Saturday, 25 Feb 2012: Our original plan was to climb Mount Burangrang near Bandung. We took a bus from Primajasa pool Cililitan Jakarta to Bandung at 5am. Arrived at Bandung at 7.57am, then had breakfast at Ampera restorant near Leuwi Panjang.
Took an angkot green to Cimahi Pasar Atas. Then changed to yellow angkot at Cimahi to Cisarua SPN then hired this car to take us to Pos Komando Burangrang. Unfortunately after we arrived there, the mountain was closed as it was being used for military exercise.
We changed the plan and now decided to climb Mount Manglayang in Jatinangor. From Pos Komando, we used the same yellow angkot to Cimahi. Then took angkot back to Leuwipanjang. We stopped at Terminal Elang and continued by Damri bus to Jatinangor.
From Jatinangor, we hired ojeks to Baru Beureum. Our starting point was Warung Bu Ipah. About 2.15pm we started hiking Mount Manglayang.
But at first we got the wrong track as we never been here before. We met with a local man who show us the right track fortunately. This track was steep. At some points we had to scramble to get to the top. I was glad that at that moment the weather was clear, because if it was raining i was sure the track will be much slippery and dangerous.
After 2 hours we made it and reached the east peak of Mount Manglayang. We decided to camp here as it was a good location; open to all sides. The weather still clear but it began raining from 6pm to 10 pm.
Sunday 26; after breakfas we broke the tent and continued hiking to the top of Mount Manglayang, about 40 minutes of steep track. Manglayang had some old graves at the top and this peak was surrounded by trees so we couldn't see panorama from here.
We hiked down to Batu Kuda area. Not far from the peak, we saw a big stone which was called Batu Keraton (Castle Rock). Some local people considered this stone as a sacred place and we met four locals who I thought will give 'sesajen' or presents to this stone.
At 1.30pm we arrived at Batu Kuda. Hired angkot to take us to Leuwi Panjang bus terminal and we back to Jakarta.
