Destination: PUNCAK & its vicinity (Indonesia)
View Larger Map
Puncak is a 3 hour drive away from Bandung and about a 1.5hour drive from the Indonesian capital Jakarta, via the expressway.
As Puncak is in the mountains, the roads leading to this town are winding and narrow. During weekends, the roads are clogged with folks from Jakarta. It is best to visit this town during weekdays.
The temperature at Puncak is cooler than Bandung. At 6.00pm local time, the temperature can dip to about 26 degrees celcius.
You could drop-by this town and put up a night after visiting Bandung. A 2 day 1 night trip here would be just fine as there are not many attractions here. It is just a nice place to chill.
Sights:
TAMAN BUNGA NUSANTARA (Botanical Gardens)
Jl. Mariawati Km. 7 Desa Kawung Luwuk, Cipanas, Cianjur
Operating hours:
Weekdays: 8.00am - 5.00pm
Weekends/Public holidays: 8.00am - 5.30pm
Admission charges: IDR 30,000/adult (SGD 4.45)
In the botanical gardens, there are many sub-gardens like the Baliense Themed Garden, Japanese Themed Garden etc.
This spawling botanical garden is really worth while to spend a day walking about and admiring the well landscaped scenery.
TEA PLANTATIONS ALONG PUNCAK PASS
This is a short post as there is not much to see. However, it is a good place to drop by to get away from the hectic lifestyle when living in big cities.
There is nothing to recommend for food and shopping as these would be better in Bandung. Puncak is only a place for you to unwind.
You could fly into Bandung for a 3 day 2 night stay, then visit Puncak for a 2 day 1 night stay and depart for Singapore from Jakarta.
