Gunung Butak

Getting there: For domestic flights from or to East Java, such as the airports in Surabaya, Malang and Banyuwangi, we recommend Baolau. There are regular flights and train services from Jakarta to Malang. Batu is also around 4-5 drive from Surabaya, which has more frequent flights. There are lots of angkots to Batu from Malang – though you may need to change vehicle a couple of times. Taxis from Malang to/from Batu are also available and it costs around 100k Rupiah from Batu to Malang Airport, a journey that takes 1 hour. For Sirah Kencong, the nearest train stations are Wlingi and Blitar. For Kraton Gunung Kawi, the nearest train stations are Kepanjen and Malang.

Permits: Rp8,000 per person (2017) on the Tuyomerto route. Take a photocopy of your passport photo page just in case. Small registration fees payable at the other trailheads. For Gunung Kawi, tickets are Rp10,000 per hiker (in 2020) payable at Dusun Tulungrejo, Pujon Kidul.
Water sources: An excellent spring is available at Cemoro Kandang camping area (2,670m) near the summit. On the Pujon trail to Gunung Kawi there is a water pipe at 1,570m where the trail leaves the Sumber Pitu trail. A water butt is at the northern Kawi summit but not always reliable and only strictly safe after boiling.
Accommodation: Try the Booking.com map above or use this link to search for suitable hotels, homestays, resorts and apartments for your trip.
We recommend Safety Wing as travel insurance for overseas travellers and tourists hiking up to elevations not exceeding 4500 metres.
