Gunung GEDE in Java/Indonesia

Gunung GEDE volcano is popular with Jakarta residents, it's only one hour away from Bogor, which is 1h from Jakarta. It has all the thrill of a volcano: crater, hot springs, sulfur fumes. Plenty of accomodations are available around. Don't forget to bring a copy of your passport for the Pangrango National Park officials (mandatory). Take your wind and waterproof jacket as mount Gede, reaches a height of 2958m above sea level. Minimum 9h return. Better to sleep at the top in a tent.
