There weren’t many people at the top to watch the sunset, even in August, which made the experience feel more authentic. Our guide Katut was very kind and experienced and made our trip a pleasure. Our driver Jero was lovely and even lent us his cap, since we had forgotten ours. Great experience all round, would definitely recommend!”
