Met by the Regent of Garut at the Health Center, Gibran shared his survival story while being lost on Mount Guntur.

Lying in the room of the Health Center, this 8th-grade teenager revealed that during the four days on the mountain, he drank river water to save himself.

"Gibran, what did you eat during your time there? Grass or leaves?" Helmi asked through his Instagram post.

"No, I endured hunger there. I only drank river water using leaves," Gibran explained in a weak condition.

2. Feeling Daytime

In addition, Gibran was offered food by a woman while on Mount Guntur. However, he refused because he did not know her. Not only offering food, the woman also invited Gibran to her house, but this 14-year-old hiker refused.

"There was someone who offered food at that time, an old woman. But I didn't want it, I didn't know her. And I didn't go to her house when she invited me because I was afraid and it was steep," said Gibran in front of Deputy Regent Helmi.

Lost for four days on Mount Guntur, Gibran also felt that there was no nighttime atmosphere. He admitted that when he got lost, he only felt the usual daytime atmosphere.

"Yesterday, for five days and four nights, there was no night, it felt like daytime all the time. And someone gave me bread as a rescuer," he said.
