Detailed itinerary

1

Mount Papandayan is a volcano 2,665 meters in height.
Climbers trek along a stony path near the slope of an active sulfur crater known as the gate of Mount Papandayan in Garut, West Java.
The white sulfur gas discharged from the crater rose to the sky before changing course in the direction of the wind. Occasionally, the smelly sulfur gas blocked their path, but climbers kept walking to reach the next destination.
After passing the crater, trailing along a winding path and going up and down, climbers crossed a lane over a small river with very clear water originating from a mountain spring and fit for direct consumption, before following another path covered by Cantigi trees (Vaccinium Varingiaefolium).
