How is it organized?
The trekking starts from Kasawari village. It takes around one hour to hike up to the peak of the Batu Angus volcano with its 3 km wide, flat-topped basaltic-andesitic lava dome. From there you can make another 2 hour trek through the beautiful jungle.
Considering the fact that there have very little tourists visiting this area, the animals are “really wild & shy”. Thus, you may not be able to see them as close as in Tangkoko nature reserve.
This is half a day trip and you can be back at the resort at lunch time.
