Gunung Putri, Lembang
Past Meets Present For The Most Ideal Natural Beauty – Gunung Putri,
Lembang
It’s hard to believe that there is such magical natural attraction
that isn’t all that far from the hustle and bustle of downtown Bandung. Lembang
is a popular leisure area just a few hours drive from the central of Bandung,
and is most favored for its cool fresh air and the famous Mount of Tangkuban
Perahu. While not as known as Tangkuban Perahu, Mount Putri is starting to get
the much deserved hype from travelers, as it’s impossible to dismiss its unique
features. Unlike any others, you’ll find the remnant of a Dutch Colonial fort
right on one of the hills of Mount Putri. Built back in the 1st World War, the
mysterious and white building stays intact and solid, despite having no certain
maintenance. Continuing upward, you’ll end up on the mountain top that
overlooks a view of verdant pine forest overshadowed by the misty city
landscape. Look up and take in the cool breeze, the sky from this height is a
splendid view which will leave you with all sort of indescribable feelings.

Getting there: Head to Jayagiri street to find the main gate
where you’ll be charged Rp 5.000 ( USD $0.35) for entrance. Take the right path
once you’re in the forest area. Walk until you find a 2nd T-junction, keep to
your right to find a ground surface area ( not coral stones path). Head
straight to the steps that leads you to pine forest with 2 choices ahead, the
right one for the Dutch fort and the left one to climb the mountain
upward.
