Yesterday I again conveyed myself to take a long trip to the city of Takengon, actually there was no initial plan to take this trip, but I could not stand hearing the many rumors about a tourist spot that is currently very popular there, namely Bur Telege. Bur Telege is a tourist spot located at the top of Mount Telege in the city of Takengon, actually this place has been around for several years and was also popular, but about a year ago this place experienced a very significant decline in visitors, and now this place is back again creating a new experience for visitors who visit this place, so now this place is popular again and interestingly becomes one of the most popular tourist destinations this month, of course my curiosity about this place is very great so I decided to travel to the city of Takengon with the main purpose of visiting this mountain tour or what is often called Bur Telege.
The peak of Mount Bur Telege is at an altitude of 1,450 meters above sea level, but fortunately access to the top of the mountain can be passed by motorbike and car, so it is very helpful for visitors in terms of climbing. I visited this place yesterday, precisely on Saturday, and of course Saturday is not a holiday but still the visitors who visit this place are very crowded.
Seeing the full parking area made me immediately realize that the visitors who came to this place that day were very crowded, the car and motorbike parking areas were separated so that I could see and realize it. When we arrived at the parking area, we were immediately greeted by several monuments on the side of the road and in the middle of the parking area. If I didn't capture this moment, I would have missed so many beautiful moments.
On that day most of the visitors who came to this place were those who came with their families. Actually I really wanted to take pictures at the monument but because of the many visitors I had to queue, queuing is boring and I felt a little annoyed because I had to leave the monument immediately Lol
Beside the monument, I saw a lot of people gathering, and with curiosity I started to approach the crowd. It turned out that these people were looking at the beautiful natural scenery offered by this place.
To be honest, this was my first visit to this place, so when I arrived at this place I thought I had arrived at the Bur Telege tourist attraction, but after chatting for a while with the officer there, it turned out that I had only arrived at the parking area, and the tourist attraction was still at the top, and I had to climb again, but not by motorbike, on foot.
Knowing that, I did not waste any more time and immediately intended to climb to the top of the mountain, but before that we had to buy tickets first, and one ticket was priced at Rp. 10,000 in Indonesian currency per person, a very cheap ticket price for this very beautiful place.
After buying tickets, we immediately walked to the top, the road was very steep, but fortunately the road was good so even though it was raining, the peak of this mountain was still very possible to conquer.
I am a person who often does adventures and climbs, so for me this climbing route is very easy, but different from some of my friends, especially female friends, they feel that this route is very difficult so they have to rest often, for those who have never climbed, maybe this is a natural thing considering that their leg muscles will definitely feel very sore, so it's best not to force it and when the body feels like it can't take it anymore, rest is the most important thing.
During this climb we had to rest twice, and right at the time of the second rest we chose to rest in the area that had been provided there.
But from this resting place, we can see the natural scenery whose beauty can make us feel much better.
Curious about the sea below, I took the time to ask several people who were also climbing on this route, and their answers surprised me greatly, because it turned out that the sea was a tawar sea that was very popular in the city of Takengon. What surprised me was that on this climbing route the sea could still be seen, although not very clearly.
After resting enough, we immediately continued climbing, until we arrived at a place where there were several parks, and we also saw several people selling things there, but I was still convinced that the peak of the mountain was still at the top.
Some of my friends also took the time to buy ice cream first, and I also had time to ask the ice cream seller about the peak of this mountain, and it turned out to be true as I suspected, the peak was still above. However, in this place I could already see some parks and natural beauty that made me feel calmer and more satisfied.
At this point I felt doubtful but I chose the path on the left.
I don't know much about this park, and at that time I was a bit lazy to ask Lol. But what is certain is that in this park I had time to rest and enjoy all the beauty there.
In this park we can see many plants and flowers that have been decorated as attractively as possible, and from a distance we can also see several houses that are most likely inns, but I don't know for sure. In addition to the natural beauty in this park we can also see several game rides such as slides and swings, but the conditions in that place are rather dark because they are indeed covered by large trees.
And I kept walking while continuing to capture some of the beauty of this place, the goal being so that I wouldn't miss a single second of this pleasant moment.
What makes me curious is that in this park location there are several different roads, and like the road that is visible below the road I am walking on, but I don't know where these roads lead,and what I did at that time so as not to go the wrong way was to follow the other visitors.
I continued walking until I arrived at a building that looked like an abandoned stage, and when I arrived in this area I rested again because some of my friends were experiencing leg muscle cramps.
At that time I was increasingly doubtful to be able to reach the top, because some of my friends had already shown sad and uncertain faces, their legs were already cramping in the thighs and that made me a little panicked at that time, so rather than taking risks we chose to rest in this place first. And that's enough of my post on this occasion, and of course there are still many fun things that I experienced in this place, and yes I will share the experience in my next post.
Well, those are some pictures and stories from me in this post, I really hope that this post can provide entertainment for all of my friends. All of these pictures are purely my own, I took this picture using an Infinix 10 Pro cellphone and edited this picture using the Lightroom application.
