Everything is fine. We were picked up on time, delivered to the place, at the foot of the mountain we were met by guides, who began our ascent with positivity and smiles. The place itself is wow. We really liked it, and there were many toilets on the way to the summit. The only thing is that we weren't asked if we wanted to go down to the lake; everyone was heading there, and only when we ended up in the cloud of toxic fumes in the dark, were we shown that there was a lake in front of us, and blue lights could be seen in that direction. Then we went back up to the summit in the dark. Because the pace was quite fast, only my husband and I managed to quickly reach the summit by dawn, while the others couldn't make it. They missed the pink hues in the sky, which appeared a little later.

It was an amazing journey! The road took most of the energy, even though we traveled as a small group in a comfortable car, the climb itself did not seem too difficult to me, even with my weak physical condition! For the first time, I saw so many rest points on the route - you can sit, visit a WC, and buy some water there. For those who are very tired but still want to see the beauty, there are 'taxi drivers' - guys with stretchers who will carry you to the top for a certain fee. Our instructor and guide was Aziz. He is very pleasant and experienced, speaks excellent English, and also takes good photos! After the hike, we were taken to a picturesque little restaurant with very reasonable prices and delicious food. I am very satisfied! This trip was worth the money, time, and effort!

The trip was incredible. The organizers thought of everything down to the smallest detail. The best and fastest driver, Hendra, and the guide, Sigid, were simply magical—caring, interested, and pleasant to talk to. And the group on our trip was really great. Guys, thank you! I recommend it to everyone!
