Very good experience - The tour is everage difficult, however it is quite hard to keep balance in the way down. Some parts of tour are dirty, so need to use dust mask

100% recommend! - 100% recommend! The drive in and out of Yogyakarta is long but did not feel so long because the car is comfortable, Ferry was a good driver and most of all the scenery was incredible. When it turned out that the primary route was closed, I was still able to hike up using an alternative route. The hike itself was challenging (steep) and took us about four hours up, two hours down. Ramli is a great guide ❤️❤️ despite being the mountaineering record holder he is very patient and encouraging with amateur guests 😂 Overall this is a fantastic day trip if you want some physical challenge, and an opportunity to see a different landscape outside of Yogyakarta city and the nearby countryside.

Amazing! - Highly recommend! Driver Ferry was on time, excellent communication. Very pleasant drive, car with AC and experienced driver. Guide Ramli was AMAZING! You can see he knows every stone of this mountain and he helped exactly when it was needed. Not too much, just exact amount of help and guidance. The lunch was wonderful! We really appreciated it! We were also offered a tea and snacks on the top of the mountain. Fellow hikers, this is not an easy hike, especially if you skip your cardio 😄 it’s equivalent of 300 steps, and its worth having a mask/tunnel scarf, wet wipes and spare clothes for road back, as the way up is quite dusty. The views are breathtaking! The memory of this experience is priceless!
