Itinerary description
Mount Merbabu (the mountain of ashes) is less known than its neighbour Mount Merapi. However it has its own charms. Merbabu is surrounded by green spacious savannas and beautiful hills. Mount Merbabu has several false summits. The true summit is 3,145 meters above sea level at Kenteng Songo, where Merapi's smoky peak is only a stone's throw away. Kenteng Songo is also the best spot to feast your eyes on a stunning landscape where Sindoro's, Sumbing's and Lawu's peaks are above the clouds.

Hi, just an update that this is a route no longer being maintained (up to Pos 3 where it intersects with the new route), the trail is very difficult to navigate because of the vegetation that has grown covering the path entirely. Thus the trail is officially closed, it is not marked and the current one starts at the location labeled Merbabu BaseCamp (nearby).
