Watched the sun rise from the top
of the mountain is a luxury that not everyone can enjoy it. These are extreme,
unpredictable weather, tough journey, as well as the distance that must be
reached by walking a major barrier for some people. However, this does not
apply at Mount Nglanggeran, Patuk, Gunung Kidul. It takes only 1 to 1.5 hours
of ascent, you will arrive at the summit of Mount Nglanggeran west, Mount Gede.
Beautiful scenery feast for the eyes also welcomed. As far as the eye can see
visible expanse of clouds in height, the ranks of rock with a unique shape,
township residents, and green rice paddies and fields. At dusk approaching, the
city of Yogyakarta will look like a sea of fireflies. Sprinkling starlight
and the sparkling city lights visible from a distance becomes a romantic view
for anyone who camped on the mountain.

karst region Baturagung, mountain litologinya composed by fragments of old

It was still early when we headed
east peak Nglanggeran. According to the manager, this place is the best spot
for menikmat sunrise. Unfortunately when we arrived reluctant to move so dense
clouds covered the sun. Since not able to watch the sunrise, we chose to visit
the house of Mbah Redjodimulyo as elders who live in Pucak Nglanggeran.
According Mbah Redjo, Hamlet Tlogo Mardidho in Puncak Nglanggeran only be
occupied by 7 heads of households. If the head of the family who lived in this
village are more or less there will be bad things that are not desirable. This
can be seen with the presence of the tomb in Puncak Nglanggeran. Therefore, if
their children are married then the new family had to leave the hamlet Tlogo
Mardhido.
After visiting the village with
the seven heads of the family, we went back to the base camp and try to climb
Mount Gede. In contrast to the eastern peak that can still be achieved using
motorcycles to reach Gunung Gede anyone mandatory tracking. Down a path with a rock
on the right and left of the road into an exciting experience. Getting to the
top, the road getting steep. Some straps are installed to facilitate the
climbers. Yet after a sigh, facing new challenges. A narrow gap with nan steep
rock on the right and left welcomed. Rather dark narrow corridor can only be
crossed by one person. Shortly after successfully conquer a friend said,
"It's like in the movie 127 Hours, tense but cool ..."
