Wear layered clothing and thick jackets

Use shoes that have serrated soles or special mountain shoes

Thick socks for sure

Use a scarf and hat to protect you from the piercing cold air of the early morning.

Just bring things as needed

If you are afraid of hunger, try to eat only food

Flashlight. Along the way to Ijen Crater, the only sight that can be seen is pitch black.

Masks are very important while there.

UV Glasses.

Finally, for those of you who have made pretty good preparations but are still not strong enough to trek to Ijen Crater, don't worry because there are human motorcycle taxis ready to help you get to the top of Mount Ijen by using a cart.
