MOUNT RANTEMARIO (3478m) A MOUNTAIN OF WATERFALL AND ANOA By Handjono Sunday morning March 18, 2012 4:00 we arrived at Makassar. The flight was so bumpy we did not sleep on the plane. Ca. 5:00 from the grotesque airport we rode the rental minibus to the north direction of the Sulawesi Selatan peninsula. After the delicious breakfast at one of [...]

Slamet

MOUNT SLAMET THE LONELY GIANT by Handjono This is my 2nd trip to Mount Slamet and this time I planned my hike more carefully especially on timing. Mid December is wet as everyday it rains already. Movement is slower on the slippery trek and we need more clothes. Also I chose the different descent route for the sake [...]

MOUNT DEMPO (3159 m) THE FOREST SYMPHONY by Handjono After the epic hike, my relationship with Mount Dempo is love and hate. The summit serenity and beauty are the ones I love from Mount Dempo. Then the black monkeys symphony and the playful squirrel are the exciting experiences I do not get in Java. Actually I also love the difficult ascent for it [...]

Arjuno-Welirang

Arjuno – Welirang By Luki Tjahjadi Feb. 2011 It was never in my plan this year to hike to Arjuno (3,339 m) and Welirang (3,166 m). The plan was to climb Argopuro or Semeru with other CopiPanas hikers, initiated by Handjono, AKA ‘Beh Han’, — one of CopiPanas most experience member –, on Mid Dec 2010. Having to [...]

Semeru 2.0

SEMERU JOURNAL 3676 M Third Highest Volcano in Indonesia By Handjono Almost all my CopiPanas lads have gone to Mount Semeru and off course I did not want to stay silent when they talked about the mighty fiery peak of Java Island in our dinners. So on May 25, 2010, I took the night train from Jakarta to Malang for [...]

Agung

MOUNT AGUNG THE SACRED MOUNTAIN OF BALI 3142 M Twelfth Highest Volcano in Indonesia By Handjono Kuta was still busy with strollers when we left it at 21:00. The Suzuki APV was a little too small for the 6 of us and the driver. Klungkung was already silent by 22:15. It was quick through the new south-east coast highway. The [...]

ARJUNA 2.0

ludy — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 09:03:05 +0000

ARJUNA 3339 M Sixth Highest Volcano in Indonesia By Handjono Jakarta – Malang This was the 2nd time I hiked Mount Arjuna after a failure to reach the peak in January 2008. So, I was a little anxious in my trip to Arjuna. On the Gajayana train to Malang I tried to sleep as long as possible knowing the energy will be [...]

Krakatau

Two Days Trip To Krakatau By Ludy Andria March 13-14, 2010 This trip is actually not CopiPanas’ lead hiking event. However, I think my experience visiting Krakatau early this year is worth sharing. I was offered this journey by a fellow co-worker who arranged a two days – one night trip to Krakatau Island. There are 10 of us [...]

Ciremai

ludy — Mon, 10 May 2010 03:01:07 +0000

MOUNT CIREMAI By Handjono Every mountain is unique, that is what volcano lovers say. Mount Ciremai (3078m) is also different from the others, at least the way I anticipated our climbing. I heard stories about its eeriness, so tense I was somewhat groggy when encountered strange things in the villages. Leaving Jakarta on Friday August 14, 2009, the [...]
