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.

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.

ARGAPURA THE MARINE CORPS TRAINING GROUND By Handjono I would say that Mount Argapura is the 2nd least known in Java after Mount Raung, at least amongst the volcano lovers. Standing 65 KM east of Mount Semeru, the 3088 M high volcano was not frequently climb due to its remote location. Amongst the 3000 M+ Java peaks, its [...]
