Stunning Semeru (Mount)

This was my second mountain after Gunung Kinabalu. We went here in November 2014. I was told it is the highest mountain on Pulau Jawa. Standing majestically at 3676 metre, Semeru or also known as Gunung Mahameru is still an active volcano in Indonesia. Recently it erupted in December and sacrificed around 57 lives. Anyway, me and my friends enjoyed our hike to the summit. It was a challenging trail yet beautiful view towards the summit. However, I am also annoyed with the amount of gravels that got into the hiking boots. Some of my stops involved getting rid of the small stones from my boot. As you climb, you can also see smokes and smell the sulphur so make sure to wear mask to avoid inconvenience. take as much pictures because the view is worth the climb for hours #semeru #mahameru #indonesia #pulaujawa #hiking
