Midnight Hike

Actually, this was the most challenging trip that I ever had. It happened some while ago when we decided to make a night trip to Takengon. A highland territory that was ready to shake your body with the cold air. The road was quiet and we had to stop in several spots to avoid the freezing air. It was a new experience for me to have such a wonderful trip as I planned to go hiking soon we hit our destination. Lancok Leweng was the mountain that we wanted to hike in the midnight time.

After having a long way up and down the mountain road, we finally arrived. Taking a short rest at the family house while packing the stuff for the hiking requirement. A big bag contained a tent, food, other necessary things that could help us on top of the mountain. The track was unfriendly, slippery which made us stop for couple times.

We were surrounded by dark, the torchlight was the source that lightened up our journey. We managed to get back on the track which frequently made us trouble to go back on. We strived to find the main track after taking a fresh breath.

After struggling with the muddy track, we finally hit the top. It took around two hours to get the spot. The tent was set up, and outside of the tent, some of my friends also set fire to get us warm from the cold air. The clock said that we only left two hours till we met dawn. In the morning time, the Takengon city vastly exposed its beauty from above.

From the top, the Lut Tawar came with its beauty. The lake with its legend has become the most attractive spot in this highland territory, Takengon, Aceh Indonesia.
