Trekking Merapi volcano is one of the most popular outbound activities in Yogyakarta. You leave Yogyakarta late at night in a shared car. The hike starts late at night. This is the best time of the day to climb. The temperature is cool and fresh. As you climb Mt Merapi volcano you will see the twinkling lights of the villages in the valleys below. You arrive at the summit of the volcano just before sunrise. As the sun comes up over the horizon you get a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside.

It’s 1 hour drive to the volcano and a 4 to 5 hour hike to the summit. The trek is a shared tour and a minimum of two participants are needed.

The Key Information

You leave Yogyakarta in shared transport at 10pm at night. It’s a one hour drive from Yogyakarta to Merapi National Park and the base camp at New Sello. After signing in at the camp you can relax and have a hot tea. You will start hiking the volcano shortly after 12pm. An experienced guide will lead you up the volcano. For every three people hiking the volcano there is one guide. The guide will only go as fast as the slowest climber.geneci-testimonial

The hike to the top of Mt Merapi volcano will take you 4-5 hours depending on your level of fitness. From the top of the volcano you have an almost panoramic view of the surrounding countryside for sunrise. If you have a nice camera make sure to bring it. You can get really spectacular photos from here. After climbing the peak you’ll return to the plateau where the guide will cook you some breakfast.

The descent back down to the base of the volcano is tough. The hike will take you 3-7 hours depending on how fit you are and how much energy you have left. You’ll be happy when you finally reach the car park. At the end of the tour the driver will drop you off at your hotel in Yogyakarta.

Hiking Merapi Volcano is tough. It’s worth it for the beautiful views you’ll see from the peak of the volcano as the sun rises over the horizon.
