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

Gn.Guntur, (Cetarrrr)

After several months without journey, finally, a friend of mine invited me to go to Mt.Guntur. Without many considerations, i accept it. a trip thiis time is more like a way to escape from my reality, coz, i'm still in the middle of my thesis. hahaha

At first, it's only I, Penbul, Tatang, Puji, and Andry that wanted to go to Mt.Guntur. But in the last minute, Angga and Delio decided to join. Lucky for Angga, he can get "sleeping bag" but not for Delio. He just got himself a thin jacket and a shirt (hmm, hopefully, he can handle the weather, :))

In Friday night, we got there. we spent one night in the gas station and continue hiking on the next day. first thing in the morning, we got our breakfast and then started hiking. This Mountain may not be high if we saw the height but don't ever try to measure it from the height. coz the track was so hard. we have to stop several times just to fill our throat with water.

After around 6 hours trip, we got to the first peak. we started setting up the tent, and planed to get to the top tomorrow. It was so cold, i only can see 5 meters b'coz of the mist.

The next day, after having our breakfast, we get to the top (almost forget, the top is on the third peak).   

Although we didn't have to get our carrier there, we still felt exhausted. There is a  "GPS" sign created by geodesi student from ITB  in the second peak. and in the top, off course, there's a flag and an altitude sign.

Here's some picture taken:

The Path

Still happy and always happy along the way. :)

Ngabuburit with Komunitas Alet, Bus Bandros and many others

Ini para Aleutians yang lagi nunggu bus Bandros datang.. sbelum ngantri, foto keluarga dulu. :D
Untuk start bus bandros, di depan taman kandaga puspa, bayar 10 rebu untuk sekali perjalanan

 

Antusiasme warga bandung yang ingin merasakan naik bus Bandros, karena sudah penuh, yang lain milih bersabar sambil foto-foto

 

Di atas , di dalam, di depan bus semuanya dijadikan tempat untuk foto-foto

Pesan dari pemandu wisata Bandros: Persatuan indonesia nomor tiga. :D
Hatur Nuhun pa.
