Mount Raung is a volcanic mount which is famous for volcano trekking. Located in Java Island, Indonesia, one can get to witness an active volcano when hitting this trail. The dimensions of the caldera of Mount Raung ​​alone are 750 m x 2.250 m, or 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) in width, and there are active smokes all round within graying rim – though the rim color can vary depending on the volcanic activity.

The elevation of this volcano is 3,332 meters, which is 10,932 feet above sea level.  It is the tallest volcano in the cluster of volcanoes in its region. The valleys that lie between the volcanoes have fertile, ash-enriched soil that sustains agriculture, though the land available is fairly limited. Mt Raung has centers built along its NE to SW line, where Gunung Gadung and Gunung Suket stratovolcanoes are also present.

​Clearly meant for only the bold and bravest, get yourself ready for goosebumps when you attempt to conquer its peak and hearing it is roar.
​
Often said to be harder than Rinjani, this 3332 masl gunung provides a great challenge to those who craves it

Please note that this is a very advanced training session. Mt Raung is not touristy for a reason, it has a high degree of difficulty due to prolonged hike from one basecamp to another, loose and steep grounds requiring basic mountaineering skills. 

Round trip summit attack may take up to 15 hours (Camp VI -> summit-> Camp VI). This is on top of tackling a total of nine campsite three days before that ( ~5-8 hours hike daily).

Height phobia is strictly no no for this hike, if you are afraid of going down Rinjani/Agung or Semeru summit without a guide holding your hands, forget about this hike. SAFETY is of its most importance, listen and follow the guide instructions at all time.
