Central Bogor Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Kawah Ratu

Hiking trails, world-beating and dramatic view, this is why you should put Kawah Ratu (Ratu Crater) to your travel bucket list. This crater is located on Mount Salak, which is part of the Mount Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS). There are three official routes to reach Kawah Ratu, including the Gunung Bunder Camping Ground, Pasir Reungit, and Cangkuang Camping Ground. The Pasir Reungit route is the most favorite, because it has a shorter hiking trail only 3.6 km and takes time about 2-3 hours. Kawah Ratu is perfect for hiking lovers because the track is quite challenging. Every now and then you have to walk in a small river that has clear water, uphill slopes, and vibrant greenery. If you and your group are afraid of to hike through the forest, you can ask a guide to take you to get there. You just stay behind and let your footprints become tiny dots leave you. Your effort will be paid off until you reach final corner into the hot spring. Arriving there, you will be greeted by a puff of smoke, coming out of the mouth of the crater. This vibe is what many tourists are hunting to take photos there. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

The waterfall falls from a height of 40 meters and the water flow is quite heavy. Curug Cibeureum is one of the more challenging waterfalls to get to, it takes about 1,5 – 2 hours to get to the waterfall with a distance of 1 kilometer, but the view on the way to the waterfall is very refreshing and beautiful. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

SEA's Longest Suspension Bridge

Brace yourself because you were about to hike, hike, and hike on rugged terrains leading to the bridge. I didn’t know the exact distance between the front gate and the bridge, but it took us around half an hour or so to finally, finally see the famed bridge. The so-called SEA’s Longest Suspension Bridge. And the bridge, well, it was.. some bridge. I mean, of course, it’s an extraordinary one, nothing like I have seen before. It was one long bridge, sometimes shaky, but somehow looked strong enough to have tons of people walking on it. The moment I finally walked on the bridge, I realized why people were drawn to this kind of attraction. The big shaky bridge offered a stunning view of lush forest. I could not help myself but to feel in awe towards this grand, breathlessly exquisite, richest woodland. Well, make no mistake, while I was feeling in awe, I also feared for myself that I would fall off the bridge. I mean, you would feel the turbulance along the way. It was undeniably shaky when a hundred people walking on the same long bridge at the exact same time. You would feel that you are going to fall off every single time you took another step on the bridge. However, I suggest you keep on going, because at the end of it, you would realize that this breathtaking view was worth every turbulance you felt along the way. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

Curug Sawer

By the time we got there. The waterfall is very much less crowded. This waterfall is already famous within Sukabumi people, but may be less popular for tourists. The water was indeed very freezing but it would be a loss to not play with the water! So it’s better to bring out some extra clothes in case, there’s already a decent toilet around the area. So beautiful, rich and refreshing, with height of 35 meters. As an additional activity you can do tubing on the river here. The waterfall was also somewhat calming. Yep, no kidding, it was indeed somewhat calming and strikingly alone in the forest. If only there weren’t so many people taking full-body photo of themselves in front of the waterfall. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

Bogor Botanigal Gardens, West Java, Indonesia

At first this garden would only be used as an experimental garden for plantation crops to be introduced to the Dutch East Indies. However, in its development, the establishment of the Bogor Botanical Gardens can be said to have started the development of science in Indonesia and as a forum for scientists, especially in the field of botany in Indonesia, in an organized manner at that time (1880 - 1905). #bogor #bogorbotanicalgardens #kebunrayabogor #indonesia #indonesiaforrest #indonesiagardens #indonesiatourism #indonesiatravel

The oldest Botanical Garden in Indonesia from around 1815. Still beautiful but really need some basic improvement : garden map covering point of interests, routes etc, clean toilets, dust bins, clear signs, tour guides, etc. The traffic to main entrance could be so bad during Sunday and holiday. So please be aware on your schedule. Still found many visitors smoking inside the garden, ruined the experience. Some of the board containing information of the point of interest already worn out and we cannot read it. Located in centre of bogor, botanical garden easy to find in regular traffic condition. 84 Ha area of botaninical garden have a various theme park. Good place for refreshing and enjoying with kid. #urbanexplorer #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel

Bogor botanical garden is the first botanical garden in Indonesia. It lies in the heart of Bogor. There are 2 orchid houses near the café. The newer one is full with commercial orchids such as phalaenopsis, dendrobium, and cattleya. The older one contains the ingenious orchids from rainforests all over Indonesia. Most of these orchids are smaller and they don’t bloom as often as the commercial ones, but they smell very nice. Another unique spot to see is the lotus ponds. They are hardly to miss because there are a few ponds scattered in this garden. The lotus has round giant leaves floating on the water. #springblossomjakarta #urbanexplorer #springblossoms #springblossoms#urbanexplorer

Bigland Hotel International & Convention Hall

#hotelreview This hotel should be a Five Star Hotel in Bogor (or not yet? Haha). We bring our 7-month daughter and we requested extra amenities such as bath bucket and crib, and they served it without charge (free!) As well as borrowing an iron, plates, bowl, spoon and fork were free as well.What a great service! I am feeling been served with pleasure in this hotel. Room was great both the interior, closet, bathroom, even the views is the directly to Mount Salak.The food for breakfast was great but can be upgraded by serving more variety of cuisine.The location is very strategic in my opinion, just 5-10 minutes away to Bogor downton/townsenter, and to Jagorawi Highway.Overall this is one of the best hotel for it prices in Bogor.overall IT ok

Bigland Hotel is very good

Very comfortable,..The location of the hotel is very strategic because it is in the Bogor city area. The hotel room was clean, the bathroom was OK and the service was satisfying. The breakfast menu is varied and tastes good too. On the rooftop of the hotel there is Koersi sky Cafe with a very beautiful view of the city of Bogor at night. Overall very comfortable at this Bigland hotel, highly recommended and definitely want to stay at this hotel again.
