Gunung Masurai, Stratovolcano summit in Jambi Province, Indonesia

The Gunung Masurai volcanic complex rises to 2,916 meters above sea level, featuring two crater lakes named Kumbang and Merbuk near its summit cone.

The first expedition to Gunung Masurai took place in 1988 by Japanese researchers, followed by local teams reaching the main peak in 1994.

The mountain serves as a natural boundary between three districts of Merangin Regency: Lembah Masurai, Jangkat, and Sungai Tenang.

Climbers start their ascent from Sungai Lalang at 1,365 meters, requiring a six-hour trek through coffee plantations to reach the first peak.

Two species of tropical carnivorous pitcher plants, Nepenthes spathulata and Nepenthes singalana, grow together on the mountain slopes.
