Baluran, Dormant stratovolcano in East Java, Indonesia.

Baluran is a dormant stratovolcano in East Java that rises 1,247 meters above sea level with a horseshoe-shaped caldera opening toward the Java Sea. The mountain forms the core of Baluran National Park, which offers hiking trails, overnight lodging, and multiple natural environments.

Baluran is a Holocene-age stratovolcano that has not erupted in historical times; sources record no eruption in 1959 or any other year. It lies at Java's far northeast, where the much larger Ijen volcano overshadows it. The mountain, 1,247 metres high, sits within Baluran National Park in Situbondo Regency.

Baluran gives its name to Baluran National Park, the protected area that surrounds the peak in Situbondo Regency. The mountain is the easternmost on Java, and the park takes its identity from it, with the summit and its Aleng, Kacip and Klosot peaks marking the reserve's high ground.

The area features multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty for visitors to explore, along with basic overnight accommodations within the national park. The best time to visit falls outside the rainy season when trails are most accessible.

The surroundings contain distinct ecological zones with savannahs, mangrove forests, and tropical woodlands, home to rare Javanese deer and wild cattle. This diversity makes the location an important refuge for endangered species of the region.
