Ascent to Bromo volcano
Ascent in volcanic clouds
The second most popular short hike in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park is the ascent to the Bromo volcano, which made this national park famous.

Ascent to Kilimanjaro
Ascent along the classic Marangu route
Tanzania attracts travelers mainly to its world-famous safaris. However, there is also the highest mountain in all of Africa, Kilimanjaro, which in turn attracts tourists and trekkers.

Ascent of Mount Damavand
To the highest volcano in Asia
The ascent of the highest Asia's volcano Damavand is the most famous and also the most frequently walked hike throughout Iran.

Smokey fumaroles near the top and the clouds unfortunately obstruct the nice views from the top, so here is certainly true that the views of the volcano are more beautiful than views from the volcano. continue reading
