altitude of approximately 2,200
meters above sea level with an area
of about 270 hectares, and not
far from there around three
hundred meters or
fifteen minutes away by foot, there is a Giri Rejo hamlet.
After walking about five miles down an overgrown hillside with a lot of
Edelweis, there will be a farmland with breathtaking views of the valley and
hills are covered with wonderful and lush pine forest. Five kilometers then, behind
the hillside which dominated by reeds vegetation and fairly dense forests there
is a hamlet named Tirta Sari. At Tirta Sari hamlet there is a large lake with

King Wikramawardhana, the support
from the Dharmma Saptanaga Knights
to Ra Dyan Girikusuma is a form of the biggest acts
of betrayal against his rule, it is this which be one reason the
occurrence of the battle at Mount Mahameru.
