Mount Sumbing Sunrise Trek via Nepal Van Java
Step into the heart of Central Java and experience one of Indonesia’s most breathtaking sunrise adventures.
The Mount Sumbing Trek via Nepal Van Java combines stunning mountain scenery, authentic village life, and the thrill of reaching one of Java’s highest volcanic peaks.
