Other side of Manglayang "Batukuda Cliff"

Bandung 23 August 2014, words come from me to one of my friends tatang "Let's go to Manglayang, by the cliff". without any resistance he said "ok". then he asked me, when? "today at 3 pm" i said. and he said "great". So we try to invite more friends, but we just got ivan "penbul" with us..
at 4 pm we start hiking, our first destionation was get to the cliff before sunset, so we can enjoy the sunset.

Our first check point, Batukuda "orange 'tatang" "blue penbul" 
View of Batukuda in afternoon, so beautiful. and so fresh... love it

your eyes will be spoiled by many of this kind of pine in Batukuda, 
Pine, here and there.. so greenn
We got to the cliff at 5 pm, but unfortunately we didn't get the sunset. it was block by the ridge.
without the sunset the view was still great, it was perfect already. :D
To get to top of the cliff you must climb, yes you must., there's no other way round.
let the pictures bellow telling their selves how vertical they are.
this cliff is much better than "keraton" cliff, and this cliff was also much more challenging.  

Tatang try to reach the top, by climbing the cliff while penbul still waiting for his turn..
Doing a "kungfu panda" move at he top of the cliff.. you must have a big guts to do this..
(well he got that, as a bonus he got a big body too :D, no offence brow, just kidding)

Just got to the top, I think i'm gonna enjoy this momment saveral minutes..

Couldn't take my self, at least i got my hand. :D
 In this cliff, there's also edelweiss. grow in the side of it. we spent the end of the day here, at least till 7pm. then we got to the top (1818 mdpl) get back in Batukuda at 22.30 pm..


This is the only sunset we got, it was blocked by the ridge

Tatang enjoying the night, bandung at night is so beautiful
still checking e-mail.. though there's "no service" :D
