Posted by : Harmawan's Site |

Actually, we just know in one route to climb there, it's easiest as far as we know
If somebody knows that there's another or alternative way for easiest, please correct for our articles and thank you


The easiest way :

you may climb from Bondowoso district straight to Sumber Wringin village through Sukasari sub district by truck. From here, you will through “Pines Garden” and coffee plantation area to Pondok Motor. If you arrive here at night, you may overnight in the camp area. It caused that trip to the peak need time for about 9 hours

From Pondok Motor, you walk again through a large garden in a hour then we entry the challenge forest. Why ? You have to know that when you begin to this forest, you will find climb route with angle in about 20 degrees

After 2 hours you walk here or about 1300 to 1400 m, we will find “the curved and up – down way”. It’s happened until elevation in 1500 – 1600 m above sea level. When you are here, you will see the “cemara (casuarina) tree” and you may continue to “Pondok Sumur”. It’s located in 1750 m above sea level which climb will be difficult and steep climbing. This road is filled by scrubes and we must climb to Pondok Demit in 3 hours again

We continue to climb in 8 hours again to forest border and its called by “Pondok Mantri” or many local people say this location as “Parasan” in elevation about 2900 – 3000 m above sea level. You may spend your time here with “camping”.

This camping area is the nearest to peak of Mt Raung where need to climb in about 2 hours to arrive there. We climb there with challange road again where sandy route and stones will receive you in elevation about 3.332 m above sea level

Now, you are in the peak of Mt Raung. It’s very amazing scenery from here where you may look at around of you clearly and Raung’s crater in the center of this peak. To reach this crater, you must climb to down and no good route to be there. It’s only one way but very difficult and danger. You must be experience in climbing and expert, but if you ere otherwise, we give you advice that “better you don’t continue this challenge”. High risk……

When you are will to climb to down, you must prepair your climbing tools as best as you can, also rescue tools. It’s high risk, so you must concentrate, focus and guided by local experience guiding. This man knows well to reach the crater
