Galunggung mountain is an active volcano in West Java. It stands approximately 20 km from Tasikmalaya city. Peak of Galunggung is 2168 meters above sea level. Last eruption was in 1982. Nowadays, Galunggung is a most visited place in Tasik. Ticket price is IDR 6500 per person and IDR 2000 for car entry.
Galunggung can be reached by car and motorcycle, but not by the bus, the terrain is bad, it is worse in wet season. Before climb to the peak, vehicles must be parked at parking lot.
From now on, the journey begin.
It is 620 stairs separated this sign and the peak of Galunggung. Prepare the water, mental, and your legs. But, the view is spectacular while we climb the stairs.
The picture is taken from second "rest area", there are 3 "rest area" on the way to the peak. After 30 minutes of climbing, the crater of Galunggung show its face.
The domination of green color give the tourist a relax feeling, peace, and freshness. The peak is like can touch the cloud. This view is match with the 620 stairs that have to be climbed. After climbing, of course will feel hungry, the choice is always meatballs in Tasik. One set menu of meatballs with noodles cost us IDR 15000. This is the picture of Galunggung meatballs.
Warm soup of the meatballs, hot tea, and little snack is the most suitable. More over, when go back from the peak, light rain is accompanying. If the weather is clear, it is good to visit the hot spring near the entry gate of Galunggung. They said it is hot spring that surround by trees.
Galunggung mountain and its surrounding can be good for weekend gateway. Refreshing from routines, little sport (climb the stairs), and of course take the picture for collection :p
