However, few are ever to feel comfortable walking from the location of this palace and trekking up the hill Boko at dawn and watch the dawn on the eastern horizon.

To enjoy it, you can register as a participant Boko Trekking in Taman Wisata Candi. Once registered, you get a tour package tour of Queen Boko Palace, enjoy the view of sunset at Plaza Andrawina (one of the palace hall), spent the night in tents and trekking up the hill Boko see sunrise and see the temples in the complex of Ratu Boko. Certainly a fun tour package at the end of the year.

The most interesting journey, which is trekking to and enjoy the sunrise, usually begins around 3 o’clock in the morning. A very appropriate time to begin the journey to see the dawn at the beginning of the year because certainly in the hours before you will be more preoccupied with ritual trumpet as a sign of the new year has arrived. Make sure your physical condition is unable to walk after a sleepless night.

Medan to Bukit Tugel, where you will enjoy one of the most beautiful sunrise, actually not so difficult that you do not need to worry. In addition, the tour organizers have provided a guide that will facilitate your new adventure up the hill first. However, some personal equipment such as field clothes, helmets, mountain boots, flashlights and medicine still need to be prepared.

During the journey to Bukit Tugel, you are less able to see the natural scenery around because it was still dark, but you can hear the music of serene nature. If sensitive, you can even find out when the music of nature that began to change late morning, the sound of insects and night birds land which was originally dominated  replaced by chicken, sparrow’s voice and little noise generated by the activities of local people.

The trip to Bukit Tugel exhausting will end just before dawn so you can rest for a moment to wait for the sun appeared. As I sit, sipping coffee or hot tea brought from the tent and talk with friends would be wonderful. Speaking about the plan one year ahead in their lives and opening up to input would be very meaningful.

Panorama sky will look amazing when waiting for dawn. Black night will be replaced with shades of yellow to red. The longer, yellow would signify the dominant high sun has begun. When the sun has actually graced the morning, then the original color of the sky will be black and blue replaced with white clouds decorated. If you bring a camera, it would be nice to record any changes.

Once the sun has looked round at the east end, then you can see the landscape around Bukit Tugel no less admirable. Staring to the north, you can see Mount Merapi stands firmly in the north with a similar formation of white smoke from the top of the mountain. Still in the north, you can also see the valor of the Prambanan Hindu temple beautiful.

In the other direction, you can see the view of the city of Yogyakarta, rice paddies and rustic around the hill, some temples are located more in the bottom, and other interesting sights. You are also free to explore every corner of the Bukit Tugel it. After that, you’ll walk back to the location overnight while enjoying the scenery on either side of the track to the hill Tugel.
