Trekking in Indonesia

Indonesia is an adventure paradise and a hot destination for the seasoned and amateur trekkers. It is divided into five geographic regions- Sumatra, Java, Bali, Kalimantan and Eastern Indonesia that includes places like Lombok, Komodo, Nusa Tengarru, Maluku and Papua; each contributing to a diverse range of the best mountains and trekking tours in Indonesia. People who have an immense love for climbing a mountain or trekking through the cliffs to watch the ethereal sunrise or the unreal landscapes, they are in for a treat in Indonesia. The island country is festooned with dramatic landscapes of the volcanic mountains and glittering white sand beaches that can fill your camera memory. The sunrise trek on Mount Batur in Ubud where you are actually walking on an active lava mountain trail or trekking expedition to the summit of Batur Caldera where you can take a dip in the hot springs are some of the highlights which are as impressive as they sound.

Berastagi in Sumatra is another region that houses two active volcanoes, Mount Sinabung and Mount Sibayak, the latter of which last erupted in 2013. Swim in the volcanic water of Lake Toba, the caldera lake has the power to totally stun you by its appearance. You can also pedal around the island and beyond, cherish the warm Batik hospitality of the locals. The island of Borneo houses one of the oldest rainforests in the world and is home to several endemic species of wildlife, including the prehistoric species of birds, Bornean orangutan and leopards. The hike in these jungles is full of surprise but it is to be noted that these jungles have been there even before humans so these are equally dangerous. There is more to Bali and trekking in Indonesia will introduce to the raw wilderness of this land.
