Description

Mt. Agung is an active volcano in Bali, Indonesia. It is the highest point on Bali, and dominates the surrounding area, influencing the climate, especially rainfall patterns. From a distance, the mountain appears to be perfectly conical. At the top, there is a large and deep crater. The trail begins at the base of the mountain near the Pura Pasar temple. Most visitors hire a guide which can be found for 900,000 IDR in the parking lot. Without a guide, it costs 100,000 IDR to hike. At the beginning, the dirt trail is short and steep.

Description

The mountains surrounding the small town of Torridon are some of the finest in the entire Highlands. This route traverses Beinn Alligin and the western part of Liathach  (two out of the three top mountains in Torridon) in a clockwise direction by squeezing in as much vert as possible in as little distance as possible while still making a loop through Torridon itself along the coast.
