You while remaining mysterious. Every now and then it shows you all its beauty, only to be covered by the veil of mist a minute later. It is provocative but reached. It makes you miserable and restless, like us ""Carstensz Pyramid, Puncak Jaya called by some people, and Puncak Jaya Jaya Kesuma Kesuma or only by others, located west of the central plateau called Jayawijaya Mountains and Sudirman. This is the highest mountain in Australia and Oceania. Technically this means that the Carstensz Pyramid is the highest mountain between America and the Himalayas.Illustration map of Glacier. Read the name Carstensz Pyramid - Puncak Jaya KesumaOfficially, he took the name of the inventor - John Carstensz, a Dutch sea-farer. In 1623 he brought the news to Europe about the rights of the mountain of snow at the equator, but no one believed him. He was the first European to see the Carstensz Pyramid with his own eyes.Indonesian communists called Puncak Jaya (victory peak), although the name is different from that considered to belong to the highest summit (Nga Pulu).

However, all this is a typo. The only name that really is the Carstensz Pyramid. Sometimes, a second name for the Carstensz Puncak Jaya is misspelled and follow the wrong form is used as a substitute: Peak or Peak Jaia Jaja. The most common is undoubtedly a typographical error Karstens and Carstens.

Despite so many sources still claim a peak is 5030 meters (16,503 feet). Australian air navigation map excerpt 16,503 feet (5030 meters). However, in 1994, the height of the world recognized publisher of maps and guides from Verlag noted in "Ost Indonesien" map altitude 5030 m.All of our equipment (both altimeter and GPS 's) show a lower height of 5000 meters (16,400 feet) at the top of Carstensz Pyramid.

Rinjani Mountain Climbing in Exotic

One of the volcanoes in Indonesia are famous all over the world are Rinjani. Every year, there were thousands of foreign and domestic tourists up the mountain altitude 3726 m asl (above sea level) is. Inevitably, Mount Rinjani became the target of wild adventure lovers.
Located in the northern land of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Mount Rinjani is the third highest volcano in Indonesia. Peak heights only defeated by the Jayawijaya Mountains in Papua and Mount Kerinci in Sumatra ground.
There are several hiking trail that is often used to climb Mount Rinjani. But for those adventurers who first visited Lombok, it is advisable to choose the path Sembalun Lawang. Heading the initial ascent on this route is relatively inexpensive and easy to reach by public transport.
From the seaport gates Sheets, en route to the bus terminal in the city of Mataram. In the terminal available vehicle department of Mataram-Aikmel elf. Approximately 1 hour drive, arrived in the region Aikmel. Here, the adventurous elf greeted vehicle heading directly towards the ascent Sembalun Lawang.
During the trip, we pass through tropical forests plus the attraction of wild monkeys on the edge of the road. Plantation cabbage, peppers and onions stretched. In addition, presented a green canyon scenery enchanting Sasak tribe which inhabited the traditional, tribal island of Lombok.
Arriving at the post Sembalun Lawang climbing, the climbers must register. Before departure, the official park rangers give a message to keep clean and respect the customs of the locals. Not forgetting also explained the location of the hidden springs.
For those in need, available services guide (the guide) or porter (personnel carrier), which is equipped with equipment rental and supplies standard mountaineering. Management of tourist services involving this Sasak tribe, different rates apply for foreign tourists and local tourists. 

Climbing terrain
The first challenge that must be taken is the broad plains and hilly. Characteristics of this nature provide a new experience for adventurers who climb mountains in regular Java. Usually the mountains in Java presents more homogeneous and heterogeneous forests.
Climate along the dusty badlands of the stinging makes stamina quickly depleted. Only in some places overgrown weeds spread rumut as delicious food for the oxen shepherd. In certain places there is a special post that can be used with a spring camping and emergency toilet.
After savannas, field trip was getting heavier. Steep hill with a yawning chasm between the hedges began attending heterogeneous forest. Mount Rinjani can be said to be safe from the threat of wild animals. Birds, monkeys and chickens hanging from the forest that is often encountered in the forest.
After traveling about 7 hours, arrived at pelawangan (mountain ridge) Sembalun Lawang. The location is overgrown with mountain pine (Casuarina junghuniana) This is the last climb before heading to the summit.
Pelawangan Sembalun Lawang is located right on the slopes of Lake Segara Anakan buffer. As a result, while resting, hikers can see exoticism as much a giant lake formed by volcanic eruption of Mount Rinjani.
Unfortunately the weather at this altitude is very easy to change. The attacks can come suddenly blurred replace cold weather heat. Quite often wind storms capable of ripping even fly tent. However, the charm of sunrise and sunset into an unforgettable moment of a lifetime.
Then there are two options: continue the adventure to the summit or directly down to Lake Segara Anakan. Field trip to the top heavy and quite dangerous. Deserts, craters, and that seemed bottomless abyss, will force berpacunya adrenaline during the 3-5 hour trip.
While the field trip to Lake Segara Anakan no less thrilling. The climber must be agile down the rocky slope with a slope ranging from 40-80 degrees. What is noteworthy is that the risk of life-threatening rock debris climbers. 

Lake Segara Anakan
For the Sasak tribe, Lake Segara Anakan is considered a sacred place that must be maintained her purity. Green and blue lakes that, used also as a place of pilgrimage and worship of Hindus, Muslims Wettu Barbadensis (Hindu-Muslim syncretism) as well as trust in God Almighty.
So do not be surprised, if the smell of incense or flower offerings found around the lake. In addition, the Sasak tribe have great respect for the funeral Dewi Anjani, which is believed to be the supreme ruler of Mount Rinjani this invisible realm.
Lake water that taste rough, due to a mixture of fresh water and sulfur water, believed as a potent medicine to cure various diseases. Believe it or not, in fact, this situation led to the growth of cultural wisdom to preserve the environment and avoid the exploitation of natural resources.
Apart from all that, the climbers will feel pampered nature. To relax tense muscles, we can soak in some hot water all day natural sulfur pool. Although the spectacle of dozens of wild monkeys used as a saber-toothed.
The most exciting, of course burn the fish in the lake. Carp, tilapia and large-sized Harper flourished in this lake. When less is definitely not an expert or fishing, we could buy fish from local anglers who frequently appeared in the holiday season.
Across the lake looks dune sand dunes are often white smoke into the sky. People call it a New Mountain. Not much information about the mountain of sand that is still active

In the village there Batukaras Batukaras Coast as a region renowned surf water (water surfing).
While the title Green Canyon appears, because usually in the dry season the water in the riverbed will look green. But others say the nickname comes from two European tourists from France and Switzerland, named Frank and Astrid.
At that time, in the 1990s, they came to do a river tour in Cijulang. They then down the river from the estuary at the Beach Batukaras. After the two travelers were successfully completed its mission, terkuaklah Cukang Taneuh secret that had been considered very eerie and scary.Then, from mouth to mouth, the beauty information Cukang Taneuh widespread. From there then Ciamis County Government decided to build the region into a new tourist object which is equipped with various facilities.

Rocks also are forcing us to not continue the journey by boat, because the river channel was blocked by him until the river was visible rise like stairs.
But, we do not have to worry about although it can not continue the journey by boat. Because, at this point, travelers are challenged to actually be able to see the real beauty of the Green Canyon. The choice: we must dare to swim upstream to get to the river.Swim option is usually highly avoided by domestic tourists. Indeed, foreign tourists are usually very keen to do so until the upstream.
