RECAP 2021
The Freedom Summit was a mountaineering expedition for Mental Health in October 2021 that faced many challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic and travel restrictions. The island of Bali entered PPKM, which is a state of lockdown and the Freedom Summit had to be broken up into smaller groups spanning nearly 5 weekends of mountain climbing.
The Freedom Summit trail was developed out of the Desa Ban region of Karangasem. This is the most impoverished area of Bali, seldom seen by tourists, and facing challenges in securing some of human life’s necessities of food and water. The trail took over 500 man-hours to complete and is absolutely stunning!
FREEDOM SUMMIT II
Freedom Summit 2 features 2 mountain climbs, 2 camping locations
and 2 Divisions.
Mountaineer Division - climbing Mount Abang through the Freedom Summit trail out of Desa Ban, Karangasem followed by a boat journey across Batur, camping again, and finishing with a climb of Mount Batur for a tangerine Sunrise.
Base Camp Hero - Family, Elderly, and Disabled friendly - climbing to the Freedom Summit campground from Jatituhuh village (approx 800 meters), aiding in setting up camp, helping with processes, and enjoying some great activities!
