Itinerary description
The trail is easy-moderate and can be done in around 1.5-2 hours even with those of below-average fitness. Heading inside Kawah Ijen is tougher as there is the path is steep, there are loose rocks and the sulphur can make breathing difficult. It’s about 4 km from the trailhead to the bottom of the crater. Since there is sulphur gas making its way out of the crater, the air can be dangerous to breathe in. That is why it is extremely necessary to have a gas mask with you. Make sure you have a good headlamp, gasmask, and proper hiking shoes.
