If you are an admirer of art and beauty, your soul will feel satisfied and pampered while visiting this place. Consisting of two areas, NuArt provides galleries in indoor and outdoor form. NuArt and its entire region belong to Nyoman Nuarta. Some of Nyoman Nuarta's famous works include Garuda Wisnu Kencana in Bali, Arjuna Wiwaha in Jakarta, Jalesviva Jayamahe statue in Surabaya.
The charming NuArt Gallery building architecture with the exterior environment is very beautiful and well preserved. Overall this place looks beautiful, artistic and elegant.
The entrance fee of one person isIDR 50,000. I highly recommend this place.

Excellent shopping mall with all the facilities a usual mall has but this has a little extra. Fashion, entertainment, food courts, play areas for kids, outside dining options, outside Gardens and fishponds.
Love this mall and the outside areas of it. The fish feeding at certain times are great for kids and adults alike. Everyone isngiven small containers of fish food to throw to the fish.
The outside dining and entertainment areas are great..lots of variety to chose from and the stage area puts on different bands on different days/nights

I was doing nothing over the weekend in Jakarta and decided to visit Mt. Papandayan because I read wonderful things about it. It takes 5-6 hours by bus to reach there. From the bus station, it takes around an hour to reach the Camp david(Base for the trek). I had to pay IDR 3,00,000 which IMHO is too much. The place is pretty awesome. I didn't have a guide but followed the map and asked people around for directions. The major attractions will be Danau, Hutan Mati and the Edelweiss plantations.

This place makes for great photos and you do wonder the extent they go to ensure these flowers thrive in the tropical climate, even though they mostly hail from temperate regions. All in all, it feels like a very good botanic Gardens, over-manicured to some extent perhaps, which is rather unreal in the local context of Indonesia.
If you are a flower lover, this place is a must, the entry fee is cheap by international standards. Or if you simply like to escape the bustle and bad air in Jakarta, make this a part of a trip out, including say a visit to Taman Safari and Bogor highlands (a tea plantation visit is also great), Would be nice to stay in a hotel in Bogor as well, as the environment beats the congestion and pollution in Jakarta.

Tucked away in a corner of Lembang town, this place is easily missed if one does not consciously look for it. A beautiful contemporary design church with minimalist decor. Look out for the manicured garden walkway behind the church that Roman Catholics would well identify with as well as the grotto dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. A serene place to be in the midst of a busy day for a moment of peace and contemplation and maybe a prayer or two.

This place is not far from Jakarta (around 3-4 hours depend on traffic)
Start the day from Cibodas area (Mandalawangi camp ground) with their natural view and fresh air, but a lot of trash,,
The next day, we go to Curug Cibereum. From Mandalawangi you can go to the Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango's gate first and buy the entry ticket IDR 18.500/person,,
From the gate to Curug Cibereum take 1-1,5 hours walking for around 2,6km. But, again, you will find trash on left and right side of the way.
And.. we arrived at Curug Cibereum,, beautiful waterfall..! But, you will see more trash. It will be better if we can maintain the cleanliness, so, do not litter..!!
Enjoy and Happy Holiday..!
Salam Lestari :)

It's on the way from Bandung to on the way to Kawah Putih. We stopped for an hour to walk around and enjoy the mountain air. Very peaceful and tranquil. Travel on the weekend can be congested so during Ramadan is better. There are some very good restaurants on the way there. Also bought some very good Wallini tea from the plantation outlet/shop

Well, it's a university complex. Nothing that distinctive here aside from the architecture of the buildings which may seem quite sophisticated. Aside from that, it's just a school compound that's pretty much about it.
