The Sacred Volcano Merapi

Did the overnight climb up to the top of Mount Merapi. I say its definitely an experience. The guides are helpful, going at a pace that the group was comfortable with, even taking breaks when we had too. The view at the top was great - just remember it's actually COLD up there with all the wind, have jacket so you'll be able to enjoy the view without freezing. Not an easy climb either! I thought to myself many times about calling it quits, but its worth it when (if) you make it to the top. If not, its an adventure in itself. The mountain, being an important part of sacred javanese symbolism, emphasized by the eerie damage of the eruption, offers a mystical atmosphere yet breathtaking view. #happylaborday #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer #summervacationtravel
