By advance organization only, Salak Summit is not to be taken lightly, nor done last minute. If you want to do the one day up & back miserable cowboy style hike, we do not organize, but can put you in touch with park guides, our summit hike is designed to take a bit more time, for safety first, but also so that you may have the time to enjoy the high mountain forest.

If you have your own self practice, we have a number of areas available for use and a limited number of yoga mats we can provide. We can also arrange a local yoga teacher to facilitate groups if you have enough willing participants.
