Bagging It!

Mount Halimun is surrounded by the largest area of unspoilt rainforest in Java and the summit unsurprisingly lies within Gunung Halimun National Park. The hike to the summit (the round trip takes 8 hours) is best started at the north of the mountain in the village of Leuwijamang (at 800m) which lies an hour’s walk from the nearest road at Cisarua. To get there, take the main road which heads west from Bogor towards Rangkasbitung and turn left (south) at Cigudeg. “Gunung Halimun” means ‘mountain of mist’ in local Sundanese. Please note that hiking is not usually allowed in the National Park between December and March inclusive. Check the National Park website for more information.
