Now i willl post about a incredible view of the Peut Sagoe Mountain, Geumpang in Aceh, Indonesia.

About Ulu Masen

Geumpang is one of the highlands at Pidie District, Province of Aceh, Indonesia that has a variety of hidden potential in it. Especially its natural tourism potential. This is proof that Indonesia, especially Aceh, is a country that is rich in grace or heaven given by God. It is not only the natural potential that Indonesia has, but there are still many other hidden potentials ranging from various ethnicities, languages, cultures and various other diversity.

-- Apui Peak, Peut Sagoe Mountain

Talking about the potential for natural tourism will not be spared the beautiful view / landscape offered. One of them is the view of the mountains of the Ulu Masen Ecosystem. The Ulu Masen Mountains consist of various peaks, both peaks that have triangulation pillars or those that do not exist (untouched by humans)

-- Perennial Flower (Eldelweiss Flower)

In addition to the view / landscape that has potential, the Ulu Masen Ecosystem also has various other potentials, ranging from the potential for flora and fauna, the potential for karst areas, the potential for natural resources and various other potentials.

-- Giant Carrion Flowers (Rafflesia Arnoldii)

The total area of the Ulu Masen forest area based on research data and satellite data reaches 738,856 hectares, whose location covers five administrative districts in the northern part of Aceh. The boundaries of Ulu Masen National Park are as follows:

Pidie District (Keumala, Tiro, Tangse, Mane, Geumpang, Sakti, Padang Tiji, Mila, Glumpang Tiga dan Delima)
Pidie Jaya District (Meurah Dua Bandar Baru, Bandar Dua, Meureudu, Trienggadeng dan Ulim)
Aceh Jaya District (Teunom, Panga, Krueng Sabee, Setia Bakti, Sampoiniet dan Jaya)
Aceh Barat District (Sungai Mas, Kaway XVI dan Pantai Ceureumen)

-- Genus of Carnivorous Plants (Genus Nepenthes)

The existence of the Ulu Masen forest area itself in the spatial layout of Aceh region provides significant social and economic benefits for the people who live in the surrounding area, even covering nearly half of the total population of the people of Aceh province. The sustainability of the Ulu Masen forest guarantees the availability of water supply for agriculture and community consumption.

-- Centipede (Scolopendra Trimaculata)

The main problem faced by the government and related parties in maintaining the sustainability of the Ulu Masen area is dealing with the severe behavior of illegal logging, hunting of endangered animals and fauna and illegal mining activities.

Peut Sagoe and Kemiki Mountain

Some people must know about the two most exotic mountains in Geumpang. In the Ulu Masen Ecosystem especially in Geumpang there are 2 mountain peaks which are best known especially among Nature Lovers Organizations. The two peaks are Apui Peak (Mount Peut Sagoe) and Keumiki Peak (Mount Kemiki). Apui Peak has an altitude of 2780 meters sea level while Kemiki Peak has an altitude of 2800 meters sea level. These two mountains have several similarities and character differences. Among them are these two mountains dominated by shrub forests, tall grasses and savannas. In addition, these two mountains have a very exotic view when we are at the top with sunny weather. The difference is that Mount Peut Sagoe is an active volcano while kemiki mountain is a dormant volcano. In addition, the difference between the two is the hiking trail. Where the ascent of Apui Peak (Peut Sagoe Mountain) 4-5 days while Mount Kemiki 7-9 days

Forest conditions on the hiking trails

Ulu Masen Ecosystem also has a variety of fauna. These fauna live and roam around the area. This diversity of fauna consists of Sumatran Tiger (Panthera Tigris Sondaica), Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus Sumatrensis), Sumatran Elephant (Elephas Maximus Sumatranus), Honey Bear (Helarctos Malayanus), Slow loris (Nycticebus Sumatranus), Sumatran Forester (Pongo abelli), Siamang (Symphalangus Syndactylus), Kedih (Presbytis Thomasi) and others

Carcasses and bones of living things

In the mountainous area there is also a very beautiful lake covering 3 ha. This lake is flanked by two mountains that add to the beautiful view there. Some climbers who have climbed the mountain say that the lake is Peut Sagoe's Ranukumbolo. Ranukumbolo is a gem lake located on Mount Semeru (the highest mountain in Java Island), East Java

Kemiki Lake (sorry this photo is a little blurry)

That's what I can share stories related to Mount Peut Sago and Mount Kemiki. In addition to god's various creations that have various beauties, it should be our duty as human beings to maintain, care for, and preserve them. Nature is ours together. Save the Environtment....
