Journey through the tea gardens just short, about 30 minutes by circumstances arid and dusty track. After that just entered the forest shade. Outside the rainy season, the soil still looks barren and dusty when passed.

Shelter 1 can be achieved from the TV transmitter station takes about 50 minutes. Then add about 50 minutes to get to the  Shelter  2. It takes about Shelter  2 to  Shelter  3 is 1.5 times longer than the travel time of P Shelter  1 to  Shelter  2. Because the terrain is steep, the contours of the meeting,  Shelter  1,  Shelter 2, and H Shelter  3 is only able to accommodate one to two tents , While in  Shelter 4 there is more space that can accommodate up to three tents.

Before starting the climb, you should fill the water supplies in TV transmitter stations. In the long dry season, climbers can not fill the water supplies in the transmitting station because the workers at the transmitter station also had to commute to the village to refill the water they need. So to be sure, should be filled prior to the transmitting station, precisely in the last village: Village Cisumur or Dayeuh Manggung Cikoneng Village, District Cilawu.

View Sunrise Mount Sindoro and shadow MountSumbing of PEAK Mount Sumbing












Climbing lanes Garung
  To climb the mountain Sumbing via a hiking trail Garung there are 2 paths can be passed through the ridge to the left referred to as the old line while the right side of the ridge is often called a new path. in general a lot of climbers who pass through the ridge right hand because it is very easy.
  Of the three hiking trails, paths through the hamlet Garung is the path most in demand by the climbers because this track has a lot of safety instructions and the terrain is more secure and also travel time by using this path is the fastest compared with two other lines. 

From Hamlet Garung climbers can start the climb with two alternative paths that climb the old paths and new paths. No differences were specific to the second line was only the direction and the angle of the climb just a little different. If using the old track then it will be very heavy because around (seduplak roto) or fifth kilometer ascent climbers will find terrain climbing a slope of about 70 degrees, so that when the rains would be very dangerous to climb. Unlike the new path that lies to the west of the old track, climbing terrain is not as heavy as the old path only when using this path many climbers will pass through a small hilly area so it will feel longer.

Here are the posts Mount Sumbing :
Old paths
* Base camp (Post supervision) (Km I) 1455 M
* The fields of agriculture (tobacco) (Km II)
* Malim (Km III)
* Genus (IV Km) 2240 M
* Seduplak Roto (Km V)
* Pestan 2437 M
* Pasar Watu (Watu Box) 2763 M
* Land White (KM VI)
* Peak Dead-end 3371 M
* Peak crater (KM VII)  

New Path
* Base Camp (Km I)
* Agricultural fields (Km II)
* Kedung (Bosweisen) (Km III)
* Gatakan (IV Km) 2240 M (Heading 2)
* Krendegan 

Path leading to the top after the farm is rocky path. The stone path known prone to landslides so climbers are advised to be careful through this route. After passing through this rocky path, the hikers will be able to reach the top dead-end (3371 M). of these peaks climbers must surround the trail to go down to the crater of the mount sumbing.

From the top of a dead-end in the morning can see the magnificent mountain climbers Sindoro located right in front of the eyes and the beauty of Mount Slamet (3428 Mdpl) 110 Km west Sumbing. 

Travel time required climbers to reach the summit is between 8 to 15 hours depending on weather and physical climbers. Even then using Garung path that includes the fastest among other lines. If the climber will try parakan cepit path or paths kalikajar then a trip to the summit could take a asmapi two-day trip because the track ramps and signs to the summit not much Garung path.

In addition to the view looking off in all directions during the ascent, the mountain also has a crater that could descend. Basically overgrown by grass and surrounded by rocky cliffs. This location can also be used as a place to sleep. Find a place some distance from the pit crater where the discharge of sulfur fumes.

The mountain is composed of three mountains namely Mt. Gendol, Bald Mountain, and Mount Ungaran. The highest peak of Mount Ungaran has a height of 2,050 meters above sea level.

Mount Ungaran has three lanes climb to the top of the lane Gedung Songo temple, Jimbaran lanes, and lane Medini. Three of these pathways are often in the climbers passed Gedung Songo temple lanes and paths Jimbaran.

  

To reach the summit of Mount Ungaran takes about 5 hours of Gedung Songo temple, or about 8 hours of Jimbaran. This mountain can be climbed from Jimbaran - Ungaran, or from the garden tour Gedung Songo Temple - Ambarawa. For the instigators of the outdoors from West Java and East Java could use ground transportation train, from West Java Tawang Jaya train ride from the station to the station Poncol Senen Jakarta - Semarang. East Java took the train from the station towards Poncol Semarang Turi market. Arriving at the station Poncol we ride the city bus to the terminal Terboyo, followed by a small bus Bandungan majors.

Mount Ungaran has an altitude of 2050 meters above sea level, the landscape is still covered with dense forest and there are many tourist attractions, as well as sacred places that are worth visiting. Panorama at the top of Mount Ungaran we witnessed Merbabu very sturdy and large when viewed at the summit of Mount Ungaran.

  

Transport

From Terboyo find bus termina majors Bandungan down in the market jimbaran 10,000Rupiah 

a journey of approximately 45 minutes.

  Motorcycle taxi from jimbaran market to climb Pos I rose 15,000 Rupiah.

Access Path Jimbaran
Heading up roses proceed back with trekking to the Post II or Post Shadow. Roses from post we can see Mount Merbabu and Mount Telomoyo. We use as much as possible the atmosphere of this charming panorama with documenting every moment of good.

We started the journey early hallmark of mountainous forest area with little vegetation that covered so that the air is quite cool. Then began to climb the terrain and vegetation began to open, so when the weather is dry it becomes dusty terrain. Proceed with field trips that start entering the forest back with a lot of trees so that the atmosphere becomes cooler, the middle of our trip across the river and there is a small waterfall so that the atmosphere becomes cooler. The sound of water and the breeze is so cool and peaceful the atmosphere of the place is still covered with large trees mountain Ungaran.

From waterfalls journey continued walking towards the right with the track uphill and back slightly sloping. Crossing the forest area as far as 1 km will take us to the plantation Sikendil. At the location of a coffee plantation, there are huts and water reservoirs that resembles a swimming pool.

There is a path branching, the left is towards the top being straight is the path to Babadan, Ungaran. Road slightly uphill until then leveled off towards the junction which is the path to the top. Just down the road is flat, we get dipertigaan the kendil, a branching on the border between coffee plantations

PEAK GN.UNGARAN
From the hamlet Promasan ascent continued with along the path amidst tea plantations. In the end we'll see a tea plantation forests are not so dense with mountains and pine lamtoro decorate it. Next we will find the path meeting, take a straight line because the left lane is a lane of the junction. If we do not go down to the village but directly Promasan summit of the junction, when he met this branching take the left lane. Normal mileage of the junction and the village Promasan to the summit is 2 hours with rugged terrain, full of stones, and sometimes we had to climb rocks 1 meter high.   

Half way or approximately 1 hour walk, we will see the rock cliffs elevation of about 20 meters and decorated by savannas with rare trees. This area is very hot in the daytime and blustery due to the absence of protective trees growing, mostly reeds that we can meet here up to the peak.

  

It is recommended that climb to the top at night or early in the morning, in addition to safe drinking water also to avoid the scorching sun can burn the skin. Here pathway requires high vigilance, because we passed a large rocky ridge steep and slippery. We take a path that circled the cliffs.

If you've reached a small forest flanked by two ridge means Ungaran mountain top is near. Above the forest we can see steep cliffs, walking trails along the central part of the cliff to the left and then turn right and finally came to the top of Ungaran elevation 2050 meters above sea level and is decorated by a monument built by the military battalion of Semarang. From the summit of Mount Ungaran we can see MountSumbing, MountSindoro in the southwest.
