バリサン山脈の天然記念物・トップ15

There is a beautiful path leading up to the volcano, and the view is simply magnificent!

Walk around the lower route. More natural. Top route touristy but even better views

‘Bukit Kaba’ is an active volcano in Bengkulu Province. The highest point on the volcano is southwest of the crater rim around the 'Kawah Hidup' at an altitude of 1,945 m. ‘Bukit Kaba’ has a complex of about five craters. The two most spectacular are known locally as 'Kawah Hidup' (living crater) with bubbling fumaroles (volcanic steam vents) and 'Kawah Mati' (dead crater) with a vent approximately 200 m deep and a turquoise lake at its bottom. The two craters are separated by a mountain ridge. The last volcanic eruption was in 2000. https://www.gunungbagging.com/kaba/

The small rocky island of Pulau Bukik Tajun is located near Pulau Cubadak. The islands are connected to each other by a coral reef. At low tide, the surface of the coral reef is exposed and is not flooded by water.

It’s not easy to find information for the climb apart from an outing on Camp2camp from 2008…

The "Rhino Camp" at the edge of the Barisan Selatan national park forest is a great place to see the Rafflesia, the largest flower of the world. You can stay in the camp for a fee (weekend stays cost more than stays during working days) and all meals, which are prepared in the small kitchen, and coffee/tea/water are included. You can pitch a tent or just sleep in the open "living room" of the hut. The climate is way cooler than down in the valleys!

Lots of hustle and bustle during the day. Almost empty at sunset. Don't forget your flashlight/headlamp!
