Becici and Adrenalin Rush!

Becici and Adrenalin Rush!

Finally, I saw horses walking on Mallioboro Street in late evening after the hustle of 3 days travels from India to Malesia to Indonesia! Finally, scenes that I used to rewind on YouTube videos were in front of my Eyes! It truly feels like a retro film!


I moved my legs towards my dormitory, dropped my bags on the floor and jumped on the bed for rejuvenating my body with rest after the restless journey!


I was sure that I need one solo trip in the lap of Nature next day! I wanted to explore the less travelled roads! I searched for nearby natural destinations in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Randomly clicked on the second page of Google search results, instead of reading the first page! And I GOT my destination, The Becici peak of Java Island.


Next-day morning at 11 am I realised that I was slower than time! Within an hour from that moment, I begun my race with the clock! I was on the roads of Yogyakarta with my rented bike! As my google map was not working there, the thrill was already riding along with me!


I hold the bike Handle stylishly! Put up my helmet, earphones, and glasses on! Kicked up for the uncertainties. There were unreadable milestones in-between. So, decoding the gesture and postures of localities who were directing me towards Becici peak was fun!


Outside the town, I was increasing my bike speed gradually in synchronization with beats of my favourite music! The Roads were wide and beautiful! Menoreh Mountains were visible behind the tall forest of pine trees which brought spark in my eyes.


Driving leads to puzzle of Roads on those mountains. I was fortunate to meet a school girl, who told me to follow her and showed me my first and intermediate unplanned destination - Limpoh or lipo waterfall!


My blood was rushing in my veins like a tsunami and eyes were not ready to believe that water can be green too! I took a few selfies to prove myself later on that it wasn't a beautiful dream!!


I got ready to jump inside the beautiful green Lake! I was all alone there! That cold water touched my body and filled my soul with calmness! I slowly marched towards the waterfall of that lake, it was dangerous and unbelievable! Clean water, calm Nature and my shivering soul! I hugged one rock and enjoyed water flowing from upside on it! With closed eyes, I felt the softness of water like never before! Emotions were about to come out as tears of joy! But, I controlled myself and came out of the water! My mind just got a shock because I forgot that the pine forest gets too cold after 5 pm in mountains! Quickly, I geared up for Becici Peak!


Roads were getting darker every minute. Ultimately, around 6 pm I was on the highest peak of that Island! 450 meters above the sea! If I could have the power to declare it as the eighth wonder of the world, I would have never done that! Rather, I would love to keep that place as a secret.


From Becici peak, shining lights of the entire Island were visible blurrily! Wind speed on that peak were driving me crazy! If you are thin, don't take a risk to go there alone. Otherwise, it will be difficult to handle yourself by floating in the air! The word Superman became the synonym for myself that evening! Heart was filled with courage, amusement and Adrenaline Rush. Again my wet eyes were witness to my happiness!


Suddenly, the watchman told me that it's the closing time!

I had started my journey back to the bed!

My stomach was hungry,

Heart was full,

Body was totally cold,

Soul was warm inside!


It was time to use the art of using hand brakes of the bike while climbing down in dark. I entered inside the dormitory room at 9 30 pm, within half a minute I had a look over all bag packers in that dormitory, planning for their secure and safe traveling the next day!


And before taking most satisfying sleep, I had murmured with a smile, "Becici, Superman and Adrenaline Rush!”
