Trip to Mount Ciremai

on 21-22 January with four friends I went to Mount Ciremai in Kuningan, West Java.
Friday (20/1/2012) met with others in Kampung Rambutan bus terminal. We used bus Saluyu to go to Cileunyi at 10 PM, cost 25k rupiahs per person.
Saturday, around 2AM, we arrived at Cileunyi then continue to Cikijing using a small bus (we called it 'Elf'). Around 4AM arrived at Pasar Maja. The weather was cold and it was started raining but not for long.
We walked uphill then found the terminal for car to Apuy village. We hired a pickup car to take us to Apuy then continue to Pos 1. In Apuy we registered first at Ciremai Park office.
Around 8AM we started hiking from Pos 1 Apuy. It was a new shelter. The old track to Pos 2 Arban now covered by bushes. The asphalt road to Arban was abandoned since Ciremai became a national park and almost ruined.
Arban shelter used to be a small wooden hut but now its new and bigger. Continued hiking uphill, we passed shelters like Simpang Lima, Tegal Masawa, Tegal Jamuju, and Sanghyang Rangkah.
Finally we reached Goa Walet around 4PM while the weather became windy and its raining. Made camp here and got rest.
Sunday, at 7 AM we hiked to the peak while its still windy and cold. Took about 1 hour to reach it. We saw the crater and walked around but not for very long as it was quite cold. After took some pictures we walked down to Goa Walet.
Around 10 AM we broke the tents then hiking down. Now we didn't go to Apuy again but to another village, Palutungan, using another trail. The weather is fine but it was raining a bit when we almost reached Palutungan.
It was 5PM when we arrived at the village. Feeling very tired we decided to stay for the night at the house of one villager in Palutungan.
Monday (23/1) at 7 AM we used ojeks to go to Kuningan then got a bus to take us back to Jakarta.
