Dieng (Prau)
DIENG (Prau)
The Dieng Plateau is a huge volcanic complex near the pleasant town of Wonosobo. It is quite rightly one of Central Java's leading tourist attractions and there are so many fascinating sites, both geological and historical, that it definitely makes sense to stay in Dieng village itself and properly explore the place. Colourful lakes, hissing and bubbling craters and numerous temples are dotted all over the landscape.
Beratus
BERATUS
On the map, Gunung Beratus is Balikpapan’s local mountain, lying just 60km away inland from this large city. However, what appears to be one of Borneo’s most accessible Ribus currently remains rather more complicated in reality. This is remote forest currently rarely-visited by hiking groups.
Raung
RAUNG
At over 2 kilometres in diameter, Gunung Raung has the largest crater in Java. It's one of the most remote and least climbed of the 3000-metre plus peaks which means that there isn't much litter on the trail and it really is a mountain to escape from civilization for a while. Whilst reaching the true highest point of Raung crater rim requires a 3-day expedition involving roped rock climbing, the most popular route to the rim itself is from the north at Sumberwringin.
Mekongga
MEKONGGA
Gunung Mekongga is the highest mountain in Southeast Sulawesi and one of Sulawesi's most interesting, with beautiful limestone karst at the summit. It is a long trail, requiring a minimum of 5 days, and the trailhead is close to sea level. Western and Indonesian scientific researchers have made trips here in the past and discovered new species.
Masurai
MASURAI
This Ribu is the highest peak in Jambi province (assuming you count Kerinci as in West Sumatra) and has two lovely highland lakes – Lake Kumbang and Lake Mabuk - which are of a smilar size to each other and were presumably once active volcanic craters. The normal starting point is Sungai Lalang (1,365m) – a 3 hour drive from Bangko on the Trans-Sumatran highway or just over 4 hours from Muara Bungo airport.
