Chasing the Sunrise at Mount Ijen

An unforgettable experience catching the sunrise at the top of Mount Ijen!

The colors of the sunrise painted the sky in shades of orange and pink, casting a golden glow over the surroundings.

Ethereal Nights at Ijen Crater

Visiting Ijen Crater last October was an otherworldly experience. The crater’s famous blue flames danced eerily in the night, a surreal sight that required a protective mask due to the intense sulfur fumes. Amidst this volcanic marvel, the landscape was dotted with strangely shaped trees, adding to the mystique of the place. The acidic pool, with its stunning emerald hue, contrasted sharply with the surrounding barrenness. It’s a challenging journey, but the unique natural phenomena make it an unforgettable adventure. Truly, Ijen Crater is a testament to Earth’s potent beauty. #Indonesia #ijen

#ijen #indonesia was a truly amazing experience if you are looking for some adventure and some unforgettable memories! Hiking a volcano to see glowing blue lights is truly a once in a lifetime experience! #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer

#bromo #ijen the unforgettable trip with my favourite travel mates who are all not available now 😅😢 #wintergetaway

Here is Kawah #ijen, where you can see Blue flame near by a one kilometers wide turquoise colored lake. This trip start at 1 am as you need to climb up to the 2,799 meters height before #sunrise. If you cannot go up there on time you will not see the blue flame. For me, it’s quite hard to walk up to the mountain because of its slope (also, I’m not really work out person). But don’t worry, there is a service taxi (as in my picture no. 3) all the way up and down if you prefer more comfortable way than walking. However, I have to warn you that it’s not just going up, you have to going down in the carter (no taxi available) around 700 meters under rocks road. Believe me, it’s worth. #merrychristmas
