Sindoro- merapi

Sindoro mountain taken from Sumbing mountain

Suggestion for everyone who wants to explain further about their trip, please do it right after the trip coz the memories are still fresh :D
anyway it's a little bit long time for me to write about this trip, but still it's a lovely memory to be written.

Sindoro, not the highest mountain in Java, but still that high for me. the high is 3150 M dpl. The place is not far from Sumbing (the highest mountain in central Java) just separated by a road of Wonosobo-Magelang.
The path is not as difficult as Sumbing, but still for me it's pretty exhausted :(

The basecamp for registered is not far from the road, just about 100 m. Started with long road of farm then entering the forest. We started to hiking after isya and reach a place named pos IV around 02.00 O 'clock in the morning.
in this place we can build a tent and camp for a while. After take a rest for a couple of hours, around 9 O'clock we start to move again. Around one hour there should be an edelweis field, but unfortunately when we came there edelweis haven't blossom yet.

Rain fall at around 11.00 O 'clock. In this high with this rain i feel so cold, so unfortunately i stopped my self and decided not to go further and go back down to the last stop while my friends still climbed up.

Conclution for this journey, the path actually not too difficult, a lot of trees and not dry, but there's no river or any other water source.

top of Merapi taken from place called 'pasar bubrah'

Merapi, this mountain is an active mountain quite famous mountain that you hear in Yogyakarta. The high is 2918 M dpl. Usually people comes from a place named Selo, this way is the easier way to climb this mountain.

Start by registered in the base camp we climbed around 10.00 pm and reach a place called pasar bubrah around 4 am. At this high in this time, the weather is very cold. well, again me as the 'weakest' person in team have to take a lot of rest in the tent. I almost decided not to climbed to the top because of this, but all of my friend support me to do it.

Finally slowly but sure i get to the top which is called puncak Garuda. The view was very good, this is truly unforgetable moment.

conclution for this journey, the path is quite easy in summer, no water saource, from pasar bubrah to the top the road is full of sand and rock, have to be more careful.
