Step out slowly below the bright of the sun, enjoying the day without signal and busy of black berry messenger, whatsapp, email, or many kinds of business activity for along 3 days, seems like crazy. But I am enjoying it, really enjoy. Little bit crazy about adventourus, capturing landscape photography that will be your day so much fun.
Wake
up early in the morning, amazing that you see from the tent is fog
above the lake. Not fully awake, trying to give some really cold
water into your face. Bbbbrr.. maybe you dont want to take a bath,
and shower your body full of water. But just belive me, after that
you will feel neat, clean, and the temperature of your body will be
balance.
That
very nice morning I ever had in my life, seems like a dreaming that I
was in Ranu Kumbolo lake, in Semeru Mount. I always heard the beauty
story of this lake from my mountaineer mate. Semeru Mount is located
in Lumajang city and Probolinggo city in East Java. Not in Malang
city, but actually people always call it in Malang, because of its
easier transportation to reach it. Semeru Mount only has one track to
hike, from Ranu Pani Village.
Exploring
it is a must. Don't wate your time only near your tent area, just
move just discover something that you never see everyday in your
life. Focus on condition and mountain atmosphere. I walked alone to
explore this place, like talking into myself. Not far from the lake,
you will find valley continuously that cover the savana. Really
beautiful with blue sky. I guarantee that you want to sleep here, and
just see how the cloud is moving on, while the bird is singing.
Perfectly combination of nature song.
I
love this place so much, because you like it your own world without
nobody disturb. For shooting landscaping of this place, better for
hike up to peak of the valley. You will see amazing Ranu Kumbolo is.
Close your eyes below the tree, trying to hearing the sounds of wind,
abdakadabraa.. you will sleep. AVTECH I heard made a big event for
1800 mountaineers but as we have known that the maximum mountaineers
that allow just 500 mountaineers. Many general nature toilet aka
“jamban jamaah” above the grass, so step out carefully or your
shoes will have a disturb odor.
The
end of this way in Savana, straight forward to Ayek-Ayek track,
quickly you will reach to Ranu Pani village the starting point place
of hike. This track “PORTER” always use it, because can save time
up to 2 hour better than hike in legal track. As you know the
'PORTER” brings many kinds of stuff from cooking equipments, until
food and drink. People pay them to bring the stuff and sometimes
cooking.
Curious
to know deeply about this lake, why not trying to move around near
the lake with slowly move and shoot and every details of Ranu Kumbolo
Lake. Spending 1 hours and half. Sometime you should climb the tree,
and follow the way with its high grass. That signed so long time
people never across this way. Some point you should open your shoes
so then not wet, climb, hike, and use your shoe again.
Cross
of Ranu Kumbolo Part near Tanjakan Cinta you will see that Ranu
Kumbolo be a village for mountaineers especially if the night comes
with lamp, will be making special moment and romantic of night and
also the milky way above the sky. When the sky and cloud is clear,
sometimes you will see that star falls “bintang jatuh”. Nice
moments that you spend your time, your day, and your night here with
your special mate. To be honest someday I will go to honyemoon again
to this place with my husband.
Step
out your walk, don't try to step human's puff a.k.a (kotoran manusia
or eek) :D . Because in Ranu Kumbolo near the porter's room, many
surprise from human's puff. Aha also like a night market here, not
recommend if you want sleep well and calm also peace. Everyone is
laughing, and singing so loudly like this place are their home, but
we should realize this is public place. For taking water just for
cooking and drinking, move far from the land near the lake, but don't
forget to open your shoe. So we are keeping the balancing for life of
its nature. As we are known that Ranu Kumbolo is the one and only
source water for mountaineer to drink . So we have to make sure it
cleans and safe to drink.
Here
the rules that you don't do in Ranu Kumbolo :
- DON'T CATCH UP THE FISH OR FISHING
- DON'T TAKE A BATH AND CLEAN UP BODY (like using shampoo, tooth paste, scrub,etc)
- DON'T SWIM
- DON'T WASTE YOUR RUBBISH INTO WATER
- DON'T WASH YOUR CLOTHES BY DETERGENT
- DON'T WASH YOUR FOOD AND DRINK IN LAKE, AND INTO WATER
- STAY AWAY MINIMUM 10 METERS TO CLEAN UP YOUR FOOD AND DRINK.
Stragazing is a best way
yo spend your night before sleep. Like talk to God, that was the most
precious night for me. Thinking what we life for, what the false from
our daily life, and maybe others reflection way. To be honest I want
to repeat its night again. Far from diturbance of city's busy, just
me and nature. Someday enough just hike and camp here. Peak is not
the direction. But Peace is the direction.
indahnya memancing di danau surga itu.... hhhmmm
