The trail is very easy to navigate, suitable for beginners. The views are excellent on clear days, although the summit is still surrounded by trees and somewhat obscured. The path is clear and easy to follow.

I want to go there again, but I'm not satisfied yet because I haven't reached Puncak Rama. The trail from Sunan Ibu to Puncak Patuha is still quite pleasant for beginners.

It's really great to go to Mt Patuha, besides the gentle path, it's really suitable for those who are new to the peak. At the beginning of the track, we immediately pass through a tea plantation that is nice to see, then from post 3 Kataji, a great point for photos, we can see other mountains directly, then we walk again into the forest, well there we can see beautiful flowers, then we arrive at the peak of Sunan Ibu (POINT SUNRISE) we are immediately presented with a view of the white crater which is certainly very beautiful. then we walk again to the peak of Patuha (here it is a bit difficult, access to the peak of Patuha besides the road is a bit small, if we don't concentrate we can fall into the dead forest, especially when the fog descends) right on the way to the peak of Patuha we pass through a dead forest that is nice to see, well we have arrived at the roof of Bandung Raya (Patuha) even though the peak is a bit covered by trees. I'm really happy to be able to mount Patuha. young people wander, old people tell stories
