Nestled on the flanks of Mount Welirang in Mojokerto Regency, East Java, the Pacet hot springs emerge as natural sulfurous outflows amid dense tropical forest in the heart of the Arjuno-Welirang volcanic complex. The water surfaces at 42 °C with a mildly acidic pH of 6.5, carrying the sharp mineral character of East Java's active volcanic geology — warm, pungent with sulfur, and animated by the geothermal energy of one of the most volcanically active island chains on Earth.

Pacet's springs have long drawn families from Surabaya and Mojokerto seeking the cooler elevations of the East Javanese highlands along with the natural warmth of volcanic water. Bathing here is an encounter with raw geological force, softened by the lush surrounding forest of ferns and jungle canopy. The combination of intense heat at 42 °C, sulfurous mineral water, and the cloud-forest atmosphere of Arjuno-Welirang creates an immersive experience that is distinctly Javanese — unhurried, nature-led, and tied to the volcanic landscape that has shaped this island's terrain and culture in equal measure.

Insider tip — Pacet springs emerge on the western flank of the Arjuno-Welirang volcanic complex in East Java, where geothermal activity feeds mineral-rich waters into pools surrounded by pine and tropical forest. The site's elevation around 900 m provides relief from the lowland heat of Surabaya and Malang. The nearby Dlundung waterfall and scenic trekking trails make Pacet a full-day highland retreat. Accommodation ranges from government rest houses to private villas with spring-fed baths.
