accompanied by an experienced guide, and it is necessary to choose routes in accordance with its physical training. The most popular route will begin with the western slope from the church of Pura Besakov at 23:00 and will take 5-7 hours, ending the dawn at the top of the top.

The second most popular path passes from the village of Semel. Waire journey will last only 3-4 hours and limit the 2860 m high, but you will see the crater of the volcano.

Today, the volcano behaves like a painka, but the inhabitants of the island remember the destructive eruption of 1963, when a number of villages have been afraid of lava and died about one and a half thousand people. In the fall of 2017, Agung again made itself felt, I had to evacuate anyone who was in close proximity to the rebellious mountain and stop airfares. Fortunately, no one was injured. In 2018, the Volcano Agung is closed to climb.

Volcano Batura

This volcano is located in the eastern part of Bali on the Calder of 368 square meters. km. Caldera is a pit, which was formed as a result of the collapse of the volcano. It is believed that more than 300 thousand years ago after powerful eruption, the walls of the ancient volcano felt, and he collapsed, forming a depression, where he was Battur.

The lake at the foot of the volcano is also a caldera. It is considered the world's largest with steaming water and local say that it guards the goddess of Water Devi Danan. In addition to the "Divine Guard" there is a common guard. To swim here is strictly forbidden, you have to admire the way.

Right at the foot, you can see several villages that are called "lake stars." People who risked to live in such close proximity to acting volcano, drives, not, not fearless, and the calculation. Each eruption makes the soil even more fertile, the lake is full of fish, and the handicraft production of souvenirs from volcanic tuff has been established here. Well, how to leave such a "bread" place?!

Information about Battail:

the height of the volcano is 1717 m;
cone height - 686 m;
the number of crater - 3.

Starting from the XIX century, 22 eruptions of different strength occurred on the battle. Once the Balinese even sewed a huge sarong and wrapped the volcano to them to draw the gods. Sarong Lee helped or rich sentences, but since the 60s, the volcano did not really prevent unpleasant surprises (small ashes and seismic activity are not counting).

Climbing on Batour

Journey to the volcano reminds walking. The lifting does not require physical training and takes only 2 hours. Guides are planning a journey in such a way that tourists get to the top at dawn. From here there is a magnificent panorama of Bali in bright dawn rays.

At the top organized viewpoint With cafe and shops where you can eat and relax. By the way, you rises not only you, but also prices - "Upstairs" the cost of water, tea and other things are much more expensive than at the foot.

Fun, which will certainly show you - cooking a pair of crater faults. Temperatures are enough to cook egg or fry bananas.

Any lifting to the top, whether it is difficult for Agung or more simple to battur, requires preparation. And therefore we offer you a few useful Soviets:

conquer the vertices of volcanoes is recommended in the "dry" period, and this is June-November;
fuely with a flashlight, lantern, warm things (at night the wind on the slopes are cold enough);
i recommend to wear comfortable anti-slip shoes;
there should be water in the backpack with a calculation of 2-3 liters per person;
start such an event is well rested and slept.

Are the volcanoes in Bali dangerous?

Despite the fact that the battur volcanoes and the aging are considered valid, they do not imagine serious danger.

Of course, the history of the island is eloquently testifies to unexpected manifestations of activity, but today specialists are very carefully observed for volcanoes, fixing all changes: an increase in temperature, seismic shocks, unusual behavior of flora and fauna. On check and rescue services that are ready to help and with the slightest danger to evacuate people.

So a little courage, adventurism, azart and unforgettable vertices of volcanoes are submitted to you, but maybe you will be conquered by them? Stanebeck noted: "Do not people create travel, and traveling people." And on Bali you will surely feel it.
