Morning trek through trails in the middle of mountain shrubs and bushes for about 13 kilometers to reach the tranquility of the lake (Ranu Kumbolo at 2400 m) for lunch, the trek continues to Kalimati (2700 m), an open savannah. You will seek after the best place to pitch your tent and provide the best place to monitor the continual gusts spouting from the vent of the Mount Semeru.
Day 3: Kalimati - Mahameru (Peak) - Ranupani - Bromo (Breakfast, Lunch)
Around midnight, departure for Arcapada (2.900 m) to try the hardest part to the summit (3.676 m).
