What makes a great Monday morning? Sleeping in? Do not wear clothes until lunch? How about summiting one of the most active volcanoes in the world via a treacherous trek three hours through dense jungle at night with only a torch as your eyes, followed by a rise of one kilometer at an angle of 70 degrees above the loose rocks? If you feel like the last option that you are either blissfully insane or completely ready to climb Mt. Merapi in central Java, which also requires the aforementioned madness.
Whatever the skill and experience, it may be escalating, it is still highly recommended to hire an experienced guide, someone who can not show the way, but also warning hikers at all hazards and dangers. This is especially important for those wishing to fully summit the mountain, as Merapi killed several people in the past, including naïve photographers who lost their footing on the loose rock and seasonal climbers who unfortunately were intended for rolling rocks screaming down the mountain. So remember, even if jumping pictures are pretty cool, it's just important to keep on stable ground, not atop a volcano. The intense view from the top of Merapi is not for everyone, but sometimes the most phenomenal things in life requires a bit of danger, and climbing Mt. Merapi is certainly one of them.
Make Merapi extraordinary expedition can also be budget-friendly as well. In Yogyakarta there are many small travel shacks that offer hiking packages Merapi. Jl. Prawirotaman, opposite the popular coffee department, incredibly friendly Business Travel will offer a group of friends would need to start an adventure Merapi, which only costs 0,000 IDR for three people. Various agents can be found on Jalan Sosrowidjian in Jogjakarta, and, all for a very reasonable price. Without venturing into Jogjakarta, the easiest place to base camp at Mt. Merapi is located in New Selo, where guides can also be rented for friendly prices. There is a catch / benefit of starting an adventure with Merapi travel agents, as most of their Mt. Merapi packages offer a climb that began around 1 am, where hikers arrive on the set of Bubrah pasar or top of the mountain as the eye of the day (poetic translation "sun" in Bahasa) starts to peak on the horizon, encapsulating the entire landscape in a surreal beauty of the morning which will be etched in her mind forever come. However, night climbing requires a torch and, more importantly, warm clothing; it will become very, very cold. Also, as the day progresses Mt. Merapi is known to secrete certain gases, which makes the morning climb much safer in terms not to inhale the hot and toxic volcanic gases such as sulfur dioxide.
The last summit of Merapi will loom in the near distance, torment and climbers tempting, but those starving legs will be totally surprised and filled with the exquisite attitude pan during the sunrise. Some Bubrah pasar will not be enough to call the work of a day, especially with the peak of Mount Merapi hysterical laugh in their faces stern and determined. Rising Bubrah pasar summit takes between an hour and an hour and a half, depending on the skill and speed. Despite the skill, slow and comfortable speed is highly recommended, as a whole the rise is based on the balance in the loose volcanic sand, loose rock climbing and never look down the steep slop. There are stories of climbers making it halfway up the climb and panic after looking down, freezing and shaking the nearest rock for dear life, unable to move. One misstep can turn into a deadly disaster, so climbers should beware of their soles and hand placements: check the rocks before use. To the summit is something that the author of this article refuses to detail, as that would be a terrible injustice to the feelings of standing on top of one of the worlds most active volcanoes.
After the climb down in the morning, passing farmers hard at work and warungs opening at base camp New Solo, hikers are treated to breakfast and a tour sleepy return where he was, they came. Using one of many travel companies in Jogjakarta, the entire climb will be organized and adapted to the capacity of the hikers and wishes, making the entire trip a fantastic experience. In addition, since Mt. Merapi is just about 28 km from Yogyakarta, a Mt. Merapi shipping can be perfectly complemented by a trip to the famous Borobudur temple, where hikers can then learn more about how they had already reached nirvana that cold morning and unforgettable; one where the entire region was under a silhouette of the golden morning sun and clouds rolled lazily on the lower peaks below where they stood above the origins of the fire.
