Reviews
Some parts of the trail are steep and slippery and unstable in extreme weather because the path is not very well maintained conpared to other more developed countries. Hence although the hike does not require special technical skills there are many spots where accidents can happen.
Best moment: Reaching the peak because the that was when the weather and views were at theur best.
Least Enjoyed: Wading through deep patches of mud and slippery slopes.
Crews are friendly and hospitality. Especially when the moment we hiking, greater chance to get to know other peoples. Better guidance to us and we enjoyed it.
Best moment: Kerinci Base Camp and Danau Gunung Tujuh. There’s greatest breathtaking ever and able to take drone photos for my memories.
Least enjoyed: Kerinci Summit, due to cloudly which less visions and unable to take an aerial photos.
Least enjoyed: Maybe the long road trip.

4 Days Mt Semeru Trek
Located in the heart of earth’s ring of fire belt and towering tall at 3,676 masl, Mt. Semeru is the highest peak in Java, and the third tallest volcano in Indonesia. With its tough climb that tests the limit of one’s mettle, not only physically, but also mentally, it rewards those who manages to conquer it with heavenly vistas: the serene lake of Ranu Kumbolo, the paradisiacal lavender-filled meadow of Oro Oro Ombo, and the majestic view of Java in the summit of Mahameru, makes it the dream of almost all local mountaineers aspire to ascend. Mt. Bromo, at 2,329 masl, is the most iconic natural landscape in Indonesia. Even with its top completely blown off, it still beckons majestically with the crater inside constantly belches white sulphurous smoke. It may be not the tallest mountain in Indonesia but its stunning beauty lies in its unearthly dramatic setting, which swoons many travelers with its incredible golden sunrise

The Wildest trek we Offer is Sumatran Tiger Trek. We will bring you far to the Primary Rainforest and through Sumatran Tiger Habitat.

02 Days Baduy Tribe Trekking
Hands-on interaction with the local tribe of Indonesia. Trek into the inner village of an isolated community that turn their back away from modern technology, experience being surrounded by natural lush forest and stories of ancient superstition culture, and observe the local traditional way of living and handicrafts making.
