The website is almost finished,
but I don’t want to wait any
longer to publish the site.
Some minor issues have to be
taken care of, and I’m sure you
all will bear with me during the coming days
while I’m finalising the task.

Sharing our hiking passion with you...
Rinjani on Lombok island is
said to be one of the most
beautiful mountains in
Southeast Asia.
It stands 3,726 m above sea
level and can be viewed
from throughout Lombok. A
huge ancient crater that
became Segara Anakan Lake
is known for its blue and
green-coloured water with a
new volcano, Gunung Baru,
emerging from the centre of
the lake, which often erupts
lava and volcanic ash.
With its 4,095 m altitude
Mount Kinabalu is the
highest mountain of
Malaysia.
For this hike we opted to
follow the Mesilau trail
whose starting point is
slightly higher in elevation
than the Timpohon Gate,
but crosses a ridge, adding
about two kilometres to the
ascent and making the total
elevation gain slightly
higher. The two trails meet
about two kilometres before
Laban Rata.
Mt. Kerinci is the second highest
mountain (3,805 m) in Indonesia
after Carstenz Pyramid in Papua.
It is the highest volcano in
Indonesia and the second highest
volcano in Southeast Asia.
Situated in Sumatra, home of
Sumatran rhinos, tigers and
elephants. Reaching the summit
entails 7 hours trekking through
tropical rainforest and 3 hours on
gravel and sand.
