Gunung Guntur, Garut
A Beauty Worth Conquering – Gunung Guntur, Garut
Gunung Guntur or Gunung Gede, as better known by locals is located in
Garut – the home to several mountains with extraordinary views. Compared to
other mountains in the area, Gunung Guntur is not particularly magnificent in
height, but it does require a certain lengthy process and effort to reach. However,
it doesn’t stop many visitors from making it a new favorite camping site in
Garut. Dubbed by mountain climbing communities as the Rinjani of Garut, Gunung
Guntur certainly has what it takes to be referred to the famously beautiful
Lombok volcanic mountain. Other than the challenging track, it also has its own
valleys, waterfalls, rivers, craters, and the panoramic sight of surrounding
mountains. Eventually, all hard work pays off as this is one view definitely
worth fighting for.

Getting there : For starters, you’ll need to take the bus heading
to Garut or Singaparna which stops at Tanjung gas station. Once you alight, hop
on one of the many passing trucks heading upwards to its climbing post, both
truck driver and post guard require only a small fee ( less than Rp 10.000 or
USD $1) . Once you’ve passed the post, it is another 45 minutes off-road ride
and a long walk to finally climb to the top of Gunung Guntur.
