Ranu Pani
Highland lake village at about 2,100 meters where the Semeru trek begins, with lake and mountain scenery, terraced vegetable fields, and nearby Ranu Regulo lake.
Ranu Pani is the starting village for hiking Mount Semeru. The small lake of the same name beside the village reflects the green mountains and the Tengger people's vegetable fields, and a short climb away lies the quieter Ranu Regulo lake. Hikers heading to Ranu Kumbolo or Semeru register and check their equipment at the national park station in the village. From Malang via Tumpang, a jeep ride takes about 2 hours, passing the Teletubbies Savanna on the way. In July and August, frost often forms at night, and early-morning temperatures can drop to around zero degrees Celsius.
