Mount Slamet, also known as Gunung Slamet, is an active stratovolcano. It has a cluster of around three dozen cinder cones on the lower southeast- northeast flanks and a single cinder cone on the western flank. Four craters are found at the summit.  Gunung Slamaet was closed to climb from 2010 til 2011, but it re-opened in late 2011. Numbers of climbers are expecting to visit to peak on New Year's Even and celebrate new year!




Mount Sumbing, or Gunung Sumbing, is also an active Stratovolcano. It has created a small phreatic crater from the eruption in 1730. The hightest poing of Sumbing mountain is a steep rocky part of the crater rim further south-west. Most hikers are happy to consider the crater rim as their destination.




Mount Sundoro is also known as Mount Sindara and Mount Sindoro. Parasitic craters and cones are found in the northwest-southern flanks, and the largest one is called Kembang.



 


The pictures above describes Mount Telomoyo. The volcano was constructed over the southern flank of the eroded Pleistocene-age Soropati volcano, which has a heigh of 1,300 metres. The Soropati volcano collapsed during the Pleistocene, leaving a U-shaped depression. Mount Telomoto grows on the southern side of the depression, reaching over 600 metres above the depression's rim.

Please check the height of peaks before you decide to climb up below:
Mount Slamet: 3428 m

Mount Sundoro: 3151 m
Mount Telomoyo: 1894 m


 
 


When you are tired and busy with yourself working and studying, It is always the best choice to see the mountains and see greens. It will bring you the great understanding and time to understand yourself. Most importantly, it is the excellent workout!
