Mount Telomoyo is a volcanic peak in Central Java, Indonesia, rising above the surrounding plains north of the Central Javanese lowlands. It forms a prominent local landmark visible from nearby towns.

Day hikers visit for short summit treks and for sunrise or sunset viewpoints that look over nearby plains and settlements. Trails are used by local outdoor groups and the peak is commonly combined with visits to nearby volcanic landscapes.

The mountain is a volcanic cone whose form results from eruptions and subsequent erosion; it is one of several volcanic features on the northern side of Central Java’s volcanic belt. Local route descriptions treat it as a straightforward hike relative to higher Javanese volcanoes.

The peak sits inland in Central Java, north of the city of Semarang and inland from the northern Javanese coast. Trail access is from nearby villages on the mountain’s lower slopes.
