In 2023, we will depart together via Sembalun, non-porter, non-guide, the nature is beautiful but it is difficult to refill drinking water. Postal checks for rubbish are very strict but there is also a lot of rubbish on top. lots of foreign tourists, local residents are good at English and also good at cooking.

The most beautiful mountain I have ever visited, from the first ascent to the descent it never ceased to amaze me with its beauty but there are lots of mines on the savanna track before heading one to 3 times to the injek and be careful, also in Sagara Anak there are lots of mines and rubbish also scattered around
