Mount Andong — Local services in Central Java

Mount Andong is located in Magelang, Central Java which has a height of 1.7264 mdpl. I went there with a travelling community called Backpacker Jakarta Community (BPJ). This mountain is really suitable for the beginner hiker because i think the track isn't so extreme, yet the countour is mostly dominated by ladder like when u go hiking in Mount Prau via Patak Banteng.

It only took about 1.5 - 2 hours to get to the top of the mountain. I went there on weekend and really crowded like a market in the top of the mountain as you can see we almost didn't get the place to built our tent.

For the view from the top, I actually believe that this place has a good sunrise view, because we can see Mount Merbabu, Sindoro, Merapi,and Sumbing from here. But because at that time the mountain was covered by fog, so that I didn't get the beautiful sunrises. Here in my picture, I captured the grave of Ki Joko Pekik on the top of the mountain, this is make this mountain become so unique. So before u come here make sure that the weather is good, so u'll not miss te beautiful view of...

If other mountains only have one or two peaks, but Andong Mountain has four peaks, Peak of the Tomb, Peak of Soul,Peak of Andong, and Peak of Alap-alap. The highest peak is Andong Peak, and the place to camp is at the Peak of the Soul.

Andong Mountain is very friendly for beginner climbers. because this mountain only has a height of 1,726 meters above sea level and the hiking trail is not too difficult when compared with another mountain in Java Island. Andong Mountain also has an amazing view with many mountains surrounding it. Eastward you will be able to see Mount Merbabu, Mount Merapi and Mount Lawu, if the weather is very sunny, in the south you will be able to see Mount Tidar and Menoreh Mountains, and in the West you will be able to see Mount Sindoro, Mount Sumbing and Mount Prau, then in the north you will be able to see Mount Telomoyo and Mount Ungaran.

2019 habis lebaran bulan apa lupa, pas nanjak ke gunungnya pas libur weekend.1 kantor berembug untuk naik gunung Dan memilih gunung andong.. Saya berangkat hari malam jumat Dan sampai di basecamp ap lupa namnya sekitar jam 10 malam perjalanan dari purworejo , saya nanjak 6 orang pukul 11an malam kalo ga Salah agak lupa, trus di perjalanan tetapi 1 orang temanya dari teman saya muntah2 pas pertama nanjak di pos 1 Dan diantarkan oleh 2 orang teman saya sebut saja risky Dan sugeng kembali ke basemcp sedangkan saya Dan teman saya mas dedi Dan manager saya pak arifin menunggu di di tengah perjalanan, sekalian istirahat tengah malam itu, Dan waktu tengah malam jg waktu itu rame banget Yang mendaki juga, di basemcamp jg penuh jadi setiap orang pada nanjak Dan saling berinteraksi sesama pendaki, saling sapa. Setelah kurang lebih setengah jam menunggu riski Dan sugeng nanjak lagi Dan sudah sampai bareng kita langsung nanjak ke atas, singkat cerita kita senang2 saja bercanda2 tracknya jg banyak Yang lumayan terjal karna bnyk akar atau tanah Yang agak licin waktu itu, Dan setelah kurang lebih 4 jam kurang sampai puncak pukul kurang lebih 02.30 pagi, Dan sesudah di atas kita cari tempat untuk bikin tenda, Dan kita dapat tempat walaupun deket dengan jurang tempat dirikan tendanya karna tendanya itu hitunganya di bawah warung pertama Yang besar di puncak andong.. Bawanya kan ada tanah lumayan datar untuk bikin tenda tapi agak sempit jg soalnya disitu deket jurang. Jarak tenda Dan jurang kurang lebih setengah meter,, singkat cerita kita masak2 makan2 udh jadi tendanya jg trus tidur, Dan bangun pagi kurang lebih setengah 7 bangun trus jalan 2 muter2 bukit foto2 Dan pemandangannya waktu itu bagus bgt ada gunung Yang 2 keliatan ga tau nama gunungnya gunung apa. Pemandangan di sana itu indah bgt sampe2 pengin kesana lagi tapi blum tau kapan soalnya ga punya temen untuk nanjak gunung.. Udah keluqr pekerjaan jg jadi ya udah pisah2 semua hehe,, singkat cerita kita sampai basecamp jam setengah 12 Dan istirahat kurang lebih 1 jam Dan kita mandi2 kemas2 barang Dan pulang,,.. Terimakasih ini pengalaman saya waktu naik ke...
