点评:Like most of the other reviewers, I give 5 stars. I completed the hike early July 26, sharing it with another foreign hiker (Britt from a review below - hello Britt! :). Considering the inherent practical limitations of the relatively remote place and trail, the organisation from Nurul (from Visit Tambora) cannot be faulted. The staff on the ground have been exceptional, doing whatever was required to assist and making this trek a positive and memorable experience. I’d like to thank our porters/guides and other support staff that formed part of the experience: Wahuan, Radhi, Mahdi and Putu, who should be commended for their excellent job to make it a smooth experience and to allow me/us to focus on the hiking.
Therefore I can only recommend this hike that requires some good fitness (2000 m of uphill in 2 days) and a sense of adventure (this place being mostly absent of foreigner tourists, the hike provides a full immersion with authentic local people who know limited foreign language, e.g. English). It is however not a technical hike and within reach to seasoned hikers (who say could manage the odd 15+ to 20 km day hike - noting this one is about 40km (?)). I am in my early 50s, an experienced hiker (not mountaineering), fit for my age. I had a fantastic time. Thanks to all the crew of Visit Tambora!
翻译:和大多数其他评论者一样,我也给5星评价。我在7月26日early完成了徒步,途中还遇到了另一位外国徒步者(就是下面评论中提到的Britt——嗨,Britt!)。考虑到这个地方和步道相对偏僻且存在诸多实际限制,Nurul(来自Visit Tambora)的安排堪称完美。当地的工作人员也极其出色,他们竭尽全力提供帮助,让这次徒步成为了一次愉快又难忘的体验。我要感谢那些为此次行程提供帮助的背夫、向导及其他工作人员:Wahuan、Radhi、Mahdi和Putu。他们出色的工作确保了行程的顺利进行,也让我能够专心享受徒步的乐趣。
因此,我强烈推荐这次徒步活动——当然,参与者需要具备良好的体能(两天内需攀登2000米的海拔高度)以及一定的冒险精神(因为这里几乎没有外国游客)。这次徒步之旅让我得以完全沉浸在当地文化中,遇到的都是只会说少量外语(比如英语)的当地人。不过这并非技术性很高的徒步路线,对于有一定经验的徒步爱好者来说也完全能胜任(他们通常一天能走15至20公里左右;而这条路线全程约40公里(?))。我今年五十出头,是一名经验丰富的徒步爱好者(但并非登山者),身体状况也符合我的年龄水平。这次旅行真是我一段美妙的体验。感谢Visit Tambora的所有工作人员!
