Hash :: Mount Andong > Magelang ~ Central Java ~ Indonesia (3)

This is the 3rd time I'm hiking at Mount Andong.

Today, I climb with my friends. We all 8 people. Today is my friend birthday, so she wants to celebrate it by hiking at Mount Andong.

From Magelang, go to Kopeng direction, before Ngablak market turn left.

Follow the road.

There will be a sign, that the place is Mount Andong basecamp. So you don't have to worry. The entrance ticket : IDR 5.000/pax and IDR 5.000/car.

There's 2 rest area while climbing. After passed 2nd rest area, you will see this beautiful scenery.

Then after almost 1 hour and 40 minutes climbing, I arrive at the peak. This time, I walk really slow because I accompany one of my friend. Usually, it only took 1 hour and 15 minutes.

When you see this scene, then you have arrived at the peak

Mount Andont's Peak, 1726 MASL

The weather is nice, but the wind blew so strong. We didn't accross the devil's bridge / cow's back shape bridge because of the wind.

We celebrate my friend's birthday, by take picture. She brought the birthday banner.

At the Andong's Peak, you can see 5 and more mountain: Mount Merbabu, Mount Merapi, Mount Sumbing, Mount Sindoro, Mount Lawu, Mount Telomoyo, and Mount Ungaran.

Then we rest while eating noodle in one of the stan on Andong's Peak.
After a while, we go back down which not too easy because it's slipery. It took 1 hour and 18 minutes to go down.

Hash :: Mount Andong > Magelang ~ Central Java ~ Indonesia (2)

Today, out site is hiking mount Andong again. This time, a lot of hasher wants to try to climb until the peak. As for me, I want to cross the devil's bridge because last time I didn't cross the bridge.. :D

We arrive at the basecamp, and start to hike

We start to hike, and go to the 1st stop. This is the trail, if you never jogging / hiking, then you have to climb slowly, don't too rush.

There's 2 rest post in here. Use it well, but I thought that you can't stop too long, or your muscle will stiff.

After the 2nd post, the path is started to more extreme.

But we can start to see the beautiful scenery.

And it started to feel hot because of the sun.

If you see this mountain, then you will arrive at the peak soon.

Finally, after about 45 minutes, we arrive at the peak.

This is the Devil's Bridge / you can see it as the back of a cow.

Becarefull while crossing the bridge, because the width is only about 30cm.

Both side is cliff, don't see the downside too often, or you will be dizzy.

Finally, I'm on the other side of the peak. It's beautiful. We can see almost 7 mountain in here. We take picture so many.

Telomoyo Mountain

Merapi and Merbabu Mountain

Then we go back down. It's more steep when we go down, so you have to be more careful.

Hash :: Punthuk Sukmojoyo & Pos Mati > Magelang ~ Central Java ~ Indonesia

Located at Dusun Krinjing, Giri Tengah Village, near Borobudur Temple, this place is still unknown to many people. Just to go Borobudur Temple direction, until you see Manohara Hotel, go straight until the second intersection, then turn right. And follow the path until you see a car station.

Then from there, you can go by "Ojek" / motorcycle, pay for IDR 30.000 to visit 2 locations: Punthuk Mongkrong & Punthuk Sukmojoyo.

This time, because we go there for hash, then we walk until Punthuk Sukmojoyo (short path). The way to there is uphill, so prepare a comfortable shoes and drink.

This is the place to park your motorcycle

There's so many vegetables around, the most famous in here is Ginger

You need approximately 30 minutes to climb. But the view after is so amazing. If you plan to visit on sunrise / sunset, then count your time carefully.

This is Punthuk Sukmojoyo

Punthuk is the peak of a mountain.

view from Punthuk Sukmojoyo

There's a facility to enjoy the scene, if you brave enough, you can stand in the bamboo and take picture.

From Punthuk Sukmojoyo, you can go to Punthuk Mongkrong but the way to go there is so dificult. So we go back down but through another way. We passed Pos Mati Diponegoro. The way to go here is so dificult. If you never experience climb mountain, better you back by the first path and then ride motorcycle to go to Pos Mati.

This place is good choice if you have time to go on trip.
