Bogor Puncak Pass

When Jakarta gets too hot to handle for me, I like to go to the higher elevation to get some cool weather. This place is called Bogor Puncak Pass. Puncak (= the summit in Indonesian) is located about 34 miles south from Jakarta. I enjoyed the wonderful ride along the tea plantations. You also can stop at its summit and enjoy the nice view while relaxing with a cup of freshly made tea.

The trick to beat the traffic is to try to go up there early in the morning , and leave during the early evening/evening. The Sunset o so beautiful and the sight of village lights and city light will take your breath away. But i should warn yo to avoid weekends. Why? because apparently the whole Jakartans think of the same thing and go to Puncak Pass for the weekend. ☺ Traffic jam and congestion is a nightmare. So traveling on the weekdays is best.

I recommend this place highly. The place can be very soothing and panoramic to for the eyes. It is very a different situation compared to the busy city of metropolitan Jakarta and Bekasi.

This is just one of the activities you can do on your travel to Bogor Indonesia. yeaaay!
