2nd visit on my adulthood life :) the park is huge, a great place for children and adult to interact with the different kinds of animal. Be careful with the temptation to feed the animals with the carrot (sold on the roadside on the way to the park by the local resident) as the activity is actually prohibited by the park. However when you decide to sneak the snacks for the animals, prepare yourself to be surrounded by the heard of different animals. They are waiting for their snacks and are very persistent on getting it, :D. A lot of other activities, playgrounds, shows, and event a separate whole area for the Giant Panda couple. 1 day might not be enough to cover all of the attraction.

Mr.Edu from Java Private Tour has fulfilled my desire to do this adventure, my desire has always been wanting to set foot in the land of Java which is famous for local wisdom and exotic natural beauty and the uniqueness of its volcanic mountains with tropical rain forests that are very beautiful to explore. Two days and one night I spent time exploring these mountains, Mas Crater, Baru Crater, Nangklak Crater, and Manuk Crater, and dead forest i went one by one with my friends from singapore. The beauty of nature is not enough to put it into words, I will definitely come back later.

For the first time we visit the NUART, Bandung, on 28 December, 2010. We see an amazing sculptures around the park, even, in the ticketing office. You can imagine how big is the real Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) which is built in Bali in scale 1 : 20. Meanwhile, with entrance fee only Rp. 50.000,- you can enjoy all of the brass and copper sculptures made by I Nyoman Nuarta himself, the best and well-knowm maestro of Indonesia and the world. There are also theater dan culture platform in the second floor. The whole area is 30.000 m2. You can enjoy as you like .... everywhere snd every corner !

Ciletuh Geopark is full of amazing, huge waterfalls and stunning scenery. It's a 6 hour drive from Jakarta but you feel like you have entered an entirely different world. The air is clean, the hills are impressive and covered in dense foliage and there is good bird life throughout the region. Some of the waterfalls can be visited by just a short walk from your car while others offer 30-40 minute hikes for the more adventurous and fit. It's best to organize a local driver who knows the road conditions and where everything is to make sure you can make the most of your stay. We stayed at Ciletuh Hills which is a brand new resort right next to Curug Sodong and Cikanteh two of the finest waterfalls in the park and it has a few villa's with amazing views, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms and high quality air condition. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a base to explore the park. They also organize very reasonably priced "Safari Tours" to the main attractions in the park using high clearance vehicles that will safely get you to any of the parks many destinations. This place is one of the few remaining true paradises in West Java. If you plan a visit avoid the weekend or long weekends if possible or else you might encounter crowds escaping Jakarta. We went mid week and had most of the waterfalls completely to ourselves or with maybe one other group.

I love this place because it takes care of various types of birds, the settings was very nice and interesting for kids. Our favourite place was the love birds place. The love bird was easy to touch and play with. Our kids was enthusiastic since there are colorful birds. My negative feedback was only on the access road to go there. When we went back home we was stuck in very bad traffic jam because the road is narrow especially because more people came to visit some tourism attraction arround there.
