A beautiful route will guide you in just 2 hours through the savanna and the Sea of Sand to Mt. Pananjakan, although you will only see this on your way back as it is dark when you pass the first time. Around midnight you will be picked up at your hotel and drive to the viewpoint. Local snacks with hot coffee and tea are being served. From the enjoyable cafe, just walk about 100 meters to the well-known spot 'Mt. Pananjakan'.
After sunrise the black Sea of Sand is next. Have breakfast in picnic style, while enjoying brilliant views. Then, after parking near Luhur Poten temple, it is a 45 minutes walk to the crater rim. Once you reach the 'top', you can explore or rest and enjoy the view.
When you get back to your Jeep, the contrasting green savanna is next to visit. According to the story, the savanna used to be a large crater lake. It dried up and formed an array of various rocky and sandy textures. The savanna is now vast flat land with bushes and some hills.
