This place may look like a nightmare of your badest dreams but is so amazingly beautiful, surprising and adventurous. People visit here for 2 reasons a) To reach summit and stay there to watch beautiful turquoise lake and if lucky some views of blue fire b) To reach summit and then go down the crater to have chance of lifetime to see blue fire and sulphur miners doing manual mining We gathered all our courage to go down the crater as well. Now this trekking starts late night as blue fire is not visible once sun comes out so we need to go down crater before sunlight comes out. Going up the summit of Ijen requires decent stamina but not very challenging. Challenging part starts when you to move down the crater in almost zero light and only torch or mobile light visible. Its one of the most adventurous hiking done by me. During going down, you will encounter sulphur miners who manually gather sulphur and hangit on there shoulder to the top (almost 70 kg in one round) and they do it 2-3 times in a day, it so damn amazing as we only in one round were totally out. Reaching bottom is like reaching surface of moon, completely different environment with deadly gases around (masks are suggested to be safe from carbon di oxide), unique surrounding with sulphur coming out of mountains and then you see the most amazing thing - BLUE FIRE, its so beautiful For hikers/nature lovers - its a must visit. Its ones in a lifetime experience Special thanks to our tour guide who ensured we experience everything and safely too.

Instagramable scenic old lime-stone mining. Recommending for pre-wedding photograph session. Best time to take picture here is around 3pm while the sunlight shining over the clive of redish lime stones. The picture taken are uncredible owesome. Don’t forget to explore the caves.
