BOKO SUNRISE

Boko Sunrise, Seeing Sunrise from the Top of Tugel Hill
Many people have visited the Palace of Queen Boko that used to be called Abhayagiri Vihara, a palace that based on the meaning lies on the hill full of peacefulness. Nonetheless, few of them experience the comfort of walking from the palace location and trekking through Boko hill in the morning time and enjoy the sun rising in the east. YogYES invites you to enjoy it to celebrate the coming of the new dawn in the beginning of the year.
In order for you to enjoy it, you can register yourself as participant of Boko Trekking in the Temple Tourism Park. Once you register, you get a tour package of walking around Queen Boko Palace, enjoying dawn scenery at Andrawina Plaza (one of the palace halls), staying night in the tent and trekking Boko hill to see the sunrise and the complex of Boko Queen. It must be an interesting tour package in the year-end.
The most interesting journey is trekking that usually starts at 03:00a.m. in order later to enjoy the view of sunrise. It will be the right time to start the journey to enjoy the dawn in the beginning of the year because you must be busy with blowing trumpets in the previous hours to signal the arrival of the New Year. Make sure that you are physically ready to take the journey after staying out the night.
The path leading to Bukit Tugel, where you will see one of the most beautiful dawns is not too difficult, so you do not have to worry. Besides, tour agencies provide you with guides that will ease your first adventure to climb the hill. Nonetheless, some personal equipment such as field clothes, helmet, mountain shoes, flashlight and medicines must be prepared.
During the journey to Bukit Tugel, you cannot see natural view at the surroundings since it is still dark, but you can listen to melodious natural music. If you are sensitive, you can even notice the change of the natural music when dawn comes; the voice of earth insects and night birds that previously dominated is replaced with the crowing of cocks, the chirp of church birds and a little noise from the activities of local people.
