Located on Malaysia's side of Borneo island, Mount Kinabalu is Southeast Asia's tallest peak that can be conquered in 2 days. Choose between the challenging via ferrata that is a series of tightrope bridges and narrow walkways, or a an easier 2 to 3 hour walk on the way down.

Mount Bromo
A couple hours from Surabaya, Indonesia is the magnificent Mount Bromo, an active volcano that still spews white sulphurous smoke. The highlight of this trek is seeing the sun rise behind Mount Bromo from neighbouring Mount Batok. Enjoy the area through a series of 1-2 hour treks or take the easy way with a combination of jeep, horse and minimal hiking.

Mount Rinjani
If you have 2 days, 1 night, lots of energy and enthusiasm to spare, the hike up Mount Rinjani on Indonesia's Lombok island is well worth the trek.
