" Sunset From the Top of Tangkiling Hill"

Holiday second semester last time, before my friend returned to his hometown she invited me to tour to Tangkiling hill. At first I was hesitant to join because I thought we were just the two of us, but after hearing the persuasion and he turned out to bring another friend, I finally decided to join. However, I also brought my cousin, who happened to be not going home at that time. We also agreed to use two motorbikes to go to Tangkiling hill, and take turns piggybacking. Because this is my first experience to go climbing a hill, it must be very tiring.

Friday morning around 10:00 am, I and three of my friends left from boarding house where I headed for Tangkiling. The journey takes approximately 2-hours by motorcycle. Because it was Friday, so we decided to stop for a while at a food stall, while waiting for Friday prayers to finish. After the Friday prayer was over, we immediately drove to the registration place for climbing the Pergasingan Hill. The registration fee for one person is IDR 10,000 and the motorbike maintenance fee is 5,000 per-motor. After the registration business is complete, the registration officer then gives us a trash bag to take our trash, my friend asked the officer, "what is this trash bag for?", and the officer said “If you want to throw trash, you have to throw it in this trash bag, if you get caught littering you will be fined". Yeah, it's one of the best ways to keep the hill clean and to educate people about how important the cleanliness is. But, I also saw quite a lot of rubbish on my way climbing to the hill.

Finally, we also began our climb to the top of Tangkiling hill which is about 500 m high. The first track we had to take was the stairs that were quite uphill. This track is easy to pass because the terrain is still flat. About 10 minutes later, we began to enter the second track. The second track is very challenging and quite draining because the road continues uphill and without stairs to climb. Here we must be careful when walking, because if not then the consequences will be fatal. As a home-based child whose job is only to lie down and work on college assignments, climbing hills with a height of approximately 500 m, is something unique that I am quite or very tiring for me, because this is the first time for me to climb. Not infrequently I ask my cousin to rest for a while to let go of fatigue, and the results of my friends and their friends first to the top of the hill. Finally, after about 1-hour hike, we arrived at the top of Tangkiling hill. Finally! The atmosphere at the peak of the time was quite quiet, there were only us. Well, maybe it's because of Friday.

The view from the top of this hill is very beautiful. In front of us, we can see the appearance of the beautiful city of Palangkaraya. Really beautiful scenery. We then started taking photos from the summit to be captured. After that we sat relaxed enjoying the evening atmosphere at the top of Bukit Tangkiling. The dawn has returned to his bed and leaves an orange sky that is so beautiful to the eye. What a beautiful sky.

The clock had shown at around 6 pm, and we immediately packed all of our equipment and started heading home, with going through the same path. We walked home feeling happy and happy and satisfied.
