Mount Merapi Summit Hike Trekking, Jogjakarta - Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Mount Merapi (Gunung Merapi, 2911m) is a volcano in Central Java, looming over the cities of Yogyakarta and Solo (Surakarta).

Literally "Mountain of Fire", Mount Merapi is the most active volcano in all Indonesia — no mean feat — and it has erupted 68 times since 1548 and was largely responsible for the downfall of the Hindu Mataram kingdom and the desertion of the huge temple complex at nearby Prambanan. A massive eruption in 2006 covered much of Java in ash.

There are several features to enjoy if you like going tracking / hiking:
1. Sun Rise: similar to other mountains / volcanoes on this region, you may enjoy the glare of Sun Rise. Please take the NORTH route from Selo (via Blabak, Magelang Town) to enjoy this feature.

2. Volcano: Merapi is a living volcano. It has 4 years Eruption Period, means it is erupts every 4 years in average. If it is in a “Calm” condition, you may enjoy the beauty of its lava and steam flowing out the crater, from the summit. If it is on “Wild” condition people may admire the strength of nature from the nearest Resort (Kaliurang – 6 km from the crater) or even from your 5 star hotel windows at Yogyakarta City; some 30 km south direction from the volcano! Seeing glaring Hot Lava flowing down in the night, and Huge Pyroclastic Flows (Wedus Gembel, NUe Ardante) destroying everything in its path

3. Culture: Local Culture could be vaccinating. Every year, Local Sultan held a ceremony to give Merapi’s Guardian god a Gift to ask for mercy from its anger.
