Trip to Pdg - BktTinggi (G.Marapi) Dec 2008
This is our 2nd trip to Padang-Bukit Tinggi. 1st trip was for sightseeing & shopping purposes only - of course.. :P

This time around, 4 org je yg pergi..Me, My Hubby, Ab.Hakeem and Kak Puziah. Our main objective is to climb Mount Marapi, which we achieved - successfully..Alhamdulillah..

Kami jalan santai.. 6 jam mendaki baru sampai ke campsite. Biasanya Dec nih, musim hujan..Tapi, nasib kami agak baik, sbb hujan sebelah petang, itupun masa kami nak set-up khemah di Cadas. W/pon hujan tak lama, dalam 1 jam shj, tapi,..sejuk nya..Masya Allah... dlm khemah 12 C.. kat luar angin bertiup..lagi sejukkk.. gigilgigilgigil

Esoknya, cuaca terang masa kami mula naik ke puncak. Before that, kami sashin lagi..From our campsite, bleh nmpk puncak G.Singgalang, G.Tanikek & G.Talamau.

Pokok2 makin renek, & lumut pon banyak. Makin hampir ke puncak, jlnnya dari batu2 larva - kaler hitam. Kena hati2 pilih batu utk dipijak.. Atas G.Marapi, ada dataran rata seluas ~2 pdg bola & ada kawah yg sentiasa kluarkan asap.. kuat bau sulfur yg busuk tuh. Ada 2 lagi kawah yg inactive. Puncak G.Marapi kecik je.

Guide kami kata,tak jauh dari puncak, ada lembah yg byk tumbuhan renek & pokok2 bunga yg hanya tumbuh di ketinggian > 2600m dpl. Kami tak pergi ke sana, since it will take another 2 hrs hiking (to-fro) to reach the park. Nnti offset pula plan kami yg lain..hehehe

G.Marapi ni mmg ramai org daki. Kami selisih dgn ramai org dlm pendakian nih, antaranya from US, Germany, Canada dan anak2 muda tempatan. Saban minggu mesti ader org naik punya lah..

Anyways, pendakian nih agak mudah sbb treknya landai. Punca air je yg kurang. Last water point , 4jam dari campsite. So, kena lah pikul air.. Tak rugi naik..the view is spectacular!
