The First Climber Gal to Sikunir Dieng

First of all, lemme say and take my breathe away...
Jadi, aku, pacarku dan temen-temen pacar setelah lebaran kemarin (lupa tanggalnya) decided to go to Sikunir. I've heard there's somethin' called as Golden Sunrise on top of the hill, you can get there by 20 minutes walking, easy track only about 800m it is not that hard either, but for me as the newbie of mountain fella, it was quite difficult!
Mari bicarakan budget dulu yaaah! Kami pergi kesana pakai mobil pacar yang kebetulan free cuma patungan bensin doang, dan kebetulannya lagi uang ku dan uang pacar jadi satu dan uang di pegang pacar. Aku pribadi bawa uang ga lebih dari 50 ribu, buat beli tissue basah + tissue basah buat muka + kantung plastik + minyak angin + bandage + betadine + and a little sandwich for starting a day. Semua itu habis sekitar 30 - 40 ribuan, sedikit lupa sih. Saran pacar, aku harus memprovide kebutuhanku sendiri dan harus mandiri, because i was the only girl on the road.
Pacar bawa uang sekitar 300 - 400 ribuan. Rinciannya :
1. Bensin pulang pergi itu beli 4 - 5 kali dari proses intip-intip ada yang beli bensin 50 & 100. Let's just say we spent money for gas like Rp 400.000 and it was divided on seven, so each person had got to pay about Rp 57.000 maybe more maybe less
2. We had lunch in Dieng two times, I spent about Rp 13.000 + Rp 21.000, boyfriend spent about Rp 20.000 + Rp 17.000. Be sure you're eating when people crowded there, it's kinda sign the restaurant is good
3. And our camp equipment, we rented the other day I don't really know how much it costs and where the boys rented but boyfriend were rented a sleeping bag for me and there was one medium tent, one bigger tent, flaming spray + stove tools, a few tea cups, spoons, meals (mi instan, telur and apapun yang bisa dimasak cepet, mau bawa nasi ya monggo sih kalo jumlah hikers nya banyak)
4. Waters are important! You will never enough bring only five bottles of water, it needed more. In our case, first when we left home we had about six bottles, in the middle of the road we grabbed another six, and continued untill we couldn't find Indomaret / Alfamart
5. Our trick, when we arrives on the gate of Dieng, someone or two were hiding over the blanket or our backpacks to cut the entry pass cost. Jumlah uang yang harus dikeluarkan juga ga pasti mungkin tergantung mood bapak penjaga gerbang
6. Please prepare your self for some unpredictable cases such as ban kempes, ban bocor, atau masalah yang lain. Aku pribadi masalah yang sedikit merepotkan adalah aku selalu mabuk saat perjalanan. Dan kemarin hal tidak terduga nya adalah tiba-tiba baterei lampu senter ku mati dan harus beli baterei yang baru, dan kelupaan beli lotion anti nyamuk, turns out di atas bukit ga ada nyamuk.

Budget sudah sekarang let's talk about another basic :
1. Bawa selimut/pakai sweater/hoodie/sekalian winter jacket nya aja kalo ada yang punya. Who knows if the weather is not that friendly and what?
2. Pakai pakaian yang aman, nyaman, sudah dicuci kan ada tuh laki yang jarang nyuci bajunya, dan kalo bisa sih jangan pakai jin. Disaranin sama bapak pemandu disana, cobalah pakai celana panjang and not jeans! Anything goes
3. Alat mandi nya jangan lupa. Handuk, sabun, shampoo, in our case aku bebarengan sama pacar jadi semua jadi satu
4. Yang bawa kamera gede, kalo bisa bawa baterei cadangan buat taking pictures, kalo aku kemarin pribadi udah bawa camera pocket jadi yang master camera disimpen buat golden sunrisenya sendiri, dan jangan lupa bawa tripod kalo ga ada tukang motoin gratis
5. Bawa suplemen macam madu, vitamin c dosis tinggi, atau minuman apalah itu yang bisa meningkatkan stamina, POWER HORSE juga oke kok kalo ada yang bisa dapet di Indonesia. Air juga jangan lupa
6. Karena di bukit gak ada tempat buat pup ata pipis jadi sebelum perjalanan pup atau pipis dulu ya
7. Aduh udah deh kayaknya ini aja.

I hope you guys enjoy my post and I pray for all of you to get the chance to see golden sunrise in Dieng, Sikunir. Trust me one you see it you will be addicted, one you visit it the more you want to come back.
