TREK MARIBAYA BANDUNG.02






Taman Hutan Raya Ir. H. Djuanda (Great Forest Park) is a conservation area, botanical garden, and recreational area that begins in the Dago area of Bandung and stretches nearly 30 km north, past Tangkuban Prahu to the village of Ciater.
CURUG OMAS : MARIBAYA
Trekking through the Great Forest is a great way to see West Java's natural beauty   
In addition to the waterfalls, the mostly pine and bamboo forest has abundant wildlife – weasels, squirrels, monkeys, and many species of birds.

Both the Dutch and the Japanese built an extensive cave network around Bandung. They’re open for trekkers to explore – vendors hang out outside the caves to rent flashlights for Rp.3000.
                                                                                                      
The trekking trail extends the entire distance. It’s one of West Java’s most accessible treks. One popular option is to go to Maribaya by car and trek back into Dago (6 km). This direction is downhill most of the way.
