The drive was longer than expected from Ubud but our driver Krisna made it very easy. Very safe considering the drive was mostly a single lane road. He made sure we were comfortable through out the ride. We were taken to the start of the hike where we met up with our guide Budi. The hike was mostly downhill on the way down. Lots of stairs (350 of them) but our guide did an amazing job of making us feel comfortable and safe. He was very knowledgeable and his English was very good. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.
PS - there is a water crossing so you’ll need good water shoes or sturdy sandals. Although if you are a frequent flip flop wearer you’ll be just fine! Also! Wear your bathing suit under your clothes as there are many opportunities to get wet and into the water.
