We did it over 2 days. We left Ubud, had lunch at a restaurant in Penelokan (it sits right on top of the crater and the views are awesome) and then caught a bus into Toya Bungah (spelling, name, it's been a while). It's a shitty little lakeside village with very little to do there - you can take a swim in the lake. We did a bit of a rekky to see where the path was but there was a little info booth and the guides are there if you want them to take you up. We set off at 3am and pottered our way up. All the way up, the path was lit up intermittently by a lightning storm over 100 km away. Truly amazing how dark it was. We got up there and we were the only ones. If you decide to do this, take a jumper - it's bloody cold after you stop moving and before the sun comes up.
Oh, buy your torches in Ubud.
With regard to haggling, it is good sport, but it's only when you stop and work out what sort of money you are haggling for that you realise you are arguing over 20 cents. Meh, take it and good luck to him.
