ascent Ranu Pane - Ranu Kumbolo, 4 November 2012
Because it is very effective even legs, thighs, buttocks and hips still 'bruise' (ached) all ... hahaha ...
The story this time I talk Albret and temen2 of Kalimas for trekking to Ranu Kumbolo, we make a pact to meet in Malaga Saturday night, a moment in the coffee pack Beard Kawi road while waiting for the other temen2 departing on a motorcycle.
So Ranu Pane, Ranu Kumbolo is a lake on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro ...
Googling it if you want to know the story of the story of this lake ... lake
Ranu Pane also be the name of the last village where vehicles can go, quite a lot of locals so we could enjoy the beds, WC, coffee etc.
Ranu Pane at an altitude of about 2,200m, an Ranu Kumbolo at 2.400m and Mount Semeru (Pilar) at 3.676m.
To go to Ranu Pane, there are several paths, but the public is that of Surabaya: Surabaya to Malang, then to Overlapping and directly to Ranu Pane.
Overlapping Malang to about 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. Ranu Pane to the surrogate who can eat 1.5 - 2 hours depending on the vehicle and sikon. If the download of Ranu Pane to Tumpang really could just 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the skill of driving :).
Ok, a note about how to Ranu Pane of Malaga. This assumption disposable personal vehicle yes ...
I wear Xenia 2010, 1000cc, there is again a rise Albert Toyota Kijang diesel, CC did not check it, and then around 15And motorcycle with a variety of brands and type (check below FOTO2 later).
From Malaga take the road towards Overlapping (east), through fern, Airbase Abdul Rahman Saleh.
Overlapping reached, about 30-45 minutes depending on traffic.
Well up in Tumpang, find directions to Ngadas.
There are several alternatives (use google or trackpacking.com , note: The proposed map is the default of late Dampit and Senduro not been followed, but try to check Overlapping strips Ngadas).
The easiest way is like this:
Get Overlapping, street terusss do, until you are stuck up at the T-junction, turn left into the path of Paul. It's all a big way, so it's easy to find. Prior to this fork General Hospital Kebon Sari, cross once and then get stuck, turn left into Sincere Beautiful.
In this way I kept it straight up, you are a little confused at the intersection of Highway Belung, turn right a little bit, immediately turn left and then to the East.
If you are lost, use GPS, use Navitel, existing guidance on how to Ranu Pane Ngadas through this. The road is smooth, wide, straight ... there is not an unfamiliar turn to the last village before Ngadas (do not know the name of the village).
This road is between Poncokusumo village in the south and Duwek / Mimosa in its North, so the road between the two villages is a straight to Ngadas.
The road luruss berbelok2 not very good, just continue to climb around 10-15derajat.
Wear a tandem bike was not a problem if you just get to the last village before this Ngadas.
Feels very up this village still modern life, many stalls, salons, workshops, usaha2 macem2 here, still felt 'Java' deh. Once the house is quite rare, the road began to turn into cement, started to go into the forest, the more extreme the new road, and this is why many blogs proposed charter 4wheel drive vehicle. But to reach Ranu Pane, no absolute need to use 4wheel drive can, we already see for yourself why:
- Xenia, 1000cc, 4 passengers: CAN! (of which Toyota Kijang larger cc plus 5 passengers + merchandise can certainly also).
- Scorpio, Binter, Vario, Jupiter, Beat, lift 2: CAN!
- Yamaha Mio, Honda Astrea (i do not know what year) lift 2: GAK! several passengers had to get off: they CAN!
That condition, use a sedan? mmhh ... deh mending baseball because the road semi semi offroad, many broken here and there, can be lodged later when he found a large hole.
Oh yes this all the records we do not have rain, yes, if raining I strongly recommend wearing 4wheel drive, do not use the vehicle macem2 because some roads with asphalt / cement damaged, it could be dust gently so (so if you hit the water must be mud deh) ,
From the last village before Ngadas, ranging rarely home residents, into the forest, and so ...
The road turned into road cement 'is printed first' hehehe ... hard speak, do ya see what it looks like:
 |
| Road 'Semen mold' towards Ngadas and Ranu Pane. |
Pictured above is the good road conditions. Quite nice, cold air, on the right bank of the gap in left hahahaha ... I was happy, too, especially the cool air, do not need to use air conditioning was cold.
After Ngadas way more extreme, more broken, more narrow streets several times through the right and left gaps Well ... it's really fun, you can feel more sensation ngerasain car on the wall of chinese Well ...
Come on ... time DNA to explore your adventure!
As in the junction 4, there is a small shop, there could be a short break, this intersection is the intersection to Bromo and Semeru.
Bromo and Semeru at the same entry in the national park Bromo - Tengger and Semeru.
Bromo and Semeru So this is quite 'near' hahaha ...
crossroads is, if you take the road to the left leads to Caldera could Bromo gn I guess if you can cross the Caldera then you can also cross over to Ngadisari etc ... (the normal pathway to Bromo).
If your right to be in the direction of Ranu Pane, after the course of just one relative, not confusing.
But heavy enough for some pretty killer ramps, 180 degree tilt 20-25derajat, macadam road conditions and dusty, so it should be utterly professional driving it.
Because stopped on a hill, had reached out canvas clutch flammable fumes and smells stinky kecium.
Had all because of poor preparation (no motor stops in front), passenger cars must be removed first so that I can go ...
But overall, if not rain, Xenia 1000cc still able to ride it until late Ngadas Ranu Pane.

 |
| The atmosphere at Ranu Pane Climbing Center, left the office, next to the rooms to stay, and next to it a little longer on top is 'enduring effort' it ha ... |
(see the top right corner of the photo above, it is a grave ...).
Ranu Pane available in bathrooms, public toilets, rooms, food, etc, just sip it, do not worry. Residents are also quite a lot, and judging from his house just 'be'. The village is quite rich, especially with the number of visitors to Semeru, there must be additional income for the villagers.
 |
| building public toilets, rooms, offices etc ... |
 |
| Generators and electrical switch :). |
Other mobile phone to still be here, most baseball Telkomsel and their descendants can still send and receive text messages as well. Although the signal sometimes 1, sometimes 0 (0 more often it), but a little shake shake it sometimes still get 3 strips.
 |
| The general rule if you want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. |
So since we got an Ranu Pane 5:30, 30-45 minutes bersiap2, changing costumes, food and drink before going up the mountain. Recently we got an 6:30 Shocking news: The ascent to Kilimanjaro closed! Jreenggg ....
Eng ing eng ... why ... I cape2 up to Ranu Pane cook can not climb ??
Ibu2 said that serving in the mess Ranu Pane, the officer stayed one person, still sleeping, just an hour 7-8 there.
whether right or wrongly, but cooking a forest officer woke up at 7? rada2 really strange.
Hiking trail is closed, according to an announcement that because there are 2 missing hikers,
 |
| The announcement that the climb was closed ... |
Indeed, I had read in the newspaper Jawa Pos yesterday (3 Nov 2012), that a missing person (Firas), has been found. Even managed to get into one of the national TV as well, whether TV One, whether Metro TV, forget me. So in my mind, I found the khan, why is it still closed as well.
Later I got the news from one of the porter if officials are involved
training rangers to Bali, because there is not in place, all visitors
are forbidden to ride, afraid that if there is a problem, not a team
that can quickly respond ... so does that mean .. ..
Finally we decided to stow away, one by one walked to climb Kilimanjaro
... because each one of these, plus some people are still embarrassed,
finally at 7:15 an 7:30 we get together and start a new way to Ranu
Kumbolo.
Here are some photos at Ranu Pane ...
 |
| Vandalism board ... for the hard curb streak strike .... |
 |
| The lake and the village of Ranu Pane .... calm and harmony ... in the cold and desolate valley ... ... This building at the bottom right of the photo to make it ugly neh ... should be able to look more natural and charming ... |
Since the start of the climb, there are already paving the escort you to Pos 1. So if you get lost, it's crazy really, I might accidentally stray unless they remove themselves (Gaius times?).
The distance from the start point to the Post 1 of about 1 hour ascent. approximately 3.5km. Start point total of Ranu Ranu Pane to Kumbolo about 10-11 km away, 200-300m height difference.
For climbers who have regular meals a day like any day, leaving home early afternoon kayak went to the mall to do ... but for the sudden climbers like me, this is WOW, I really had to say 'cool' like that ?? emberrr ... cool but destroyed foot cave ...
 |
| Paving the path beginning the climb ... |
 |
| There are really intent to return to nature ... not use shoes, just wear a T-shirt but bring HP ....?!>!? !! ?? |
Yes apparently brought culture neh HP can not last much too hahaha ... that brought HP, somehow ... maybe in the heart still can not get out of the habit of chatting,
If it were really sure the answer: for the photos! but his heart ... he could never live in Ranu Kumbolo update face book? khannnn did ... hahahahaha .... so loohhh social network .... hehehehe ...
45 minutes you arrive at a location whose name Landengan Dowo (2300m), 3km from Ranu Pane.
That is close to the post 1. The first stop for a break ...
Up in Post 1, power is still strong, the legs are still strong, so ngelihat the Albert save energy, sleep, I also slept well, had 30 minutes waiting for a friend to another friend here.
 |
| The road in the woods ... if not there people in this photo, I'm sure you will not know if there's a path ... hehehehe ... photo taken from the side of a mountain in front, so call me I 'crossing' to the mountain new side could take this picture ... |
Distance from Pos 1 to Pos next (post 2 is ... not post 1a, 1b, etc ...) just 15 minutes. So ... actually pretty close to
the middle of the middle of the Post 1 and Post 2 is a view of the rock like the photo below.
Later on, I know that his name is 'The stone Rejeng' (2350m).
Along the way the Queen ascent D'Vita remembrance, 'not much coke ...', 'Nothing in turn sell someones front', or 'wait until the post 1', 'not long before I post 2, continue to post 3, nah between 2 to post to brightly Ranu Kumbolo was not the way ... have a nice view ...
it turns out .... GUNDULMUUU ... hahahaha ... I fooled ... but it looks like all climbers must suffered fraud since climbing requires motivation 'is near', 'let's stay one more turn', 'it did already visible mountain' ... hahaha ... really need self-hypnosis ...
From the beginning and Albert had to say, 'at least 2 h e m nyampai '(instead of 2 h a m but 2 h e m, so from the beginning he already use the author's own units of time ...) that slow the 3 h e m an has to ....
had the same packing is completely the other Merry: 'mas Rizal, it seems that first time we've worked 5 hours to Ranu Kumbolo'.
I really thought I was startnya different times, or the way different, or his time slightly different or maybe you quite calmly times ...
turns out it actually Merry said, and the man-made Albert size itself (or the author's own unit :)) for the state mileage hahaha ...
and the other climbers had met on the trip, he says: 'If I still had to go up to Ranu Kumbolo and back to Ranu Pane in the same day, do not want ah ....'.
They speak the truth ... but Albert and the Quen D'Vita is doing the right thing ...
Well ....... looo
 |
| Rejeng stones, photo taken from the road between Post 1 and Post 2. Photo slopes away and it actually looks small, I already do not imagine we might ride to get there is ... this photo was taken with a zoom lens 28-75mm at the point after. .. |
When I took this photo, look no point in blue, please zoom in on the picture above if you want to see more clearly. It seems like the roof of the building.
In my heart why, it's definitely heading toward a stop at the site after Ranu Kumbolo Semeru ... definitely, it looks much ... we just to Ranu khan Kumbolo only ...
In fact ... it is a blue dot Posts 3 !! still 3/4 of the way to Ranu Kombolo boookkkk ....
gedubrak ... (gedubraknya nanti2 up in the Post 3 and realize that the way home later jauhhh benerrr ...)
Yak yak continued ... not how long until the Pos 2 .
Paving the re very neat and orderly stopped approximately in the middle of the post 1 and post 2, so from here to Ranu Kumbolo already not there anymore ... all soil Paving and paths.
 |
| This post 2 at the break .... I've recently started to miss neh ... in an entourage 2-3 .. :). |
 |
| Plaque Post 2. |
Rest a minute, I was asked Albert: 'Eh, post 3 much gak ??'
And Albert answered: 'Ah no, the moment also to ...' (do not want to say how long ...).
I ask again: 'If you compare the distance between the Post 1 and Post 2?' (while hoping that such post 3 also near post 1 post 2).
And Albert answered: 'Yes, about whether it ....' (make the flame more neh ...).
Directly in front of me the way I am, not use break in Pos 2, Pos 3 with confidence in front of just 15 minutes, I go first ... This is so that I can sleep in Postal 3 while waiting for the other temen2 trust so ...
Awaited 15 minute, eh why there are no signs of post 3 yes?
Temen2 others already on the poor because basically my way slowly, breath pant ngosan due to entanglement of fat in the waist ...
Slowly I eventually plan to move from group 1 to group 2 from group 2 to group 3 (I mean a lot of overlapping. ..).
After 30 minutes of post 2 found a plaque stone Rejeng.
 |
| One of the 'copy' to cross the mountain ... |
 |
| Benchmark indicators of distance, 2 km from Ranu Pane ... |
 |
| Rejeng stone ... 6 km from Ranu Pane, 4.5 km from Ranu Kumbolo ... |
 |
| Perhaps this is why it's called ... Rejeng Stones on a steep rock cliff ... we feel so little man ... |
Rejeng stone is approximately in the middle between Pos Pos 2 and 3. So another 30minutes, arrived at Pos 3.
This is a building that is in the photo ... that's as far as I was walking ...
At this point that's on my mind: baldy ... I do not want them back ... diboongin afford, but if it continues not imagine how the return path entar yes ???
In Postal 3 is at 10:15. So about 2.5 hours I've been running. Semaleman not sleep, and started activities at 6 am, the body feels very tired already ...
I immediately fell down, his mattress, take glug glug glug drink bottles and tidurrr ...
Not how long a group working to develop and bring along the way .. . because I still feel tired, so I continue to sleep, asked them to go first.
Not brightly helped me hear the voice that comes ... apparently orang2 group 2 already trust, it turns out I've slept 20 minutes !!
But still feel sleepy because I think, ok lah 15 minutes ... Until the group 2 the way I still sleep well.
I felt I heard the voice of bercakap2 again, uh ... I woke up and had a 45 minute break in the reality of the post 3, bener2 not brightly!
I siap2, pack up, take some photos, and came third group (with stumbling seok ...) it looks different, her face still fresh group 1, group 3 have miserably after it ... hahaha ....
Gak was 1 hour Post break at 3, at 11:15, I finally went along with this group continue to Ranu 3 Kumbolo ... Nanggung because, going back too far ...
But I do not expect too much ... because diboongin might not mending trip and stay only if Ranu Kumbolo still far .... :(.
The toughest challenge is actually here ... after tired, physically after arriving at Pos 3, after the station 3 is 10-15 minutes we had to climb with a slope of 45 degrees . This is the toughest so some colleagues in the group of 4 decided to not continue to Ranu Ranu Pane Kumbolo.
When in fact what a pity ... and this is where the 'fraud' is actually helpful, eager to make ...
But there is a heavy one this point, after which it left turn in front of the mountain, b again looks lovely mountain, hill and turn again seem so ... hahaha ...
so does that mean though still quite far away, but the already not too uphill again, tend to be flat, the slope of 5-10 degrees is ... up and down.
 |
| Mist rising ... |
The scenery is nice, feels colder, often shrouded in fog ...
Turn-by-turn, got a salad, hoping the next corner I could see the lake hehehe ... this is the only motivation to continue to lift the foot ... in fact I want to give up, do not wait in Post 3 of the road should to Ranu Kumbolo and road all the way back to Ranu Pane ... alamakk ... hahaha ...
But ... yes I assure continued to invest in the brain ... maybe in the future I Ranu Kumbolo , yes ... if you do not look behind the mountain in front of it, if not more so ... behind lagiii ....
hahahaha .... Finally ... he ... looks danaunyaaaaa !!!! Alahmak ... let me look a little bit so it was great, great ... although I regret not touch the water though it was already happy Sotorn ... When I show at 11: 50 ... at 12an, until it Ranu Kumbolo. So a total time of 4.5 hours on the road ... rest is long, kira2 total of 2 hours rest time. So it is time the fast road 2 hours, 3 hours, it was 'slow' to the actual size of the mountaineers. But I and most of us did not even go in two categories hahaha .... This category turtle yes ...: D.
Ranu Kumbolo little by little starting to look ... why it feels like striptease saw ya? hihihihihi ... looks piecemeal hiehiehiehiehie ...
 |
| An attractive location for the photos ... unfortunately not a model ... hiehiehiehie ... |
 |
| Ranu Kumbolo, near the post 4 ... more clearly visible lakes ... |
Oh yes all the way, I remember his late grandfather, he was a lover of nature in his youth, and the story that I remember so many times when he was lost in Kumbolo and Ranu Ranu Pane.
Age was not a photo, so that there is the myth of memory on my grandfather ...
He told me that he lost from Ranu Kumbolo and finally to Ranu Pane and made to drink hot chocolate ...
Remember me his story once so enjoy hot chocolate :
"oaaa enakk once, so opa glek glek glek drink, warm ..."
Repeated 10 times the same story also seems to ha ... I sort of storytelling talent of his new neh hihihihi ... realize ...
What a memory .. . and along the way I remember him trying to remember, that I was walking on the road that he had lewatin :).
Love you grand grand ma and pa ...
All right then ...

Heading 4
Added January 21, 2014
Before you continue reading, please attention for a moment, about the middle of January 2014, there are a few comments from readers, who presented the protest because FOTO2 and writing about swimming / snorkeling / diving at Ranu Kumbolo.
Argument is given, because the water is used for drinking rakum Kilimanjaro climbers.
These discussions, both pitched extreme and try to tell with polite, can be found in the discussion FB nature lovers.
It seems that some fellow who wrote this article was annoyed because I was already spread among environmentalists, such information according to them.
So I feel the need to add a caption, if indeed these activities are prohibited (honestly and sincerely I say that I do not see any signs prohibiting entry to the water / swimming), please readers who eitherdo not replicate, or at itsconsider discussionsnature lovers who objecting to the entrance to the lake water.
I also sincerely apologize for offending you and also causes image 'can swim in Rakum'.
However, in consideration of this blog entry is a trip, then FOTO2 under my regular fit and I will not remove.
Because it is the case that happens, the chance of other climbers in the future may consider the opinion of a colleague who presented the protest (please read some criticism at the bottom of this article).
Friends who feel writing on this blog is not inspiring and exemplary, please do not disseminate this link from a debate that is far from my intention mensharing this article.
thank you ... please keep providing feedback and annotating travel for our mutual benefit.
My summary: water temperature at 1 pm around 21-23 degrees Celsius.
Visibility 1-2 meters and the lake bottom is brown so uncomfortable for diselamin hehehe ... just had to dive skin feel was a moment that was because the visibility was not good:) ....
I conclude that the diving here will be a lot of waste to energy mobilization of a diving equipment ...
 |
| Teletubbies hill (my own version hahahaha ...) |
Pause briefly, bath, photographs and sleeping, at 1:30 pm we already had returned siap2 Ranu Pane.
About 2 hours we have left Ranu Kumbolo heading 4 and heading 3.
Advice Albert: "if tired, do not continue to keep road, street, because males do not point the way" ....
It was not difficult because it is implemented ... already drained hihihihihi ....
Until half-way, as I walk slowly, Albert can bring my backpack that weighs just 12-15KG that's it ...
Now with backpack brought together 'sherpa' this one, I can not walk more quickly, soothing use the break at all until the post 3.
it turns out that the time spent around 45 minutes, take a break, spend 500ml of water, go to the post 2.
just a 15 minute stroll, and I was beginning to fatigue again, Albert's comments again, "Let this already half way to Postal 2 ".
Yes already too late if you want to use to motivate late consolation strike khan hahaha ... I know that half the road to Pos 2 it is Rejeng stone, so I'm told it 'Anyway ... I can not fool my brain, I just do not streets stop use .... '.
I had leg cramps several times, Postal 2 is passed to it so quickly, anyway Pos 2 and Pos 1 is near.
Total of Pos 3 to Pos 1 is not until 1 hour and rest a while 'waiting for the ice plus late' in post 1.
The story behind my most participants and Albert n D'Vita both accompany me, worried that what's up with me then what my camera that photo they lost. I was not worried whether I .... hahaha ....
Hours 4:30 climb up to the gate early, street shortly arrive at base camp Ranu Pane, about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, so the total time of just 3 hours home, but the rest just for a minute, 30 minutes.
So in fact the total running time between go and return the same kira2 approximately 2.5 hours.
The difference was break time !! If the rest of his time to go 2 hours total time to be 4.5 hours, now takes home a total time of just 45 minutes break up the total travel time is about 2 1/4 hours.
5 o'clock we already went back to Overlapping and Malaga through the same path with the departure.
This time while walking cenat ngerasain cenut hihihihi ... cool ... but it worked but how so tired ...
His legs seemed kerasssss huhuhuhuhuhu .... after mbecak ...
One nice thing with climbing is every breath we were it felt cold once ...
So while gasping for breath for hours and hours, not too tired for her fresh air that we breathe ...
it makes them long, strange as breathing cold air from the refrigerator for example hahahaha ...
Anyway if baseball is different and remember walking unplug them, I'm sure I'll think long when invited back to Ranu Kumbolo.
But first it tastes better preparation, fitness, jogging etc ... back to Ranu Kumbolo new hehehe ...
On our way through the narrow bridge, dikiri (western) sunset, and on the right (east) is the caldera of Mount Bromo .. .. It was nearly 6pm ....
 |
| Still had seen a sunset trip to Overlapping and Solo .... |
Wherever located ... keeping Diving: P ....
next report is from Pasir Putih, Nov 10th ... Till then, take care ...
