Due
to its magnificence, many beautiful spots in Indonesia become the tourism
appeal for the tourists. Then, mountain is chosen as one of the nicest spots
mostly visited by the local and foreign tourists as well. Of course, the
tourists dealing with that are the mountaineers. They are who deal with
altitude, steep filed or peak of mountain. Yea, treading the peaks of the
mountains in which often considered as the place of god in every kinda mythological
story, hence not all tourists can pass it well. It absolutely requires special
equipments and good physical defence to tread steep fields before reaching the
highest peak and enjoying impressive view from the top. Apart from that, for
those who really want to hike over the mountain but you get a little bit afraid
of facing that steep one, just because you are a beginner mountaineer, don’t ever
worry about that, nature is still kind to you, there are also several beautiful
mountains can be visited without passing the difficult route or even without complete
hiking means, but still, provides the awesome natural view if you have reached
the peak. Those ‘friendly’ mountains obviously welcome everyone who wants to
have such a nice experience to be close with the nature and enjoy the view of the
world from the top of the mountain. To enrich your insight about the
magnificent mountains in Indonesia, here are the following short descriptions
about 7 most outstanding mountains in
Indonesia according to ‘IndoHiker’. Which mountains do belong to this category? Well, let’s
figure it out!!!

Who doesn’t know this impressive mountain? I
bet many people, especially the mountaineers, have already known this one, its
magnificence has been acknowledged by the world. Even some international media consider
this mountain as one of the most photogenic spots ever exists in the world.
Let’s have a look at the picture above, who isn’t amazed to see that marvellous
view? Actually, it isn’t really high (the highest summit 2329 mdpl), thus, it
exactly fits for those who want to have such first experience to climb and
enjoy the mountain atmosphere. Its location can be reached by the
transportation so that it eases you to visit this beautiful spot. Located in
East Java, belongs to 4 regencies, Lumajang, Probolinggo, Pasuruan, and Malang, and belongs to Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru
region as well. The sunrise timing is the panorama mostly pursued by the
tourists in this mountain.
Rinjani

One of the most beautiful and outstanding
mountains that becomes the favourite of so many mountaineers. It beautifully exists
in around Lombok Island, the beautiful island considered as destination tourism
place in Indonesia. It’s mounted enough. Supported by nice natural enchantment
makes Rinjani turn out as the spot that has so many visitors lately, local or
even foreign tourists. In this
mountain, the visitors will be amazed by some natural magnificence, one of them
that becomes so poplar around the visitors is Segara Anak lake. It’s kinda a huge lake located in the middle of
this beautiful mountain. Besides its marvellous magnificence, Rinjani is also categorized
as the second highest volcano in Indonesia right after Kerinci. That’s a strong
consideration why people are really fond of this mountain.
Semeru

It seems I don’t need to explain much about
this mountain. It’s been so popular among the mountaineers lately. so hard to explain
how beautiful this one. If i have to say, i’ts tremendously impressive. For
your information, this mountain is the highest one around Java Island.
Mahameru, its summit, is the legendary spot. Besides Mahameru, around this
mountain, the visitors can also find one of the most beautiful lakes in
Idonesia, so-called Ranu Kumbolo. This mountain has been already so familiar
after being used as the movie setting of ‘5 cm’ several years ago.
Unfortunately, the more familiar it is, the more dirtier it becomes because
after being so popular, many visitors come to this place but some of them, I
prefer calling them ‘unresponsive visitors’ throw the trash everywhere, that’s
why the beauty of Semeru is stained due to great abundance of trash.
Merbabu

route is fom Selo, Boyolali.
Papandayan

One of the most talked mountains around
Indonesia too. Hutan Mati and Tegal Alun are the two popular spots
over there. It becomes the favourite one because it fits for the beginner
mountaineer. It’s reachable with the easy route. Located in Garut, West Java.
Thsis mountain becomes the nice destination spot for every mountaineer around
that region due to its location that is not so far and easy to access.
Kelimutu

You will be amazed by the lake located around
the peak of mountain; the water of the lake is really gorgeous, it provides various
colours, it must be so impressive, right? Kelimutu is not really high, it’s only about
1.639 mdpl, but the speciality of this mountain relies on its lake that has
three different attractive colours in which it becomes so popular because it’s
used as the chosen picture on rupiah, denomination in 5000. The three different colours of the lake
becomes the tourism appeal for both local and foreign tourists. It’s located in
Flores Island, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Ende regency.
Puncak Jaya (Cartenz Pyramid)

Snow exists in equator, is it possible? Let’s
think it well; our region has the tropical climate which means having no winter
season. But amazingly, it really occurs. Moreover it’s an eternal snow, in
other words it’ll be not melted (in case world climate in normal scale, and global
warming doesn’t get any worse), and that kind
of snow can be only found at the peak of Puncak Jaya a.k.a Cartenz
Pyramid in Papua. This mountain belongs to 7 world’s highest summit, even
considered as the highest mountain in Oceania. Its highest summit reaches 4.884
mdpl. Treading to the peak of this mountain is one of the expensive climbing
ever because it requires so many equipments in which every kinda tool needed by
the mountaineers costs so much money.
