Mount Lamongan

Mount Lamongan is a stratovolcano in Probolinggo that rises to approximately 1,650 meters (5,410 feet). It sits between the Tengger caldera complex and the Iyang-Argapura volcano complex, with numerous lake-filled maars dotting its slopes.

The volcano experienced significant eruptions between 1799 and 1898, producing multiple lava flows across the region. Since then, it has remained in a dormant state that continues to the present.

Local residents near Mount Lamongan speak Javanese as their primary language and participate in reforestation projects led by the Green Army organization.

The trek begins from Klakah town and passes by Ranu Klakah lake before reaching Papringan village. Local guides are available there to help you navigate the complex trail system.

The area contains over 90 eruptive vents scattered across its surface, including numerous maars and cinder cones. This high concentration of volcanic features makes it a remarkable laboratory for understanding volcanic activity.
