Tour Reviews
The evening/night at Camp #2 on the Wekas route to Merbabu summit was fantastic ! The kids have slept well, which was a bit unexpected (to be honest, I was expecting more difficulties with the kids for sleeping in tent / sleeping bag). Overall, the service was fantastic and Rani’s team very nice and professional. We really appreciated how the team managed the difficult sections of the route with necessary gears and skills to ensure good safety of all the participants, especially the kids. The only thing that could be improved I think is the food for the kids. For instance: simple mashed potatoes, pasta, etc. might be better appreciated by Western little kids.
