Sumbing

This huge mountain is separated from its similarly conical neighbour, Gunung Sindoro, by the Kledung Pass (1,404m) and is the second highest peak in Central Java. Its only known eruption was in 1730 but there is still minor volcanic activity in the crater. It is most commonly climbed from the north from the basecamp at Garung village, which is very near to Kledung where there is a decent hotel.

Rantemario

This Ribu is the highest mountain in Sulawesi and it is one of the least climbed 3000-metre plus peaks in Indonesia – maybe because it’s almost as much of an adventure reaching the start of the trail as it is actually climbing to the top. From the summit, the views over South and Southeast Sulawesi are stunning.
