No need to have an extraordinary level of fitness, you can reach its summit even if you never do mountain climbing before. When you reach the summit, prepare to be enchanted by the jaw-dropping view of the glowing blue flame. The flame you see is not coming from the lava, but it’s from the combustion of sulfuric gases and contacted with the air. FYI, there are only 2 volcanoes in the world that have the blue flames within. One of them is the Ijen Volcano which is totally worth to visit for once in a lifetime.

Perhaps, a new experience of sightseeing at midnight would give you a different impression.

When you arrived at the parking area of Mount Ijen, prepare for a long walk to reach the peak of the crater. You don’t have to master climbing ability to climb the mountain, even the Mount Ijen is your first mountain. Just keep going and follow the path. As you reach the top, prepare to get wowed when the electric blue flames streaming down the mountain during the starry night. The blue flame can be seen only in the dark night. But the best time to see it is at midnight when the air around you is breathable.
