VOLCANO MERAPI SUMMIT

VOLCANO MERAPI SUMMIT

 

.

The Volcano MERAPI is Special! She is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and lying in the backyard of Yogyakarta. To climb her takes some endurance, spirit and goodwill. If you have that you will make it to the end.

.

We will pick you up in Yogyakarta and bring you to the start of the climb around midnight. Packed with some decend shoes/sneakers, a backpack with enough water & snacks and warm (spare) clothes,  you will then acsent this ‘furious’ mountain. The idea is to be at the top before sunrise! The wind and altitude will make it cold, but the moment the sun comes up all this will be forgotten by the displays of purple, orange, red and yellow light coming from an unforgettable sunrise and after that the stunning views of Central Java landscape from 3100m above. Yes, then its PICTURE TIME!

We hope your snacks, the heat of the sun, the mesmorising views and a moment of rest have given you some more energy for the descent back to the starting point because gravity is not always your friend when the trail is steep, rocky and unpredictable.

When down all you want is to sit down and rest your legs and body for the next 24 hours. You will probably promise yourself that you will never do this again. But once back home or back on your travel the realisation will set in that this most likely was the HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR STAY and an experience not easy to repeat anywhere else in the world! The pain, sweat and endurance will be forgotten and you will want to come back for her sister and neighbour, the Mountain MERBABU…..
