Masyaallah the place is really nice 💞 especially when I camped there, the weather at night was up to 16 + full of fog and it was really cold and cool... The route is also quite good, but if you can, don't go there at night, there is minimal lighting on the route and it is quite dangerous. Plus the cafe there, I think it's really cheap in such a tourist spot. Indomie+egg only 13,000 It's just that (-) there are so many flies there, it's like a fly plague, I swear 😭😭 Everything else is good and the toilets and prayer rooms are clean. Next time I'll go there again and hopefully there won't be any flies. . .

At first I wasn't sure about the gate, it was really short, there were markings there, tall cars couldn't get in, I think that was in 2020, I don't know if it's now, maybe it's better
