Hesti Purwadinata Shares Exciting Experience Climbing Mount Lawu, Take A Peek At 5 Portraits

JAKARTA – Hesti Purwadinata shared her 'exciting' experience climbing Mount Lawu on her social media, Instagram. The journey to get to the highest point of the mountain located in Central Java is not only exciting, but also a mystical experience.

In the middle of last month, January, Hesti and her husband, Edo Borne, climbed the mountain. Complete equipment preparation, as well as physical readiness, said Hesti, were also prepared. The following is a portrait and his story of climbing step by step the mountain with a height of 3,265 meters above sea level.

This is Hesti's first time claiming a mountain. He admitted that this first experience did not get a 'bonus'. The reason is, some say that climbing the mountain to reach the top is a bonus.

For novice climbers, Mount Lawu is not easy. Hesti wrote about her experience in the Instagram account description. He wrote that although everything had been prepared, including logistics, physical and mental conditions, something unexpected happened.

"No regrets, we really enjoyed this trip, rainstorms, cold to the bone, the wind sounds like a trumpet, which climbs on Friday night and ......," wrote Hesti.

The experience of walking on an uphill plain with rain, cold to the bone, and the wind blowing hard is quite impressive. He added a 'mystical' day when he climbed the mountain, namely Friday night.

Hesti and her husband and a team of 9 people climbed to a height of 2,800 meters above sea level. This is the last post of Mount Lawu, which is the 4th post. Even though he didn't reach the top, Hesti was proud of himself for having climbed one of the 15 highest mountains in Indonesia.

What 'mystical' experiences did Hesti and her team have?

Hesti, her husband, and the team rested at Pos 4 because the weather and conditions of the climbers did not allow them to continue their journey to the top. The sound of the gamelan he played was so mystical. The reason is, at this altitude it is far from residential areas. In fact, he also told of a scary dream being scolded by a 'gatekeeper' father for resting in a tight location. Plus when urinating, he met the figure of a small child to a woman he did not know.

Hesti's upload about her experience climbing Mount Lawu received comments from netizens. Because he talked about mystical things, the netizen wrote, "It's okay, ma'am, because Lawu has his own way of getting to know him. Come back to Lawu, Lawu who is said to be mystical is actually romantic."
