“Kawa Ijen”, climbing a volcano at night

“Kawa Ijen” Smelling sulfur, Climbing the volcano at night To see the blue flames and the blue lake After going to Mount Bromo and walking back from the waterfall in the rain, we continued to another volcano that we couldn’t miss, “Kawa Ijen Volcano”. We spent another 4 hours traveling to our accommodation. We arrived at the accommodation at around 5 pm. But the guide said, “See you at 11:30 pm.” OMG, we barely had a break. From there, we went to here. This trip was really tough. When the guide picked us up, we traveled for another 1-2 hours and arrived at the starting point to walk up the volcano. The weather was quite cold. We walked up the mountain at 1 am. We walked on a normal slope. We didn’t climb anything. We walked for about 3 hours to reach the crater before we went down to the valley below. The first equipment we need is a gas mask because we will smell sulfur the whole way. The lower we walk, the stronger the smell becomes until it makes it difficult to breathe. And if there is wind, the sulfur dust will increase, making breathing difficult. Walking down the crater at night is not easy. It's all rocks, narrow paths, rock slides, and it gets harder when people walk up. Everyone should be very careful when walking in this kind of place because if you make a mistake, it can cause a minor to serious accident. And when we got to the bottom, we got to see the burning of sulfur, burning at a very high temperature until it became a blue flame. . The smell of sulfur floating around the crater of the volcano indicates that in addition to the blue flames that tourists come to experience, this place is also like a sulfur ore that produces hundreds of kilograms of sulfur every day. That is the origin of one of the riskiest and most dangerous occupations for health, which is the porter occupation. No matter how dangerous it is, porters have to dig up sulfur and carry 80-90 kilograms of sulfur to sell at a price that many people may think is not worth the risk. I want everyone to go "Prove your fitness, conquer Kawah Ijen in Indonesia" so that you will know that we are not very good, but our bodies and minds are very strong. Try going on an adventure, gain experience, and test the hardships. We think that "you will like this kind of travel. Just like we are fascinated and in love with this kind of endless adventure.” #journeywithgirlstravelwithghosts #indonesia #surabaya #kawahijenvolcano #airasia #indonesia #surabaya #kawahijen #naturetherapy
