\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mount Batur \u2013 Bali, Indonesia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fitness level: <\/strong>Low to average<\/p>\n

This active volcano in Bali \u2013 located near the popular, also climbable Mount Agung \u2013 is a great option for those inexperienced with trekking up mountains.<\/p>\n

The climb is relatively short and easy, and doesn\u2019t require an overnight stay. You simply start out just past midnight the night before and reach the peak in about two hours \u2013 in time for a beautiful sunrise on the summit.<\/p>\n

Mount Batur is located in the middle of two calderas (volcanic craters) which make for a spectacular natural landscape.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mount Kinabalu \u2013 Sabah, Malaysia<\/h2>\n

Fitness level: <\/strong>Average<\/p>\n

Climb duration: <\/strong>Two days, one night<\/p>\n

One of the highest mountains in south-east Asia, Mount Kinabalu is famous for its summit views which draw climbers from all over the world.<\/p>\n

A typical climb on the popular Low\u2019s Peak circuit starts off covering about 6km over five hours on the first day, bringing you to Laban Rata where there are several guesthouses to rest for a few hours overnight. The climb continues early the next morning \u2013 just past midnight \u2013 in time to reach the peak before sunrise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mount Rinjani \u2013 Lombok, Indonesia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fitness level: <\/strong>Very fit<\/p>\n

Climb duration: <\/strong>Three to four days\"gunung-rinjani\"Gunung Rinjani \/ CC by 3.0 \/\u00a0Rosino<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the physical challenges the climb poses, Mount Rinjani \u2013 the second highest active volcano in Indonesia \u2013 requires some experience and\/or a high level of fitness to conquer and is not recommended for inexperienced climbers.<\/p>\n

The view from the summit is, of course, stunning \u2013 but many are happy enough to stop at the crater rim around 1000m below the summit. The crater rim takes about two days to reach and is an amazing experience in itself!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mount Fuji \u2013 Honshu, Japan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fitness level: <\/strong>Average<\/p>\n

Climb duration: <\/strong>Two days, one night<\/p>\n

Overnight climbs on Mount Fuji are increasingly popular, so be prepared to join many other trekkers on your way up to view the sunrise at the peak. In fact, it may be advisable to plan your climb during the more popular climbing season from July\/August, as you\u2019re surrounded by more experienced climbers.<\/p>\n

There are a total of 10 \u2018stations\u2019 \u2013 the first station is at the foot and the 10th<\/sup> is at the peak. The first station offers a paved road path up to the fifth station. There are four fifth stations, all on different sides of the mountain.<\/p>\n

Most climbers start their ascent from one of these four stations and make their way up the mountain over one or two days, depending on their experience and fitness levels.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jade Mountain \u2013 Taiwan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fitness level: <\/strong>High (one-day hike), moderate (two-day hike)<\/p>\n

Climb duration: <\/strong>One to two days, depending on your fitness level<\/p>\n

\"jade-mountain-taiwan\"CC by 3.0 \/\u00a0\u767d\u58eb \u674e<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The highest peak in eastern Asia, Jade Mountain offers climbers a more strenuous option of scaling the peak in just one day or a more manageable two-day split.<\/p>\n

The route up the mountain is gradual and generally manageable, only getting steeper towards the end just before the peak. The view, once you reach the peak, is mesmerising \u2013 watch the sky light up in sunrise hues of orange and red above the mountainous landscape and over the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n
