Ujung Kulon National Park

Peucang Island is located in the Ujung Kulon National Park conservation area. The sea around Peucang Island is still very healthy and maintained because Ujung Kulon National Park officers guard it from over-exploitation of resources. There are 4 locations around Peucang Island which have beautiful and healthy coral gardens. First is the beach in front of Batik Villa, the second location is named Ciapus, the third is Citerjun, and the fourth is Sumino. The types of biota and coral are not much different at each snorkeling spot. Most consist of hard corals such as Acropora branching, Acropora Tabular and Stylophora sp. Soft corals such as sea anemones grow in a small area. Grouper fish, surgeonfish, lobster, cuttlefish, blue spotted stingray, lionfish, clown fish, and puffer fish are often spotted. #urbanexplorer #besttrip

Pulau Umang, which is located near Ujung Kulon, has a famous resort tour. Luxurious villas will spoil you during their stay here. You can swim in the pool overlooking the beach. You can also walk around the island while enjoying its beautiful beach. The anglers must bring their fishing gear to try your luck here. In addition the resort operator provides facilities for you who want to play banana boat, jet ski or snorkeling. #wintergetaway #happynewyear #tripinspired #wintergetaway#tripinspired#happynewyear

I think this place is so unique. If you’d like to tweak more, not only this place protects a number of endangered species but also filled with cool histories from a community of Hindus and Buddhist in Panaitan Island, Sultanate history in Sanghyang Sirah, and relics from Dutch Colonials around Cibom areas. Beautiful scenic available on the shorelines, many giant rocks and corals from the eruption of Mt. Krakatau made it looks naturally breathtaking. Ujung Kulon National Park has beautiful beaches and good for snorkle. My recommendations includes Sanghyang Sirah, Badul Island, Mangir Island, Oar Island, Peucang Island, Panaitan Island, and Handeleum Island (you can experience an Amazon in Cigenter River here). Well, Ciputih Beach is just as good as well. However, I think this place is considered as a remote place, as the access from Jakarta to Desa Sumur were damaged and you have to rent a local boat to the western tip of Ujung Kulon National Park with approximately 3 hours travel time. #wintergetaway #tripinspired #happynewyear #wintergetaway#tripinspired#happynewyear

Ujung Kulon is the oldest national park in Indonesia which was inaugurated as one of the World Heritage protected by UNESCO in 1991, because its area covers a very large protected forest. Until now, approximately 50 to 60 rhinos live in this habitat. At first Ujung Kulon was an agricultural area for some time until it was completely destroyed and the entire population was exhausted when Mount Krakatau erupted on August 27, 1883 which eventually turned this area back into a forest. Entrance tickets to this National Park can be obtained at the National Park Office in Labuan or at the Tamanjaya post. Lodging facilities are located in Tamanjaya village, Handeuleum Island and Peucang Island. To improve the management capacity of Ujung Kulon National Park as a World Natural Heritage Site, UNESCO has provided financial support and technical assistance. #triplocal #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Ujung Kulon reminds me with social sciences subject which I learned during my primary school, a home for the endangered one horn Javanese Rhino. Located in Banten Province, around 6 hours from Jakarta. It’s funny how you look how close the location in the map but it needs 6 hours drive from Jakarta to Peucang Island, Ujung Kulon. Once we reached the island, a different view from usual beaches that I’d been to. I felt more like in a jungle rather than beach. Of course the beach is clean and beautiful but the uniqueness of this island is the presence of wild animals. I saw monkeys running around, wild boars, deers, and lizards and they were just hanging around near the cottage, a new experience for me. Don’t worry those animals won’t harm you. #urbanexplorer #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel
