For those who like nature tourism in Kuningan Regency, you must be familiar with the name Cigowong, which is the first climbing post to Mount Ciremai via the Ipukan / Palutungan route. The road is fairly easy and can be reached within 1 to 2 hours. Along the way, we can meet the habitat of the Surili and Lutung Jawa. But remember, don’t feed them, guys, so we don’t change their habits of naturally foraging in the wild. Just enjoy the trip, take as many photos as you can, and don’t leave any trash behind. Eeeh, don’t forget to buy a ticket for the Cigowong Trekking, which is only 25k Rupiah.
Together with my beloved partner, @Annisa1208 , we departed from the Palutungan climbing gate around 7.30 am last Sunday, after buying two trekking tickets to Cigowong for 25 thousand rupiah per person. The morning air is still fresh and a little breezy. Slowly, we passed through the pine forest in the Ipukan camp area. The sound of birds chirping accompanied our journey. Until we arrived at the Surili Habitat, when suddenly we heard the sound of a wild boar snorting. Immediately we climbed the nearest tree and waited for the pig to pass. Luckily, the pigs didn’t show up and we continued on our way.
Just crossing the dry river, Annisa was surprised by a snake that crossed right in front of her. I calmed her down, and asked her to keep going and stay alert. Finally, at 9.15 am, we arrived at our destination, namely Pos 1 Cigowong. We rested at Warung Pak Nana, while ordering fried egg noodles and hot tea. It’s really nice to be able to enjoy those hot food and drinks after the journey. The natural atmosphere here definitely makes us feel at home.
Finally, after enjoying the atmosphere and taking enough photos, we decided to go back down. It’s been a fun trip for both of us. Will you follow in our footsteps?
