The most noticeable characteristic of Jagapati Waterfall is the presence of three levels of landscapes on where tourists can explore. Once arriving at the site, visitors may see the pristine environment with numerous trees and bushes surrounding the waterfall. What is more? The next allure is definitely the clean and refreshing water, which is suitable for bathing and playing water. Not to mention the water discharge is not quite swift, so it is considered safe even for kids to play in it. Another important trivia is related to the source of water, which comes from Cilimbung River of Limbung Mountain! During the hot season, the water has the color of Tosca but it turns darker during the rainy season. #urbanwaterfall

The coffee menu is also quite complete, (basic, Japanese, manual, etc.) but just try the milk coffee, it's okay. Location: Jl. Tanjungsari, Karangpawitan, Garut. #cafe

I recently hiked Papandayan Mountain in Garut, and it was an unforgettable adventure. The trek offered stunning views of diverse landscapes, from lush forests to volcanic craters. The highlight was reaching the crater area, with its dramatic fumaroles and sulfur springs. The edelweiss meadow, Tegal Alun, was a serene and picturesque spot. The trail was well-marked and suitable for both beginners and experienced hikers. If you're in Garut, Papandayan is a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers! #garut

It’s a very quiet, cold and cosy house. It’s very very clean for a room high up in the mountains. There’s no aircon as the temperature was cold enough that I have to use the blanket. The toilet is huge and very clean. The wifi there is very strong too! Breakfast is okay, don’t expect too much from a cheap place. The view from outside the room is beautiful! It has a hedge maze, a pretty gigantic garden and a few water feature. Do wake up early if you want to catch a clear view of the mountains! Any later it will fog up. The most important thing there, the service is top notch! Very very full of manners front desk receptionist. I also called the receptionist for some help and they came in a few minutes with smile on their faces even though it is in the midnight.

What a terrific visit to this place!

In terms of size, Guntur Mountain has the height of 2249 meters above the sea level. In the past, it was considered a significant volcano due to its activity during the 1800s. Fortunately, it became calmer as the time went by. Instead of being a dangerous mountain, it has turned into a nice vacation destination especially for those who love trekking and photography. Another impressive fact is that Guntur resides near to other famous mountains including Parupuyan, Masigit, and Cikuray! Moreover, several inns reside on the foot of the mountain and feature public hot springs for bathing. Trekkers’ main destination is none other than the peak of the mountain, which is a wide caldera featuring dry plants and sandy landscape. The panorama looks breathtaking up there, for sure. #urbanexplorer

One thing that makes Cicalobak Beach unique is the presence of the coral cluster. To be exact, Cicalobak is a small estuary, which flows through the recession between two clusters of coral reefs. Once arriving at the site, thus, tourists can hear a soothing sound of the waves that splash those coral reefs. Despite the big waves (which is a common characteristic of South beaches of Garut), the seawater becomes calmer in the recession part of the beach. No wonder, many tourists take advantage of such condition to swim using buoy tires. In a nutshell, this beach resembles Bali’s Tanah Lot so much and is suitable for photography. The presence of gazebos on the edge of the coral reefs makes the beach perfect for relaxation as well. #urbanexplorer
