Mount Semeru (3,626 m ), the highest volcano's mountain in Java island, a part of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park located north east Malang is one of my favorite mountain to spend my time and to train my spirit. From 1990 the first time I go there, almost every year I go back there especially on mid of august when we celebrate The Independence Day of Indonesia.
Trip to Semeru
Usually we need 4 days to go to Mt.Semeru. We can reach the mountain from Malang or Lumajang.

From Arjosari (bus station of Malang) take about one hour by public transport to Tumpang, than by Jeep go to Ranu Pane (2,200 m )the highest village before start climbing Semeru.
Ranu means 'lake", there is 2 lake in this village one is RanuPane about 1ha and the others is Ranu Regulo the smaller one. We can stand our night here at camping ground or small hotel and cottage operated by local and BTS National Park. Temperature here is very cold for tropical area, at day light it's around 4-10 Celsius, some time it can be minus at night.
Start climbing, our next destination is Ranu Kumbolo (Kumbolo Lake). Need 5-6 hours climb the green rain forest hill with vary of trees, up and down the hill some times with very extreme route. Ranu Kumbolo is the largest lake (14 ha) on Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park area with very clean water. There is a shelter for spend our night here.
