Mountain Suitable for Amateur Climber
To get to Mount Telomoyo, you must go to Pandean Village, Ngablak District, Magelang Regency. It is not difficult to find Pandesan Village because it is still in the same direction as Ngablak Market. Climbing Mount Telomoyo is not as difficult as climbing most mountains. Because, there are already roads that can be passed by vehicles to reach the top.
But, the vehicle used must be prime, because the road is not 100% smooth. There are some parts of the road that are damaged. It's better to use a motorbike instead of a car, because the path is narrow. By using a motorcycle, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery around. If you use a motorcycle, you only need between 15-30 minutes to get to the top. If you walk, the time spent can be about 2 hours.
Good For Enjoying Sunrise And Sunset
The best time to travel on Mount Telomoyo is in the morning or evening. When enjoying the sunrise or sunset there, guaranteed tiredness as well as stress disappear instantly. Hence, this mountain is more often referred to as Mount Transmitter rather than Mount Telomoyo.
