You will go through a dense tropical forest area along the beginning of the trip.
This view is the main attraction so that climbers choose this route.

The location is in Sukabumi, West Java.
This route is the longest route to the top of Mount Gede Pangrango.
However, for those of you who don’t understand, beginners or don’t know the information about this path, it is advisable not to go through it because of the extreme terrain.
In addition, climbers will encounter pacet, a type of leech that usually sucks blood from the body.
Your feet may become filled with picks when climbing this route.
Even though you experience obstacles, you are still treated to enchanting natural scenery along the path.
You can see the rivers and forests that are still natural.
