This mountain is a natural attractions and can be traced from Airmadidi (Capital of North Minahasa Regency). This mountain is a volcano that is no longer active. Mountaintop Klabat shaped crater has a small lake with very clear water.

The word is taken from the Minahasa Klabat "Kalawat" dialect Tonsea "Kalabat". This word is mentioned by Portuguese sailors "Calabets" as the name of a mountain on the island of Sulawesi, the word is named as the name of the island that later Calabes so Calabes = Celebes Sulawesi ended up being this word became the name of the island of Sulawesi. Read the history of Sulawesi by David DS Lumoindong.

Klabat name immortalized as the name of the village Klabat, Klabat Stadium in the city of Manado, and University Airmadidi, North Minahasa regency. (Wikipedia.com)
Actually there are several hiking paths in the mountain Klabat, the path from the village Laikit Dimembe districts of North Minahasa, Minahasa Klabat lanes of villages north and a common pathway commonly passed by the climbers, the path of the capital of North Minahasa Regency, Airmadidi village lanes. This post I took from the path used by the general public.
A hiking trail starting from the zero point (zero point) of Manado (market 45).
In this zero point you can use public transportation (micro) majors paal 2 (Rp. 2.000, -) and then get off at the terminal Paal 2 that "the word" local government clean and beautiful.

Once you arrive at the terminal paal 2 aermadidi find public transportation department and get off at the terminal aermadidi (Rp. 3.500, -)

Aermadidi terminal to the office of the police station aermadidi (Entry Point) you can use local taxis (Rp. 2.000, -), but I love the advice you should walk while looking cewe2 minahasa ato you can stop in the secretariat KMPA GREEN SHOOTS Aermadidi. after your walk is approximately 15 minutes from the terminal aermadidi you will find an office, police station aermadidi your left.

prepare file2 you (photocopy of ID card + permits for climbers outside the region), after getting permission from the father of Police honored, pray by faith and trust each - each as you will enter the entry point of this climb (left hallway right next to the office of the police station).
before the track should prepare baik2 supplies drinking water for all tracking would have trouble finding water.
Entry point - the post I
from the entry point in the post until I you will pass through housing estates residents and residents as well as the dominance of palm trees will welcome you all to post the first tracking path and sandy. travel time approximately 60 minutes you are already in post in the post I. I no hut or shelter.



Heading I - Pos II
the travel time between the post I to post the second about 90 minutes. increasingly uphill track with a slope of 30 degrees. Just info hiking trails there are only 2-junction that needs attention. fork
The first download the T-junction turn left and take the second right turn. if you are lucky you will bump into "Yaki" black monkey crested. pohon2 dominance of large and flat areas and allows you to rest sejanak ato open tent in the post II.

Pos II - Pos V
why I missed a few post ... ?? because due to the distance between the tracks and post to post more or less the same and equally challenging climb with a slope with the same road conditions (Klabat including rain forest so the road is quite slippery advisable to wear trekking shoes are adequate). -sometimes sometimes we need the help of the hand (scrambling) using stout tree to tree roots ato tracking. maybe that's why the local climbers call "helicopter ladder".
travel time of post II -Pos V approximately 4-5 hours (15 minute breaks per post). for the local climbers usually perform tracking at night.

Pos V - Pos VI
If you are lucky you will find a source of water in the left lane decreased slightly. post V is a flat area and a little bit open. track leading to the post VI decorated with weeds and moss-covered trees. if the whole track is filled haze means you are shortly going to arrive in the mail VI. in the post this VI, you can open the hood because the area is wide and flat, but it is also close to the springs, and lakes Klabat. The ambiance of the lake at night is quite creepy. Klabat lake located in the basin like the crater, and overgrown trees and a sloping wooden trunk filled with moss.

Heading VI - Peak
The trip to the peak takes about 15-20 minutes. with footpaths overgrown by alang - alang which in Manado called "Kusu - Kusu". The trip from Post V can be started depending on the plan you ascent, if wanted to enjoy the Sunrise be useful to start climbing the summit at about 04.00 in the morning. State of the peak of a region that is flat and wind blowing pretty hard. When the weather pretty well we will be able to enjoy a view of the outskirts of the city of Manado, beaches, beauty Bitung harbor, Mount Lokon and Mount Mahawu, and Mount Tangkoko and Dua Saudara.
