This mountain has a large lake, Danau Gunung Tujuh, which is the highest of its size in Southeast Asia. It has seven peaks (hence the name) of which only three have been climbed, according to Wikipedia, and are presumably the remains of an ancient crater rim.

Considering how accessible Gunung Kaba is, it is remarkable that it isn’t one of Sumatra’s most famous natural attractions. Not only is it reachable on a regular weekend from Jakarta (via a flight to Bengkulu) and close to a lovely hotel, there is also a narrow asphalt track up the mountainside followed by a couple of hundred steps up to the spectacular volcanic scenery that awaits on the crater rim. Given just how stunning the panorama is and how little effort is required to reap such a reward, it really doesn’t get any easier than this!
This peak is the highest point of the island of Panaitan off the remote south-western coast of Java in Ujung Kulon National Park.

Panaitan Island has outstanding wildlife and jungle – expect to see rusa deer, kancil (mouse deer), monkeys, python, and a wide variety of birdlife.
