Cimacan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Hiking Mount Gede Pangrango

Gunung Gede is a mountain in West Java that has a very high attraction for the hikers on the island of Java. Mount Gede has three official gates, namely National Gede-Pangrango Park (Cibodas) Halimun-Gede National Park (Sukabumi), & Gunung Putri (Cipanas). This time I will review through Cibodas. Normally trip to cibodas approximately 3 hours from Jakarta if you were not got the traffic jammed. If you are from Jakarta city, you can use public transportation to Bogor city (bus). From Bogor, you can continue the journey to Cianjur using a small vehicle, a colt or angkot, until Cibodas intersection. From there you can continue using the angkot to the gate or basecamp or PHPA Cibodas office to take care of the permits. Please note, if you want to hike Mount Gede you have to take care of the permit 3 days earlier & if you have never climbed before, it is advisable to use the services of a guide or porter to anticipate the worst, although actually the signs on this route is quite clear. Gunung Gede has beautiful scenery at its peak, duration for beginners approximately 10 hours. So prepare yourself as well as you can to enjoy the hike. The water source is quite abundant on this route, so there is no need to worry about the lack of water. Have a safe hike & keep our earth clean. #naturalwonders#hiking#nationalpark

Edelweiss of Alun - Alun Surya Kencana

A must visited campsite in Mount Gede is Surya Kencana. Needs 6-8 hours from mountain feet to Surya Kencana. This campsite is surrounded by Edelweiss flower (anaphalis javanica). Hikers are prohibited to pick this flower because it's conserved and only found above 2000 metre height. Only need 30 minute - 1 hour to see sunrise on the mountain peak from surya kencana. Cibereum hotspring is an additional gift for hikers when they go down from mountain and want to relax for a while. Best season for trekking is May - October. #loveflowers#naturalwonders#camping#hiking#nationalpark

Hiking the Pangrango Mountain

A beautiful mountain. It’s better to book a guide if you’re a beginner hiker like me so you don’t need to be worried about getting lost and anything else, just enjoy your hiking time. About the hike, i love the waterfall we found along the way, it's amazing and very cold. There is a hot spring as well. However, the water is really hot I think no one can put their hand inside the water for more than 5 seconds hahaha. A lot of steam and hiking is little difficult on hot spring. If you have a plan to enjoy volcano then you need to make a plan for 2 nights and 1 day. The hiking is around 8 hours. If you only want to enjoy hot spring then that is around 4 hour hiking. If you only want to enjoy waterfall then I think 1 hour hiking. I would recommend going to the top for the most beautiful view and a legit hiking experience ⛰🌿🍃🌤 🏕 #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #summervacation#hikingtrails

There are sakura trees flourish on the highland of a tropical country such as Indonesia. Since Cibodas botanical garden is approximately 1,275 meters above mean sea level, it has similar characteristics with the place where Sakura originated. The flowers even can bloom twice a year here: in January to February and July to August. Every time Sakura flowers bloom, they only last for four days. If you miss the peak period, during these months you still can see few late bloomers. They are not as many as we expected, but let's hope we have better luck next year! Anyway, the Sakura Garden here is still a nice place to have a picnic with and without the flowers :) #springblossomjakarta #urbanexplorer #springblossoms #springblossoms#urbanexplorer
