Arjuno-Welirang

Arjuno-Welirang consists of two connected volcanic peaks rising to 3,339 meters, with distinct mountain ridges and active sulfur vents throughout the range.

The volcanic formations developed over millions of years, with the complex sitting atop two older volcanoes, Mount Ringgit in the east and Mount Lincing in the south.

The mountain takes its name from Arjuna, a central character in the Mahabharata epic, reflecting the deep connection between Javanese mythology and natural landmarks.

Hikers can access the mountain through three main entry points: Lawang, Tretes, and Batu, with guided tours available from May through October.

The mountain slopes contain the source of the Brantas River, the second longest river in Java, and support four distinct forest zones with specific plant communities.
