Don’t forget to take geared-shoes and flashlight when hike Sikunir because the track was very dark without any lighting with many turning points, muddy and many holes on it. You have to walk for about 30 minutes so it is better to go so early in the morning around 3 or 4 am.

The view from the top of the mountain was amazing. When the weather is clear, you will be able to watch a series of multiple peaks that lie in sight, yeah Mount Sindoro, Sumbing, Merbabu, Merapi and Ungaran would be seen from Sikunir.
