Before doing Ppendakian should report at Police Station Selo, after signing up to go to the base camp of Mt.. Merbabu, from Selo precisely from the police station, climbers must walk down a paved road about 3 hours, quite far away and uphill so it is quite tiring. Crossing the villages and fields that are in steep slopes. Climbers can hire a car like vegetables to go to basecamp, or can also ride motorcycles. For heating climbing, walking can be a cheaper option.

Usually climbers stay at home residents after or before climbing a mountain Merbabu also be basecamp. Her house is very large can accommodate dozens of climbers who stayed.

After walking about an hour of this dry river winding paths once steep climb up the hill and we come around the bend tiger. In this Tiger bend we could look down into the abyss that is still shrouded in dense forest. In this Tiger bend down climbers can get lost because the actual paths are hand side instead of straight down.

Of bend lines Tigers started slightly open, but still through the forest that is not too heavy again. Path began to climb, the next half hour started a little difficult path and increasingly steep. About an hour from the Corner Tigers climbers will arrive at Slate.

Climbers can take a break while lying in the shade of the woods Edelweiss. Here is the last place that can be used for shelter and rest comfortably, because the next track in the form of open grassland, dry and very steep, dusty in the dry season and very slippery in the wet season.

From Jemblongan back climbers must fight to climb steep hills, slippery and dusty. The peak of Mount Merbabu is still visible as it is covered hill.

After walking about 1 hour will appear peaks Merbabu. Very beautiful scenery in front of the eyes, as well as stunning scenery, as we see steep terrain path we should go to reach the top of the mountain Merbabu. Reversed view towards Mount Merapi is also very beautiful. When we walked carefully around about 25 meters on the right track we will find a stone berlobang.Sekitar 30 minutes to 1 hour takes up the fight end with a steep meadow paths and dusty to reach the highest peak of the mountain Merbabu.
