Bali tourist interned after the spiritual page walk without a guide

A tourist in Bali was revoked his visa after being caught walking in a cultural and spiritual place without a guide.

Mount Agung, located in Karangasem Regence, in the northeastern corner of Bali, is considered a place of residential gods.

Climbers – whether domestic or international, must be accompanied by a guide on the trails of the Holy Volcano.

However, a Norwegian man, known by his initials BG, has since been expelled from the popular island by immigration officials after failing to adhere to strict rules and regulations.

The 41-year-old walked the volcano without a guide and was forced to leave the country, taking a flight to Kuala Lightpur on February 20.

He was suitable for staying in Indonesia on his visitors’ visa until March 3 after entering the site on February 2.

However, his stance was shortened for violating the law, with his revoked visa.

“The foreign citizen was provided by Singaraja immigration officers based on a report by local authorities,” Hendra Setiawan from the Singaraja Immigration Office said.

“After receiving the report, we immediately feel a team in the location and we provided foreigners interested in further questions in the office.”

The 41-year-old is allegedly given advice by the climbing manager to Mount Agung not to increase tracks only, according to the National Indonesian publication Compass.

Setiawan has since prompted climbers who want to travel Mount Agung to register a local guide, whether directly with an independent guide or through a travel provider and tournament.

His warning comes after another tourist was interned for the same reason.

The climber, who goes to the KES initials, reportedly also tried to deceive officers in the post of walking, saying he would visit only the Pasar Agung temple.

Mount Batur is the second toughest roof of the island, while Mount Agung stands at 3031m.

While the peaks are not as challenging as the Himalayas or Andet, the walking trails are objectively challenging and, in parts, treacherous.

As such, tourists remember not to grow solo and enter them register a local guide.

Yeardo year, approximately half dozen tourists are seriously damaged or die on both slopes, usually when they try to summit peace without a guide.

In May last year, a 29-year-old Dutch woman died in hospital after falling into the Holy Volcano.

She and her partner departed through the Pasar Agung temple road and did not hire the services of a local guide, as required, according to Bali Sun.

The 29-year-old reportedly slipped and fell 15 million in a deep valley. The woman’s condition withdrew and she died shortly thereafter.

It takes approximately five to seven hours to climb Mount Agung which is over 10,000 meters above sea level.

Tourists are encouraged to consult with their hotel for information about registering a guide to climb to each roof.
