- 3 Days
- Volcano & Hiking
Challenging
Mount Arjuno and Welirang, are situated in the Malang region of East Java. The most popular starting point is via Tretes (760M), a 2 or 3 hours drive from Juanda Airport of Surabaya.
The Mountain is open all year for trekking, only in case of emergency such as fire or SAR is ongoing then the mountain will be closed for trekking.
Welirang (3.156M) although shorter than the sister mountain, Arjuno (3.339M), but considered more popular among climbers, due to the active crater and is still mined by the local sulfur collectors.
The best time to climb is April to September.
Adventure Indonesia will take you on a journey to some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring volcanoes in Indonesia that are perfect for climbing.
Upon your arrival at Surabaya airport by morning flight, your guide will pick you up at the airport then drive to Tretes area. From Tretes you will start trekking to Lembah Kijang Camp for about 4-5 hours trekking. Lembah Kijang base camp lays at the foot of Welirang volcano, we will pass through farmlands, meeting friendly locals and getting to see them at work on their farms and going about their daily activities. We’ll also trek through dense jungle where deer and other kinds of wildlife can be seen, if we’re lucky we might spot some of the local fauna. Lembah Kijang means ‘valley of the deer’ and during the night you may hear their loud calls to their mates.
