Butuh kerja keras untuk mencapai puncak, harus melewati lembah serta anak tangga yang curam, sebaiknya hati2 karena licin banyak pasir. Bakso yg dikaki gunung lumayan enak harganya juga.murah

Wouldn’t necessarily recommend this place. It’s cool to see the wonder of the earth. But it’s quite dangerous and there’s no safety for people to stand - you can just fall into this volcano. Also it’s just full of horses that are way too skinny to carry people :( very sad.
