Semeru

Semeru
Semeru is a nice volcano and also one of the most favourite hiking place in Indonesia. Here you can see a beautiful mountain with beautiful view too. You can see several mountain here. Semeru weather is good too.

Semeru, or Mount Semeru (Indonesian: Gunung Semeru), is a volcano located in East Java, Indonesia. It is the highest mountain on the island of Java. The stratovolcano is also known as Mahameru, meaning 'The Great Mountain.[1] The name derived from Hindu-Buddhist mythical mountain of Meru or Sumeru, the abode of gods.

You also must be careful because it is still an active volcano. Watch out for its eruption. Several months ago this mountain spout some hot clouds.

Semeru is named from Sumeru, the central world-mountain in Buddhist cosmology and by extension Hinduism. As stated in legend, it was transplanted from India; the tale is recorded in the 15th-century East Javanese work Tantu Pagelaran. It was originally placed in the western part of the island, but that caused the island to tip, so it was moved eastward. On that journey, parts kept coming off the lower rim, forming the mountains Lawu, Wilis, Kelut, Kawi, Arjuno and Welirang. The damage thus caused to the foot of the mountain caused it to shake, and the top came off and created Penanggungan as well

Enjoy trip to Semeru, and also come to another place in this country, like Bali or Yogyakarta.
