Mt. Raung Trekking Program via Sumberwringin 4D3N
Mt. Raung Trekking Program via Sumberwringin 4D3N: The Ultimate East Java Adventure
Mount Raung, an active stratovolcano in East Java, is part of the Ijen mountain range. It’s famous among seasoned trekkers for its challenging terrain, lack of water sources on the trail, and the need for technical climbing skills to reach its highest peak.
This exclusive Mt. Raung trekking program via Sumberwringin 4D3N offers you a chance to conquer one of Java’s toughest mountains. Our route takes you to the stunning “Tusuk Gigi” (Toothpick) peak, where you’ll be rewarded with incredible views of the massive caldera without the need for technical ropes.
Itinerary Highlights
Day 1: Surabaya to Mt. Raung Basecamp
We will pick you up in the morning from any location in Surabaya—be it the airport, train station, or your hotel. The journey to Sumberwringin village in Bondowoso will take around 8 hours, with a stop for lunch at a local restaurant. Upon arrival, we’ll check into a homestay at the basecamp, where you’ll stay overnight and prepare for the adventure ahead.
Day 2: The Trek Begins
After an early breakfast, we’ll take a local truck to Pondok Motor, the first shelter on the trail and the final point for any vehicles. From here, the true trekking begins. We’ll hike through a lush tropical forest, passing shelters like Pondok Sumur and Pondok Tonyok before reaching Pondok Demit. This is where we’ll set up camp for the night, allowing you to rest and acclimate before the final summit push.
Day 3: Summit Attack & Descent
We’ll start our summit attack at approximately 3:30 AM. From Pondok Demit, it’s about a 2.5-hour climb to the peak. You’ll pass Pondok Mayit and Pondok Angin before reaching the vegetation limit, marked by the memorial of Deden Hidayat. The final stretch to the summit is steep and rocky, requiring careful footing.
At the peak, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking sunrise and a spectacular view of the active caldera. After taking in the sights, we’ll descend to the camp at Pondok Demit to pack up our gear. The rest of the day will be dedicated to trekking down, with an estimated arrival at the basecamp in the late afternoon. We’ll spend the night at the basecamp to rest and celebrate your achievement.
