The people in this area are NASTY and will try to rip you off and threaten you. The same regarding trying to climb Mt. Batur on your own --- you will be confronted by the Mt. Batur Mafia --- young thugs who will threaten you with machettes if you don't pay them to climb "their mountain". I say Forget this area entirely. Climbing Mt. Bromo on Java is much better anyway.
