Back to Mount Gede
Last week I went back hiking to Mount Gede via Gunung Putri route. Arrived at Gunung Putri after midnight, we spent the night at Pak Jalaludin's house.
Saturday morning (5/5), we began hiking. This time i joined the team KPAWW Jakarta. The weather was nice although rather cloudy near 12 am. The path leading to old information house had been cleared from bushes, and the park management also had built stairways to help hikers.
Feeling sad after found that the new Pos 1 now was in ruins. Someone stolen the roof so now we could not stay at that post.
After six hours we reached the west part of Lembah Suryakencana. We made camps at the usual site, near the waterhole.
That night the moon was looked bigger as it was a supermoon. But i didn't take pictures as it was quite cold outside and prefer spent the night inside the tent.
Sunday morning, we had breakfast then broke camps. Hiking down to Gunung Putri again, we got soaked by heavy rain which falling after we passed Pos 3. The rain stopped after near 3pm.

Hiking to Mount Manglayang
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.

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.

Went to Mount Rakutak
Mount Rakutak (Gunung Rakutak) is a small mountain in Majalaya, not far from Bandung, the capital of West Java province.
This trip was held on weekend, 14/15 Jan 2012. There were four of us from Jakarta, and when we arrived in Bandung, we accompanied by another four hikers from Bandung.
From Bandung, we took public vehicle (angkot) to Ciparay then continued to Cikitu. Here we got off then started hiking through Rumbia Village. Then we entered paddy fields area before starting climb up to Rakutak Peak.
We started from Rumbia around 11 AM and arrived at Peak 1 around 2 PM. From Peak 1 to Peak 2, we had to pass narrow track with deep ravines at right and left of the track. Quite scary.
Then from Peak 2 to Peak 3, there was another narrow track, narrower and longer than the first one! Thanks God at that time the weather was quite good with no wind, otherwise maybe we had to go down.
At 4 PM we decided to make camp not far from Peak 3 or the highest point of Rakutak. From here we could see to faraway villages. Many small hills and mountains surrounded Rakutak, like Mount Cikuray, Mount Kendeng etc.
In the morning we walked to Peak 3. Here we could see the Lake of Ciharus. At first we were planning to go to that lake then continued to Garut, but we had no time.
So we back to camp, broke the tents and hiking down, not to Rumbia again but to another village, which was Ciburial.
We reached that village around 4 PM after had to hike a very muddy track.
