Hard to Very hard climb but 100% worth it
Slight chance of hypothermia at the top sheila camping over night! make sure you pack warm clothes! hate gloves etc

Stunning sunrise!
Slightly overpriced in my opinion

you guys need to explore Mt Kerinci! super awesome!

The highest volcano of Indonesia standing tall at 3805m. The trail offers a very challenging trek. For those experienced climbers who have previously hiked volcanic terrain would find much easier on the summit day from Shelter 3 to summit. The most challenging part of the trek is from Shelter2 to Shelter3 scrambling through the ravines and your might end up grabbing roots to climb up during this stretch. Overall the summit offers a very nice view overlooking the villages surrounding the volcano

Standing firmly at 3.805 meters above the sea level, this is the highest volcano mountain in Indonesia and said to be more active then other volcanoes in the country. It takes days to reach the summit by conquering thick jungle and muddy plus slippery terrains.

So, as the scenery is so green and beautiful, and before having a chance to climb it, having some selfie pictures may be a good options for us.

Mount Kerinci, located in the heart of Sumatra, Indonesia, is a true gem for hiking enthusiasts. As someone who has climbed to the summit twice, I can confidently say that the experience is nothing short of breathtaking. The trail offers a challenging yet rewarding journey through lush forests, steep slopes, and rocky terrain, culminating in a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The fresh mountain air and serene atmosphere provide a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The trail to the summit of Mount Kerinci is well-maintained, with markers and signs along the way to ensure that hikers stay on track. While it is a challenging climb, it is definitely doable for those with a moderate level of fitness and experience. The terrain varies from dense jungle to volcanic rocks, making each step an adventure. The final push to the summit is particularly grueling, but the views from the top are worth every bit of effort. On a clear day, you can see for miles around, taking in the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

One of the things that I appreciate most about Mount Kerinci is the lack of crowds. While it is a popular hiking destination, the trail is not overcrowded like some other well-known peaks. This means that you can truly immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and enjoy a sense of solitude as you make your way up the mountain. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and the nearby village of Kersik Tuo offers a glimpse into the traditional way of life in Sumatra. All in all, Mount Kerinci is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an unforgettable hiking experience in Indonesia.

Known as Atap Sumatera, 3805 mdpl, we can see Gunung Tujuh view from the top of Kerinci. Its take 2 days to reach the top.

Indonesia Highest Active Volcano

A challenging trekking where we need to exert our hand strength to slightly climb from shelter 2 to shelter 3

A straightforward yet challenging hike up Indonesia's highest volcano at 3805m.
Safe for the most part. Little fall danger except at crater at top, hypothermia risk very low, eruptions infrequent.

Views are impressive on a clear morning, crater is stunning.

Wildlife and forests and enchanting.

However you will encounter significant quantities of rubbish and crowded campsites on some days.

Great Volcano! That's all I want to say..

Cool.

I had this as my first major climb and I would say, pretty worth it. Be prepared tho, winds blew so strong at the top.

Sunrise in a low shine
