Hiking in Indonesia: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Hiking in Indonesia is an adventure in color. With its varied terrains and landscapes, it offers a wide variety of options for all palates. Whether it’s the three colored lakes of Mount Kalimutu that catch your eye, the blue colored lava of the Kawah Ijen, or the giant orange and red rafflesia flowers in the Indonesian rainforests, you will be constantly in awe of the landscapes, the flora and the fauna that you encounter on your hiking adventure in Indonesia.

Waterfalls in East Java

East Java is famous for its truly awe-inspiring gigantic Tumpak Sewu waterfall that has a volcano as a backdrop. Hiking there takes four hours, and if you do it early enough, you might just catch the sunrise.

Amazing volcanos and mountains

Indonesia is home to one of the Puncak Jaya (a.k.a Carstensz Pyramid), which is one of the world's seven summits, a difficult mountain to climb. Additionally, it is also home to several stunning volcanos including the stunning Mount Rinjani, Ijen Plateau, Gunung Agung, and Mount Kalimutu, which are unique spots for hiking in Indonesia.

Beautiful small islands

Indonesia boasts some of the most paradisiacal beaches in the world and many are located on the many tiny islands (more than 17,500!) that you can take a boat to and explore during the day. Some recommended spots include the Wakatobi Islands, the Mentawai Islands, and Seram island, among many others.

During the Indonesian winter months (June to September), average daily temperatures in the highlands are about 23 °C. Critically, rain is less frequent than during the monsoon season /December to March), but still common.
