i am guide jotje lala many i guide people to klabat volcano accompy by tunas hijau eco guide in airmadidi many time we bringback rubist from the top. last i have been 0ne fammily from germany the top is very clean .next time if you like climb this mountain use the care enviroment. thank you.

I was there about 6 weeks ago and trail was not in good condition – took us well over 6 hours+ to reach the top. Departed around 6.30pm, took some down time on the way up for dinner and reached the summit around 2am. Camped out and saw the sunrise from the top.

Klabat is popular with local tourists but unfortunately that means there is a lot of rubbish at the summit camp sites. Recent rain and bad weather meant we had to negotiate around some recently felled trees.

For local guides ask around for the Kelompok Pecinta Alam (Nature Lover’s Group) – who are basically a bunch of super-friendly teenagers that have a clubhouse not far from the entrance to the park. For a small ‘donation’ (and if you pay for materials including food and water for the group) they are more than willing to bring you up and down the mountain, including side visits to the lake near the summit. They are a great resource. Police officers from the station should be able to direct you towards them.

For accomodation in Airmadidi village check out the homestay/kost/fitness center (?) combo about 1km down from the police station towards Menado. I think it’s called ‘Julia’s’ or something to that effect.
