I didn't go anywhere on this summer holiday but went trekking on mt. Sumbing. We did spent 4 days on this journey.
Day 1: Went to Lebak Bulus bus station and because of the lack of bus, we went to Purwokerto instead of Wonosobo which is closer to the basecamp. So it took about 12 hours from Jakarta to Purwokerto. it took longer time on our way there because we had stuck several times.
Day 2: Just right after we arrived at Purwokerto, we caught a bus to Semarang which passed Garung village, the basecamp of mt. Sumbing. From Purwokerto to Wonosobo is about 3 hours or so. Then we had a little break and lunch at the basecamp. Some of us repacked their things. Oh, and FYI there's no water on the way to the summit so you got to bring ur own water. I suggest just buy some bottles of mineral water. And then we started our trekking to mt. Sumbing. From basecamp to the 1st Pos took about 2,5 hours. We passed the vast farmland which consists of tobacco and another vegetables. And right after that there's a secondary type forest. No high and close trees, just some medium height trees and bushes. Along the way from the 1st to the 2nd pos is that forest. From the 1st to 2nd pos it took about 1,5 hours. Then you can go camping there because there's no more campsite after the 2nd pos.
Day 3: we went to the summit at 6.48 in the morning. arrived at the pestan (pasar setan or the market of the devils) at 8.55, 10.42 at Pasar Watu and 11.55 at Watu Kotak. We did reached the summit at 14.27 and it was so fantastic. The scenery is a total awe. Then we went back to the camp.
Day 4: went down to the basecamp and I arrived at 10.28 while the others were arriving separately until 11.30 or so. The we caught a bus to the Wonosobo bus station and went back to Jakarta. :)
