Tebing Gunung Hawu

Tebing Gunung Hawu, Bandung

Hang in the sky like Spiderman – Tebing Gunung Hawu

This mountain blows plenty of other mountains out of the water. Here’s where your superhero dreams come true, and “hanging out” takes on a completely different meaning.

For sunrise enthusiasts, Tebing Gunung Hawu boasts a fantastic viewpoint to watch the sun wake up for its morning duties. Better yet, you can catch that sunrise from your perch in a hammock, hanging precariously between two towering cliffsides. Has that image gotten your adrenaline running?

Hammocking was popularised by a group of locals in a bid to increase tourist activity in the area, – and thus prevent limestone miners from continuing to destroy Gunung Hawu’s environment. Mother Nature is pleased with you.

The mountain is also renowned for the massive “hole” that you can see in the middle of the mountain. It’s also the reason why the mountain was christened “Hawu”, which means “fireplace” in Sundanese.

Since you’re here, how can you pass up on snapping a picture with this rare sight? If you’re lucky, you might even catch the sunlight filtering in through the hole, creating an ethereal sight.

Tebing Gunung Hawu

Getting there: Tebing Gunung Hawu is located behind Tebing Citatah, the Singgalang limestone mountains, and will require a 30-minute trek from the latter. It is also accessible via four-wheeled vehicles.

Sanghyang Heuleut, Cipatat

Sanghyang Heuleut, Cipatat

A Divine Experience in Nature’s Hidden Paradise – Sanghyang Heuleut, Cipatat

Tucked away at West Bandung in a remote area of Cipatat, Sanghyang Heuleut is a small pond surrounded by large white cliffs, lush jungle and a small waterfall as the water source. It flows to the stream of Citarum river which is also part of a hydropower plant. Through geographic evaluation, Sanghyang Heuleut is deemed as a prehistoric pond that has existed through time.

Legend also has it that its secluded location was meant for the strategic bathing place for goddesses.

No wonder, the place was deemed “Sanghyang” which means “holy” while “heuleut” means “the space between 2 worlds”, which refers to how the holy place was reserved for divine beings. The pond itself definitely lives up to its reputation, as evident by the mythical surroundings and unexplainable beauty of its area. It simply is something so divine that you have to witness to believe.

Sanghyang Heuleut, Cipatat

Getting here : The best way to get there is by using the Saguling Hydro Power Plant ( PLTA Saguling) as the main reference, as the pond is just 5 kms away from it. The central giant pipe of the power plant is a good clue to start, walk towards the forest against the stream for about 1 km. You’ll pass the Sanghyang Poek cave, which means you’re now just 2 km away from Sanghyang Heuleut and Sanghyang Poek. Currently there’s no entrance fee, but you’ll have to pay parking fee prior to the walk in which is around Rp 8.000 or USD 0.5

Mount Papandayan

Hike and Camp to catch the Sunrise: Mount Papandayan, Garut

For most people, hiking up a mountain may sound like a task too challenging to conquer – you have to navigate through the difficult terrain and hostile weather, just to sleep in a tent and eat canned food.

But this is already considered a beginner’s mountain by many outdoorsmen, as you can reach the camping ground of mount Papandayan after only 2 hours of trekking. Once the tent has been set, hikers can wander off in the Edelweiss Meadows, also a great spot for watching the sunrise. Another beautiful spot is the Hutan Mati (Dead Forest), which is where a patch of forest and vegetation was burnt off during a volcanic eruption, leaving only tree trunks behind.

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.

Gunung Putri, Lembang

Gunung Guntur, Garut

Gunung Guntur, Garut

A Beauty Worth Conquering – Gunung Guntur, Garut

Gunung Guntur or Gunung Gede, as better known by locals is located in Garut – the home to several mountains with extraordinary views. Compared to other mountains in the area, Gunung Guntur is not particularly magnificent in height, but it does require a certain lengthy process and effort to reach. However, it doesn’t stop many visitors from making it a new favorite camping site in Garut. Dubbed by mountain climbing communities as the Rinjani of Garut, Gunung Guntur certainly has what it takes to be referred to the famously beautiful Lombok volcanic mountain. Other than the challenging track, it also has its own valleys, waterfalls, rivers, craters, and the panoramic sight of surrounding mountains. Eventually, all hard work pays off as this is one view definitely worth fighting for.

Gunung Guntur, Garut

Getting there : For starters, you’ll need to take the bus heading to Garut or Singaparna which stops at Tanjung gas station. Once you alight, hop on one of the many passing trucks heading upwards to its climbing post, both truck driver and post guard require only a small fee ( less than Rp 10.000 or USD $1) . Once you’ve passed the post, it is another 45 minutes off-road ride and a long walk to finally climb to the top of Gunung Guntur.

The contours of other adjacent mountains also gives a completely exquisite bliss of looking at the vast soft cotton carpet made entirely by nature.

Gunung Ciremai, Majalengka (Mount Cereme)

Getting there: Generally there are 2 routes to get to Ciremai, Palutungan or Majalengka and Linggarjati. One that is more recommended and safer is the Majalengka path, especially for amateurs. There is also the Apuy path at Argamukti village which is favored for its gorgeous view along the way.

Gua Sanghyang Tikoro & Sanghyang Poek, Cipatat

Gua Sanghyang Tikoro & Sanghyang Poek, Cipatat

Exploring the Dynamic Duo of Caves – Gua Sanghyang Tikoro & Sanghyang Poek, Cipatat

Sanghyang Tikoro and Sanghyang Poek are essentially the parts of the charming area of Cipatat or Saguling Hydro Power Plant, along with Sanghyang Heuleut. Both caves are placed in the same area which is overflowing with clear water and breathtaking surroundings. Sanghyang Tikoro which means the holy throat is a deep cave with an underground river stream. It is believed to have formed by the cooling down of lava during a major eruption, while the water slowly eroded and shaped the stalactites cave. Similarly, Sanghyang Poek is also a cave just 15 minutes away from Tikoro, and a part of the area’s famed tourist spot. The landscape is slightly different as it’s diagonally shaped or slanted. Traveling inside the cool cave, you will experience dripping water and pitch black darkness before emerging to the other side. Our verdict? Definitely worth exploring!

Coral Rocks at the Top of a Mountain: Goa Pawon and Stone Garden of Padalarang

After a 20-minute hike up Mount Pasigit, there lies the mouth of Goa Pawon (Pawon Caves), a significant historic site where ancient human remains (now on display in Bandung’s Museum Geologi) were found.

Take a few steps further towards the peak of the mountain and you will find an array of calcium-rich rocks, which are usually found along a beach. Scientists believe that there once existed a sea stretching from Padalarang to Negreg, with Bandung lying hundreds of metres underwater. The theory is that a few volcanic eruptions later caused the valley to be formed. Here, you can find seashells embedded on the rocks – bizarre indeed! Since not many people know about this spot yet, make sure you bring your own water as there are no warungs open at the venue (as of now!).
