Kampung Naga, Tasikmalaya

Visit a Traditional Village with an Ancient Culture: Kampung Naga, Garut

Just an hour away from the city of Garut lies a village called Kampung Naga (or ‘Dragon Village’ in English).

Unlike almost every other village, Kampung Naga still relies on a traditional governance system used since hundreds of years ago, where the Head of the Village is the most powerful person in the village.
As they refraining from using electricity, the residents of Kampung Naga have little or no communication to the outside world.

If you want to visit, you’ll need to inform the head of the village. After which, you will be given a sharing session on how the village is run, and will also be shown around, such as the places where the people farm crops and livestock, and even a tour of one of their houses!
