In terms of the name on Mount Burni Telong, means "Mount Burned". The problem of volcanoes has not erupted so far, and the government is paying a lot of attention to its activities given the potential damage that may occur in the future. As for tourists, the mountain becomes a challenging place to be explored. Despite providing interesting sights for trekking, everyone should pay attention to the route and should come up with good stamina. In addition, it takes a good concentration to do trekking there.

Mount Burni Telong is famous for the beauty of Edelwies field, which at an altitude of 2200 Mdpl can already be found shoots Edelwies plants around the summit path. Lucky as we climb Mount Burni The flowered eggs that can only grow in this plateau are in the flowering season.

Mount Burni Telong is located in Bener Meriah Regency. Our climbing route through Bandar Lampahan route, in Rembune Village. According to the information we get other than through this route can also be through Pante Raya Route, but Pante Raya Route is very time consuming, because Bandar Lampahan route is more often chosen by the climbers.

The route to the foot of the mountain begins with a journey from Simpang Lapahan (if the trip from Bireuen, Simpang Lampahan on the left side of the road, because this intersection does not have a name plank should bole ask to people around the location of Bandar Lampahan Hot Water Baths, this bath is more popular from any location in the city of Lamapahan). From the intersection of Lampahan into the walk about 2-3 km, although the road is asphalted but the climb-tanjakannya enough drain calf muscles. As a sign that we have arrived at Rembune Village, there is a simple gate made of iron plate that reads Welcome to Rembune Village.

From POS Rembune if we go on a motorcycle can ask on the shuttle to the foot of the mountain, the distance is about 3 km. Twice I climbed Mount Burni Telong always arrived at Rembune Village on a dark day, the first at 9 pm, to two hours 6 am, so I am always in the dark towards the foot of the mountain, maybe because that is also the population willing to take to the foot of the mountain .

The first fifteen minutes we will walk through the coffee plantation:

The first fifteen minutes we will walk through the coffee plantation, the path here is still gentle, after passing through the coffee plantation, we will pass the vegetable garden, in this vegetable plantation we will not find the big trees. In the plantations that we pass this we will often greet with the local farmers, even sometimes they first greet us, Gayo land people are really very friendly,

Past the vegetable garden, directly in the face with a high-backed hill, the track is about 100 meters but enough to force us to stop to rest. Well, after passing through the hill, the journey directly into the jungle jungle, does not take long, just 10 minutes journey just sunlight is difficult to penetrate the shade of tree leaves in the forest.

The track trail for 2 hours is still clear to follow, which is difficult when it comes to fallen tree lanes, here there is a Three intersection, to the right, to the left and from where we come. As we hiked long enough to circle at this intersection, we chose the jalir on the right, which after the ascent we know that this path du use for the hunters of animals, because that is the path of mutar-mutar. For an hour we circled the path, finally we returned to the third intersection, and select the left lane, and it turns out that we are smoothly following the path. At this point we did not find a confusing crossroads, we were smoothly trushing with the spirit of steel.

Four hours already we split the forest of Burni Mountain Telong, climbing, shrinking, hanging, jumping is the way to pass through the Burni Telong Mountain field. Naturally this path has a Vertical track, because Bandar Lampahan route is open to speed up the distance to the top of Mount Burni Telong. So do not expect a lot of ramps, just enjoy Mennnn. It took us six hours to get to Shelter Camp, although tired, tired but the jungle was different from the city's air, no matter what body, the air we breathe was cool and always refreshingly fast.

Well until this is my first trip this time, though a little tired but we are all satisfied with the results of the scenery, all paid off with such beautiful scenery. see you again in my post @bangboy next. Hope you guys like my trip this time thanks a lot.
