📍Banyuwangi, Indonesia.
Nearest airport, Surabaya. Travel another 6 hours by car to Banyuwangi.
🌋 Mt Ijen Tour from Klook, $127.50
🥾 Hike Difficulty 4/5
It’s true! Kawah Ijen is the only crater which has a “blue fire”. There are only two places in the world that has this; Indonesia and Iceland. 😳🤯
🚶♀️ My experience:
Mt Ijen would be my third mountain I’ve summited this year yet I did not prepare myself better physically 🥴 The entire hike up and back down took 4.5 hours. I’m quite bummed that I did not managed to witness the blue fire as my driver was late + the jam, we started the hike at 3AM. In order to witness the blue fire, the ideal time to start the hike would be from 1-2AM! After hearing we would not be able to witness the blue fire, we hiked slower and paced ourself better in order to catch our breaths 😮💨
The hike was very steep as compared to Mt Batur and I wanted to give up plenty of times hehe. <33 Hiking down was not a walk in the park either as it applies more force through the knee joint. My toe hurts too! 🥹
⚠️ Tips:
1) Pack light! Bring essentials (below), cash and a portable charger.
2) Bring thick gloves, heat pack, beanie, head lamp, hiking sticks and enough water and snacks!
3) Wear thick layers 🙏🙏 I wore 2 layers and Uniqlo ultra light down parka and I was still shivering. My fingers turned blue too! 🥶 It gets really cold to 2.C! I would recommend wearing heat techs and proper winter sports jacket like from Decathlon.
I’ll definitely hike up again to witness the blue fire but with better stamina and extra layers 🤧
