F

ive trekkers have reportedly gone astray at Mt. Merbabu in Boyolali, Central Java, after climbing through Selo track starting at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

The five missing trekkers were identified as Danang, Ahmad, Rizky, Wajyu and Mughni, according to Sugito, an officer of Mt. Merbabu base camp.

Information about their being at a lost was received after Rizky contacted one of his friends in Boyolali, asking for help.

Rizky also said they decided to set up a tent after they were in exhaustion and coldness amid the fact they were in short of logistics.

A search and rescue team had been deployed on Thursday night in search for the missing trekkers. (hhr)
