East Java

Some of the TOP Hotels in Bali

Bali's most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged every night of the week and the streets are full of arts-and-crafts galleries.

Mt. Arjuna: 3344 m. From the village of Pandaan, take a bemo or minibus to Tretes hill station (750 m). Immediately above Tretes one will find a cobblestone paved trail; take this one and not the one to the water creek. It's a very good highly used trail which leads to the summit. Mt. Arjuna has pine forests higher up and beautiful meadows. At 1600 m there's water and one small bush hut with just a roof, only a rain shelter. The trail continues to another water source at a sulphur mining camp at 2450 m and leads up to near the summit where there's a sulphur quarry. Duration: from Tretes to the top it would be a long day, up and back. Mt. Lawu: 3265 m. Approach Mt. Lawu from Madiun or Solo on the road from Sarangan to Tawangmangu. Go to the village of Cemorosewu (1840 m elevation) where there are two radio TV antennae. The trail begins 300 m to the west of Cemorosewu, immediately west of the bridge. A very good well used trail continues to the summit from there. The trail encircles the mountain and the final ascent is actually from the northeast. There are several huts plus emergency shelters on the way up: the 1st hut is at 2400 m, the 2nd at 2850 m, and the 3rd at 3100 m. A darma (pilgrims' hut) is at 3125 m elevation and there's another little shelter only 2 m from the summit. A shrine with baskets of flowers, and remnants of old temples and terracing are near the top.Mt. Semeru: 3677 m. Highest peak on Java. Mt. Semeru could be very active, booming. From Lumajang, take the road towards Pronojiwo. 5 km east of Pronojiwo there's a town called Supit Orang at 750 m. From here there's a dirt road up about 1 km towards the mountain to the town of Supit Orang II. Then from Supit Orang II up to Kamera (800 m elevation) it's approximately 2 km. There's traffic on these roads, the village truck, etc. At Kamera there are a lot of roads criss-crossing, but keep to the main trail to a point 200 m north towards the mountain, then turn and walk 300 m east of the main trail where there's a spring, the last chance for water. Then the trail goes up a slight slope for 2 km through sugar-cane at all different stages of maturity. Cut some and take it up the mountain with you for quick, pure and natural energy. At 1200 m, the highest portion of the sugar-cane cultivation, the trail ends. The best and easiest route from here right up through the forest is a dry creek bed. There are some bath-sized potholes in this creek bed which could contain water (it could also be stagnant). At 1700 m you emerge from the forest. See new volcanic flows coming down. Here you can camp right near the gully. Your tent is safe, nobody is around. To get to the summit simply go up the right side of the avalanche gully of lava straight to the top. Duration: for a fit person, two days from Supit Orang; for an unfit person, three days.
