Garuda Peak Hike
JOG/SP01
Rates : TBA

As one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia, Mt. Merapi has always been considered a top adventure destination. However most hikers reach the summit via the small village of Selo on Mt. Merapi's northern slopes. Climbing at night and reaching the top at dawn, the intense activity of the volcano is not experienced. Our hike begins in the morning at the village of Babadan on the western slopes. There we visit one of the six observation posts, which closely monitor the activity of the dome. We then hike safety along 1998 lava flow, allowing us to witness first hand and destructive power of the volcano. In the afternoon, after a hearty picnic at the foot of Garuda Peak, we begin to descent back to Selo, exhausted but satisfied by this ultimate experience.
