Gunung Sindoro

Mount Sindara , commonly called Sindoro , or also Sundoro ( altitude 3,150 meters above sea level ) is an active volcano mountain located in Central Java , Indonesia , with the nearby town of Waterford . Mount Sindara located side by side with a mountain cleft . Craters that can be found in the ravine along the northwest side of the mountain to the south , and the largest is called Kembang . A small lava dome occupies the summit of the volcano . History Sindara eruption that has occurred mostly mild to moderate type ( phreatic eruptions ) . Forests in the region of Mount Sundoro have Dipterokarp Hill forest type , forest Dipterokarp Top , Montane forest , and forest Ericaceous or mountain forest . Sindoro mountain ( 3150 masl ) is one of the favorite mountain climber who was in Central Java . Especially for those who are looking for a triple S ( Slamet , Sindoro , cleft ) . Strato -type cone shape look like twins with cleft adjacent mountain . To achieve this mountain is not too difficult because it is in the main line - Wonosobo Magelang . Generally the most crowded lines are crossed paths Kledung , Waterford . There are also other lines are pretty good that Sigedang path . This time I will share a trip to Mount Sindoro via Sigedang path . Understandably , seven times to climb this mountain I do not even via the Kledung . To reach the village from the direction Sigedang Wonosobo Dieng majors take the bus , get off at the junction Rejosari - direction to Tambi . Furthermore, can walk or ride motorcycles to Sigedang village , about 4 km . Once in Sigedang I recommend heading home to pack Amin , Sindoro caretaker . Here we take care of licensing and can also fill water supplies along the route to the summit because we did not encounter springs . From the village sigedang proceed past the tea plantations towards the tarmac road about 20 minutes . Then turn right down the cobbled streets past the tea plantations . This tea diperkebunan there are a lot of intersections . For climbers who have never climbed Mount Sindoro pass this point it is worth looking for a traveling companion who understands Sigedang path . Throughout the estate there are 2 POS with a semi-permanent building that can be used for the rest . 2 hours after passed through the tea plantations we will arrive at the limit of the forest plantations . Then we proceed to POS 3 . POS 3 at the center of the way up the peak . Here are the buildings that have collapsed , but enough to set up a dome tent 3 . If less physical support should be set up camp in this post . Because the next trip for 3-4 hours to the summit we will not find a shelter to set up a tent . Approximately 2 hours from here we will arrive at Watu Milk . Watu Milk is 2 large pieces of stone by local people regarded as Mount Sindoro breasts . According to the trust of local residents , Mount Sindoro is a mountain woman and her husband is the child Sumbing Mountain Flower . Milk Watu summit of the trip was about 1 to 1.5 hours. Through the streets and sometimes slippery rocks rockslide when we are standing . Climbers must be especially careful that runs in front so as not to endanger climbers in tow . After that we arrived at the summit of Mount Sindoro region . In the area of ​​the peak we will not be confused for setting up the tent because Mount Sindoro have a vast plain at its peak , approximately 400x300 meters . There are two craters in the eastern area of ​​200x150 meters , and on the west there is the plain and Wedi Segoro Banjaran plains and two others who have not named which is the remainder of the main crater . At the time of high rainfall , there are two craters much water we can use for drinking and cooking . Stagnant water is clean and can be used because there is no sulfur here , Sindoro Mountain is a mountain that is no longer active . When the weather is clear , from here will be obvious Mount Cleft , Merbabu , Slamet and Dieng Plateau region . And try before sunrise we already are at the top , because the sunrise from the summit of Mount Cleft very beautiful . Sindoro track mountaineering , mountain cleft , Lawu mountain , Mount Sindoro cleft , slamet mountain , mountain mystery Sindoro , video Sindoro mountain , the mountain status Sindoro
