Gunung Kelud merupakan salah satu destinasi wisata alam yang terkenal di Kediri dan memiliki pemandangan yang sangat indah. Namun, masih terdapat beberapa hal yang dapat ditingkatkan dalam pelayanan kepada pengunjung. Beberapa fasilitas dan area wisata perlu lebih diperhatikan dari segi kebersihan dan perawatan. Informasi mengenai lokasi, fasilitas, dan aturan wisata juga sebaiknya dibuat lebih jelas agar pengunjung merasa lebih nyaman dan mudah mendapatkan informasi.

You have to use a motorbike taxi, it's very expensive. Just turn around, there are many other tourist attractions.

Mount Kelud can be visited even by non-climbers, as the road access is good enough for vehicles. It's similar to Mount Bromo, where you don't need advanced climbing experience to climb, as this is a great family-friendly destination. After erupting, Mount Kelud left a crater with a small, tiny volcano... cute... adorable... But the eruption wasn't that cute...
