Melanting Waterfalls
Didn't think we would get the chance to be alone chasing waterfalls in Munduk, northern Bali considering how busy everything else is here. I guess thanks to a heavy rainstorm, everyone was scared off and these beautiful falls were left to just us.

All in a day's work on Mt. Rinjani
It was incredible to see our porters work during our two day hike of Mt. Rinjani. While we huffed and puffed up the steep mountain the porters like this guy ascended with barely a sweat and more crazy, in flip flops!

Sunset over the Mount RInjani crater
From camp we had the most jaw dropping view of the crater lake at the centre of Mount Rinjani. Considering the mountains popularity, it seemed like a miracle that we were able to have our camp site and this specific view all to ourselves.

Looking into the depths of Mount Bromo
One of the most humbling experiences I've had travelling was being able to see volcanos up close and personal. Watching them spew ash and lava, hearing the air crackle, smelling the sulfur in the air and staring into a volcanic crater really make you appreciate how small you are in the face of mother nature.
Mount Bromo in Eastern Java is a small but incredible active volcano that's easily accessible and a huge highlight visiting Indonesia. Either staring in awe from afar or climbing its side to peer into its crater to watch the smoke rise from the Earth, both offer jaw dropping views. It's power has attracted people for ages and still remains Hindu religious site to today.

Mt. Ijen at Sunrise Version 2
Otherworldly landscape around the Indonesian volcano of Mt. Ijen.
It was quite the trek to wake up in the very early hours of the night in Banyuwagi, drive to the base of the mountain and then climb up for what seemed like forever, all in the dark.
Eventually after we reached a plateau we had to immediately descend into the volcanic crater on extremely busy, often unstable paths to make it to the bottom before sunrise. It was wholly chaotic as swarms of other tourists made their way down the path and miners toiling for sulfur made their way up constantly butting heads.
At the bottom as the Sun broke through the night sky, billows of smoke poured from open vents in the Earth's crust. The sulfuric fumes would rise and envelope you completely. Even with gas masks our eyes burned and for a few brief seconds you felt like you were going to be completely consumed and suffocated by the dark, thick, poisonous gas.
To see the Earth this raw and up close is a humbling experience and completely justifies the 'hassle' of getting there. A great experience all round even with his rabid popularity. I've been to many active volcanos, an active volcanic pool at Erta Ale, Ethiopia, a volcanic eruption at volcan Fuego In Guatemala, an erupting volcano surrounded by ocean at Stromboli, Italy but this was unique in an of itself and stands on its own. 🌋 🌋 🌋2018AsiaIndonesiaJavaLandscapeMountainsMt.
