Gunung Semeru, the highest peak in Java, is a must-visit for adventure enthusiasts. This active volcano offers a challenging hike, especially the final ascent through volcanic sand. Hikers typically start their journey at night to reach the summit by sunrise, witnessing the volcano's eruptions every 15 to 90 minutes. The trek includes camping at scenic spots like Ranu Kumbolo and Kalimati, where hikers can rest and enjoy the natural beauty. While the hike is demanding, the panoramic views from the summit make it a rewarding experience.
