Mount Sumbing is often nicknamed one of the "Siamese twins" in Central Java because of its position directly opposite Mount Sindoro. Standing firmly in the Temanggung, Wonosobo and Magelang areas, Sumbing offers an intense and challenging climbing experience.
Hello Traveler friends at ZOYALINK! With a height of 3,371 meters above sea level, Mount Sumbing is the third highest mountain on the island of Java. This mountain peak is very popular with climbers who like routes with steep inclines and varied terrain.
The main attraction of Mount Sumbing is the view of its peak which has a large crater and giant rock cliff cracks. From the peak area, you can see very clearly the perfect conical shape of Mount Sindoro which stands proudly just across the valley.
Several well-known climbing routes such as Garung, Bowongso, or Mangli present different track characteristics. Along the initial route, climbers will be treated to a landscape of neat agricultural fields before finally entering a dense tropical forest area.
One of the best moments in Sumbing is when you reach the vegetation limit towards the peak. At this point, your eyes wide open showing a row of neighboring mountains that seem to float on an ocean of white clouds.
Because the route is known to be steep and has minimal shelter in the upper area, climbing Sumbing requires extra stamina and a well-trained physique. The rocky track and climbs without bonuses often test every climber's endurance.
For those who successfully complete the journey to the highest point, the tiredness will immediately be paid off by the majestic crater and natural landscape of the mountains of Central Java. Chipping is proof of hard work and consistency throughout the steps.
