Muria
MURIA
Muria is actually a mountain range with different peaks, of which Songolikur is the highest. Despite the spectacular views of the Central Java mountains and northern coastline from the summit, and the shortness of the hike itself, relatively few hikers come from afar specifically in order to climb it.

Western Hill is the highest point of the island of Penang (Pulau Pinang). Many visitors visit nearby Penang Hill, which was once a favourite colonial retreat, is easily accessible and features temples, restaurants, souvenir stalls, an owl museum and a pitcher plant garden.
Jerai
JERAI
Gunung Jerai is a very striking limestone mountain surrounded by flat land and located on Malaysia's west coast.

Merapi
MERAPI
This Ribu is the most active volcano in Indonesia. Its name literally means mountain of fire and it is one of the world’s 16 Decade Volcanoes. It can therefore be very dangerous indeed. There was a major eruption in 2006 but nothing on the scale of what happened in October and November 2010 when a series of devastating eruptions killed over 300 people across a radius of almost 20km from the crater.
