Halimun-Salak National Park
-second trip (18-20 dec 2009)


This time we took another route. We met in Bubulak bus station in Bogor. Then, we took ankot (local transportation) to Leuwiliang. From Leuwiliang, we rented 4 Suzuki carry to Citalahab (a village in halimun). The route is a bit more comfortable than the route from kabandungan. The bumpy road is not as worse as Kabandungan route. The difference is if we take kabandungan route, we will see forest along the way to Cikaniki/Citalahab, while by taking leuwiliang route, we will see tea plantation.

We stayed in a homestay there. We had decent meals everyday. Thank to pak Agus, he’s our cook. Having him around us, we never ran out of food.

On our first day, we had night hiking to see the phosphorous fungus. On the second day, we spent the day by having jungle tracking and had a campfire at night. Before we went back home, we had a fun game with local children in the village. That was fun :))
