Merapi,Jogja! Other Lovely Trekking with #IcikAmu


Assalamualaikum warahmatullah hi wabarakatuh

Dear All, How are you? Happy and healthy yaa! 
Spoiler picture! X)

Merapi was never been enough to explored! A marvelous farewell party with some friends of mine in Summit of Mt.Merapi isn’t enough to enjoy this active volcanoin. Bandang, member of my coasistensi group (A.2014.01 #IcikAmu) challanged us to enjoy Merapi view from another side. He promised us that we had saucer eyed due to the beauty of Merapi only after hiked for 90 minutes. Administratively, this mountain is located in 4 area include Sleman, Magelang, Klaten and Boyolali. It was on  January 10th 2015, I and 9 member of #IcikAmu ride our motorcycle stoutly to Turgo. Turgo village is located in Pakem sub district, Sleman regency, Yogyakarta. Having Kaliurang gas station as our meeting point, We started our journey at 06.30 WIB, head to north and follow the route to Kaliurang street, keep going north for about 26 km and safely arrived in Turgo at 07.30 WIB.
#Selfie before hiking! :D

Its Turgo! Located in the height of Merapi slope enables Turgo to have rich natural. The air was cool also refreshing body and soul. We parked our motorcycle in basecamp exactly under trekking way to Merapi from Turgo. Before that, we did some warm-up than ready to enjoy one of Allah’s wonderful creature!

warm-up is good for your healthy! 

The trekking tour is not as hard as my trekking to Merapi from Boyolali. One of my friend, Irna is smart, she borrowed binocular from her community in collage. By using this tools, we could watch some of the beautiful bird closely. It reminds me to activity of “bird watching” when I was in first semester. That was so diverting! During our trekking tour, we enjoy seeing forest, Parangtritis Beach, and also the diversity of the flora. Bandang also told us when we passed one of the river. It is Boyong River, one of thw river that is passed by materials during the last nearly eruption of Merapi in 2010.

Bird watching! :D

Than, Finally! After took the trekking for 90 minutes, our exhausting suddenly changed to cheerful. How can’t it be? The view was  soooooo amazing and awesome! Allah SWT blessed our journey with nice wheather. With background graveyard of Syekh Jumadil Qubro, Summit of Merapi Mountain looks so magnificient! Knowing exactly our exited, Bandang warn us not to kinking up a row. Before we took picture, we prayed for Syekh Jumadil Qubro through send AlFatihah.

Just FYI, this graveyard is often visited by the pilgrims who want to pray or in search of enlightenment. Every year, a ritual is held to commemorate the Syeikh. This ritual is held every 1 Syuro (month in Javanese calendar). The procession is done by parading the offerings from one springs to another and ended nearby the graveyard. Well, Indonesia is a country with its culture richest.

Later, satisfied with those pict, we came back to Turgo. Due to starved out, we took a rest and it was like having a picnic! Every one put outside their food and drink than shared together! Bandang says, its better we took the anorganic garbage in our way back home. We collected in plastic bag. Arrived in basecamp, we realize that we have collected so many garbage provable through a huge plastic bag! Dunno why but we gaze the garbage with relief.

Accidental picnic!

Than, we came back to Jogjakarta still with our lovely motorcycle.Combination of tired and happy make Lotek and Gado-gado as the perfect lunch. Along our way in trekking tour, secretly i wanna eat fruit ice so much! While the others got tired,  Irna, Puspa, Nawang and me continue our culinary journey. Stop at one of popularly fruit ice, Fruit ice “PK” in Kranggan, my “ngidam” was gone!
