Trek Description
The full day trek begins at Ranvetlam starting with an easy ascent following a main track through a coconut plantation, local gardens before entering the rain-forest following a single clean track, with gentle hills. Walking across the ash plane to reach the volcano is very easy but without shade before entering a wet narrow river bed with small rock pools surrounded by reeds. The steepest part of the trek on a very narrow path offers great panoramic views of the surrounding landscape! After marvelling on the rim at the lava lake below, retrace the route back to Ranvetlam. A slow process, scrambling carefully down the steep lava escarpments, carved out by heavy rain.
