Strengthening the Ties of Love in Pante Gemasih: Gayo Camping!
It's still about tourist destinations in Takengon, the capital of Aceh Tengah, Indonesia. This time it is about Pante Gemasih which is located on the edge of Lake Lut Tawar, a fresh water lake located at the top of Takengon City which has a cool climate (around 18 degrees Celsius in the morning, compared with the temperature in Kota Lhokseumawe which reaches 33 degrees in March 2024 which is indeed is at its highest point).
Pante Gemasih in the Gayo language can be translated as a beach full of love. This destination, which is located in Kelitu, Bintang District, Aceh Tengah Regency, has many interesting angles for group photos. The view below shows the expanse of Lake Lut Tawar. Not the entire surface of the lake can be enjoyed because its area reaches 70 kilometers per square meter. Some are covered with pine forests.
At night when the moon is full, the surface of Lake Lut Tawar looks golden like a golden carpet. Above the surface of the exotic lake, mist could be seen moving under the moonlight, at first glance like hot steam from boiling water. In fact, if we touch it, the water of Lake Lut Tawar will make the body shiver even more.
The view below, in the form of a lake, seems to contrast with the hills and wilderness above. But at night, only a few points of light can be seen, including the headlights of vehicles passing along the road above which winds like a giant sleeping snake.
With this combination of beauty, it would not be wrong if alumni of 91 STM Negeri Bireuen decided to camp at Pante Gemasih. According to one of the alumni, Tarmizi alias Meiji, the place was chosen based on recommendations from alumni who live in Takengon. "Our friends really control this area because they were born and raised here," said Meiji, an alumnus of STM Negeri Bireuen, majoring in Automotive Engineering.
Chairman of the 1991 Alumni of STM Negeri Bireuen, Zulfikar Idris, said that Pante Gemasih represents the atmosphere of closeness and kinship that is becoming stronger among alumni.
"Togetherness on the shores of exotic lakes and graceful hills, under the golden moonlight, strengthens the affection between alumni, especially since we have just become friends again after almost 33 years of separation," said Zulfikar, who now works at an oil and gas company in Lhokseumawe.
This was confirmed by Mulyadi, Fauzi, Hasan, Syabirin, Saleh, and several other alumni. At Pante Gemasih, they are like a family who share their love for each other in happy and sad situations. "We didn't even experience an atmosphere like this when we were at school, decades ago," said Mulyadi, which was confirmed by other alumni.[]
Memperkuat Tali Kasih di Pante Gemasih: Gayo Camping!
Masih tentang destinasi wisata di Takengon, ibukota Aceh Tengah, Indonesia. Kali ini tentang Pante Gemasih yang terletak di pinggir Danau Lut Tawar, sebuah danau air tawar yang terletak di puncak Kota Takengon yang berhawa sejuk (sekitar 18 derajat Celcius pada waktu pagi, bandingkan dengan suhu di Kota Lhokseumawe yang mencapai 33 derajat pada Maret 2024 yang memang sedang berada pada titik tertinggi).).
Pante Gemasih dalam bahasa Gayo dapat diterjemakan sebagai pantai yang penuh kasih sayang. Destinasi yang terletak di Kelitu, Kecamatan Bintang, Kabupaten Aceh Tengah, ini memiliki banyak sudut yang menarik untuk foto bersama. Pemandangan di bawah menyuguhkan hamparan Danau Lut Tawar. Tidak seluruh permukaan danau bisa dinikmati karena luasnya mencapai 70 kilo meter persergi. Beberapa bagi tertutup dengan hutan pinus.
Pada malam hari ketika bulan sedang purnama, permukaan Danau Lut Tawar terlihat bersinar keemasan laksana hamparan permadani emas. Di atas permukaan danau yang eksotis, terlihat kabut yang bergerak di bawah sinar rembulan, sepintas seperti uap panas dari air yang mendidih. Padahal, kalau kita menyentuhkan, air Danau Lut Tawar akan membuat tubuh tambah menggigil.
Pemandangan di bawah berupa danau seolah kontras dengan perbukitan dan hutan belantara di atas. Namun pada malam hari, hanya beberapa titik cahaya yang terlihat, termasuk lampu-lampu kendaraan yang melintasi jalan di atas yang berkelok-kelok seperti ular raksasa yang sedang tertidur.
