subject RE: Mount Kerinci Climbing
Hi Gilang,
The Kerinci mountain was amazing, so were your teams. Now everything
from this place is missing me.
The rest of the groups are also very happy from our experience in
the Kerinci volcano climbing. Thank you for the good organization,
hope soon you can help us for the next Indonesian summit we want to
see.
Have a nice day, Nikolay BONEV
Mount kerinci is located in Kersik tuo village in central Sumatra

elevation 3805Masl and the most active in Sumatra island.
Mount Kerinci located in the Kerinci Seblat national park. The
vegetation / Forest is dense. Very humid. Many of natural Spring
water. It is surrounded by Tea Plantation, such a beautiful scenery.
There are wild Sumatran Tigers live in the National Park. Few of
them sometimes seen nearby the Tracking Route. But local authority
