At 7 am depart from Kalideres terminal, take bus Murni to Labuan. We will stop at the junction of Mengger (20k/person for bus fare). About 3 hours later the three of us arrived at Mengger, eat at the Padang restaurant next to the shop of Alfamart.
We then chartered a public transportation (black color car) to the starting point for the ascent in the Village of Ciletung. Rents are 60K and the journey took about about 30 minutes. We arrived at the the entrance to the waterfall of Curug Putri. On the left side there is a gate and we paid registration here. Pay entry fee 5k/person.
Continue through the path that has been given pavingblock, then dirt track and the stone. About 1 hour later we saw the waterfall, but just because of drought, the water is almost dry.
Next to the crater of Pulosari. We had to scramble up the right side of the track. Approximately 1.5 hours later we arrived at the crater area. Its location perhaps similar to the same crater in Salak.
We continued hiking but because we never been to Pulosari, we didnt know the right track to the top.
We select a path which through the crater, and then follow a dry river. The longer we hike, the track became more steeper, almost vertical. During that time, I was thinking 'I will never be able to come down using this track again. Its so steep!'.
Slowly crept up the cliffs. At the end of the path, its more difficult because the footing more and more minimal. Luckily, it didnt rain at that time, so it wasnt so slippery. Using roots of trees I finally could climb to the top.
Edge of the cliff is a clump of bamboo trees which were quite dense. Here the weather began worsening and it started raining. We started to climb again, but then lost track due to a dense bamboo forest.
bamboo forest. Apparently we were choosing the wrong track since hiking up the crater! because
there was a circular path that up to the ridges and we didnt have to climb the cliffs. Finally, after starting from the registration post at 11:50, we arrived at the peak of Pulosari at 15:50.
These peaks form a narrow flat land. Before us was an open space, we could see far below to the crater. In the distance appears Mount Karang, Mount Aseupan and villages. Far there appears Sunda Strait which blanketed by the cloud, only the tops of Mount Anak Rakata sticking out from behind the clouds.
Then the rain came again, so we had to cancel our plans to watch the lunar eclipse at that night.
Woke up in the morning. Apparently two of our friends had came at 2 am and made shelter near our tents.
Around 8 o'clock we hiked down. Now follow the circular path which were more secure. Arrived at the crater, we took a rest.
Now we didnt go down to Ciletung but instead choose another track to Pamengker Village.
The track was slippery and i fell four times. Finally at 10 am we arrived at the village and had a big rest at the house of one villager.
