Abstract: Some climbers specifically intend to do khalwat through climbing. Khalwat is solitude to get closer to God. Climbers who do this hope to be able to avoid bad things, get closer to goodness, and get closer to God as a way out of the stress they experience. The purpose of this study was to determine the form or behavior of khalwat and to see the role of khalwat in the stress coping process carried out by mountaineer in Kudus Regency. The determination of the participants in this study used a purposive sampling technique with a qualitative phenomenological approach and data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews with four participants in July 2024. From the research that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the form of khalwat carried out by each respondent is different. Respondents carry out khalwat behaviour by being alone, filling their time with positive things and avoiding negative things, and praying. Solitude (khalwat) when climbing a mountain can be used as a stress coping. This is based on the output or impact that participants feel after doing solitude on the mountain. Seclusion helps the mountain climbing process to make it easier to find peace, alleviate problems, and increase the spirituality of climbers.
