THERE IS an assumption that it is a mountain-climbing act cool and dashing. There is a sense of pride when it's setting foot in height. However, we realize that we who claim to lovers, or lovers of nature, it could be is a destroyer of nature?
1. Perform mass climbing activities (non-conservative)
Maybe we already know about a brand outdoor gear that performs mass ascent to Mount Semeru some time ago. I was invited to a friend's for the ascent ads peppered by words mountain clean-up, tree planting, and conservation.
The reality? Semeru into the trash and the greater the potential damage to ecosystems.
Before following the mass ascent, it is better to first survey. What is the capacity of the mountain, how many climbers are allowed to participate by the committee, and it is associated with other conservation.
Be a responsible climber, guys!
2. Larger share of polluting the environment
I've climbed a mountain with a colleague who seems to have been 'senior' in terms of climbing. However, on our way to rest, when he ate a snack, he also blithely throw the garbage carelessly. That portrait most hikers who do not understand the conservation.
How difficult does bring garbage in the bag?
At other times, when I'm want to take water in a fountain, looks a climber who was enjoying the ritual of B * B in the spring!
What he does not think people will drink from there? So much for difficult was it to dig a hole in the ground? Cats still got smarter!
And many climbers are still using chemicals that could be damaging. Do not be surprised if you find packs of soap / shampoo lying close in the spring.
3. Being indifferent and passive.
Considers the conservation task is guard duty National Park, porter, and environmental NGOs. Though climber himself who had a big part in protecting the environment.
Also ignores the established wisdom of local communities. Written or unwritten. Often myths mystical mountain is actually an attempt to conservation of the community.
Not to say this, "I am not a lover of nature, really. Just nature lovers. So it's not my job dong for conservation? "
4. Destructive beauty of the mountain
Not difficult to see graffiti vandalism in the rocks, tree trunks, even climbing post. Taking flora and fauna such as edelweiss flowers, acted recklessly causing forest fires. Cigarette butts and used bonfires are still lit, open lines that should not be, arbitrarily discard the dirty wet tissue and much more.
5. Not to share knowledge about the ascent of conservative
No doubt, mountain climbing impressed now become a 'tourist'. Moreover, a lot of the influence of television shows, movies, blogs, forums and many other media.
Sharing the spirit of mountain climbing to new people without coupled spirit of conservation will only make the climber climbers tend to be a generation of antipathy towards the environment and only concerned with sheer pleasure.
Some of us may have done the above, intentionally or unintentionally. Ever, please do not repeat it again and let's remind each other to fellow climbers.
Hopefully Indonesian mountains can still be enjoyed by our children's children will be. Amen.
Greetings sustainable!

What is the backpacker's? arround backpacker and adventure with the low cost / low. Another opinion states that could also mean a backpacker international travel independently. Being a backpacker is also identified with wander. Backpacker has now become a trend, especially when people start to opt-paced adventure traveling alone or with a very low cost. When people have started to realize that traveling no longer have to be expensive. From here then developed some new terms like flashpacking, campervan, etc..
How do the backpacker? Given the independent backpacker is traveling or traveling alone or in small groups, with a low cost / low, it is very necessary for preparation.
Planning and Management becomes Backpacker
Planning
is important and absolutely necessary , as this is the starting point
of all the adventures in locations that may have never been known by a
backpacker . Careful planning not only give background location to be addressed but
also sufficient knowledge to deal with problems that may occur .
Travel planning process include:
- Determine the destination place or country to be addressed .
- Determining what to do there : a street , studying the culture , courses , learning , conferencing , shopping , etc. ?
- Finding information about the destination .
- Social, economic and political country or destination . Is it safe to travel there?
- Administrative Requirements : Passport , visa necessary or not ,
how to take care of the visa , how requirements , travel insurance ,
currency , driver's license etc.
- Natural conditions : weather , season , distance between cities , the availability of transportation
- Accommodation : where to live , how far away from the city , how
the condition of residence , who owns it ( if you have to stay at home
person ) , how far away from shopping malls / stores ( at least for
foraging ) , language , telecommunication networks , etc.
- Budget : tickets , transportation for backpackers , lodging, meals , daily necessities .
- Source of funding : how much , from which source .
Information that must be known a backpacker
Most of this information can be found on the internet by accessing the place / country will we destinations through google or through wikitravel or some other site. Besides via the Internet, books on traveling like Lonely Planet can be used as a reference, as well as seek information and ask the people who never go to the place.
Backpacker Travel Management into
Travel Management is the cornerstone of traveling with a low budget . Limited costs and time required to perform management backpacker over
the cost , time and needs careful and precise and economical.Why
is this important , example of the ticket , cheap tickets can usually
be purchased at the time of promotion or far - away days . To get a promo ticket , you must be diligent checking the airline website . There
are several low- budget airlines like Air Asia , Cebu , TigerAir ,
which often provide Jetstar promo tickets or tickets at low prices . Sometimes major airlines also do promotions with special prices in certain seasons . To facilitate a good idea to subscribe to certain airlines that regularly sends newsletters . Make it a habit to read the terms and conditions when you will buy a ticket . This is important in case you have to postpone the trip or for example the flight was canceled .
Backpacker also need time management
Time management becomes important especially if you have other activities such as work or school . Planning and good management will give some ease to travel easy , cheap and convenient . For example , during school holidays , airfares and accommodation
usually tend to be expensive , but on the contrary at the time of school
entry season ticket and accommodation prices tend to fall and become
very cheap .Summer
( Summer ) is usually not a good time to do the traveling to countries
with four seasons , as summer is generally the peak density for
traveling activities . On
the other hand , the snow season ( winter ) is also not a good time to
visit , although the possibility of cheap ticket prices , for people who
are not familiar with cold weather . Similarly, when the country you 're headed there is a big tournament like the world cup or the Olympics . Transportation and accommodations will rise in price . These conditions will have an impact on the fees you incur.
Backpacker is necessary Itinerary
Travel schedule is another thing you should prepare. Schedule Regular travel will make it easy for you in time management and expense. Get used to arrange travel schedule or itinerary before you leave. Make a list of places you will visit. If you could try to check the location via maps or access to a google map. With good planning schedule, the time and cost of your journey to become more efficient. Some of the tourist attractions there is a possibility lies in one location and adjacent. So you do not need to pay extra for transportation.
Default list Backpacker
Management also took note of luggage . Many
airlines apply the rules to a record low price ticket you are
prohibited from carrying luggage trunk , just enough cabin bag or
carry-on bag only . So you need to pay attention to this provision , if you still want to travel at a low cost . Management of luggage is very useful , especially if you do a lot of traveling on foot . The more weight you default , the heavier the load that must be supported by your body . Decide what to carry and how much , will facilitate you to travel comfortably . Remember the more you bring the more luggage you should watch . Choose clothes and shoes that are comfortable and do not require special treatment . Bring personal purposes such as medicine taste . Prepare a special padlock and key for your bag , if you have to stay by way of sharing . Make a list of items tidy and avoid default order of items left behind or confused .
Backpacker also have to control myself
With good self-management. Many events, people will go crazy and forget the commitment and purpose to travel. Self-management and commitment is especially important in managing emotions. Usually for beginners or people who first visit a little market destinations, will lose control when I saw the place and the good stuff. The best way is to discipline yourself to focus on the schedule that was created earlier. We can be flexible with the schedule that we make, but again, if you are too flexible possibilities for what you want to see and do are not met. It could be that you have to pay extra for the trip.
What are prepared Backpacker?
If
you've been able to determine where you want to target and acquire
enough information, it's time to prepare for the trip, including buying
tickets, take care of the purposes of licensing and arrange travel
itinerary. Make sure everything is arranged neatly and fulfill what you want to do and see. Take care of everything yourself will be cheaper than using the services of others. Preparing a list of belongings. It
sounds funny if we should arrange luggage, but if you do, this list
will help you keep an eye on your luggage during the journey.
Start looking for info rate hotels or cheap lodging in hostelbookers or Hostelworld. Are generally inexpensive dormitory rooms, rooming rollicking, can be air-conditioned 6 to 10 people in one room. We pay per bed / night. If you stay in the dormitory room, preferably at bedtime, valuable items, gadgets etc. is stored in the deposit box. Usually we are asked to deposit a security deposit box, and the money will be refunded when we checked out of the hostel.
Familiarize yourself to read the information that is available. Reading is one of the weaknesses of the Indonesian people. Indonesian people usually lazy to read. There are a lot of very useful information that is often missed by us because we are lazy to read. Get used to reading as it gives a lot of advantages when we travel.
The most important safety remains number 1

Ranu Pane village is a small village which is also part of the Tengger tribe village, they work in general farming vegetables. In addition there are Ranu (lake) Pane, Ranu Regulo there next to him.

Shortcut commonly used by local climbers , this path is very steep with over Mount Ayek - Ayek . Initial path to be traversed ramps , down a hillside dominated by reed plants . There is no sign signpost street , but there are signs on every 100m distance measure , just follow the signs . There are a lot of fallen trees and branches above the head , so it
