THE BEAUTY OF MOUNT LAWU

Almost all Indonesian mountaineers know Mount Lawu. This inactive volcano is located right in the border between Central and East Java. Last week my sister and her friends took the challenge to conquer it. This mount is so tough with its 3.256 m height. Being exhausted is the true enemy. But all of these burdens would be cured by the beauty of the Lawu's scenery. It's such a lucky day when she met a group of Edelweisses; an eternal flower.

And what was their main goal of this mountaineering? Of course, reaching the top! Hargo Dumilah is the highest top. "It took less than a day to reach the top", she said. My sister and friends were surely excited because of the gorgeus view from above. She said Mount Lawu is now quite crowded. To my astonishment, not only did she find other mountaineers, but also some local residents who sold some meals.

Well, it's not always about the mount. Mount Lawu has several good sites to visit such as Sarangan Lake or Tawangmangu. So please, let your instinct leads you to this amazing place.
