The Beautiful of Garut

The Beauty of Garut in West Java .holiday for the citizens of Jakarta to Bandung is a recreation that is often done , but a lot of people in Jakarta are not many who traveled to Garut when the distance from Bandung to Garut only 1 hours drive . If London is known as Paris Van Java because many distributions and clothing outlets here , but in Garut known since time immemorial as Garut Switzerland van Java . named like this because of the natural and cultural Garut very beautiful , lots of objects are very beautiful attractions here . weather was cool , surrounded by mountains and rice fields are very beautiful so it is not wrong if the person calling the Swiss Van Java Garut .

The natural beauty is what makes Garut referred to as Switzerland van Java .Garut is known as a destination that has a lot of natural hot springs , the Sundanese culinary maknyus , leather craft is so well known for the quality of arrowroot sheep here are very nice, and of course the stunning natural beauty . among the many tourist sites in Garut , there are 2 of my favorite places is Talaga Bodas ( white crater ) and the volcano . The second location is the destination of some of the many destinations in Garut .

Talaga Bodas dazzling 

Talaga Bodas means ' Ponds White ' . maybe we are never to Pangalengan London sights White crater , then in Garut was no White Talaga Bodas Crater . the persons named White crater because the same shape as that in Canning , but very different . I think White crater located in Garut is better, because there are so many trees and a dry cleaner , but it is also here there is a natural hot spring and the location for trekking .The beauty of Telaga Bodas Crater Whiteness called Garut .Talaga Bodas is located in the Village District of Wanaradja Sukamenak Garut , a trip to the White crater Garut is not difficult . By using a two-wheeled vehicle ( if using angutan city , Baraya can ride public transportation terminal Thunder - Sukawening ) , Garut mileage of about 14 km and from Wanaradja to location 6 km , travel time is only about an hour. The road to Crater Talaga Bodas also relatively good , there are only a few small sections of cobblestone roads , but still safe . keep in mind the road from Garut to the White crater is broken , the fastest 1 hour and a maximum of 2 times .because of damage to roads before arriving at the location , we will not get bored because it offered a beautiful natural scenery . the left side of the valley we can see clearly Mount Sidahurip Pyramid is said to be latent , whether or not a myth is true what does this mountain looks looks like a Pyramid . towards Talaga Bodas we must pass through a hilly land with a fairly high steepness . Residents around using them like a vegetable garden cabbage and tomatoes . While Talaga Bodas Crater itself shaped lake with a white puff of smoke soared .

Natural hot spring located at Talaga Bodas .once it gets to the parking location in Talaga Bodas , we have to walk approx 15 minutes to the crater . If you want to visit Talaga Bodas , should prepare to eat and drink supplies . But if just for a coffee and enjoy roasted corn , around Talaga Bodas Crater tourist attractions , there are a few stalls that also provide it . until we could take a picture after picture this location , but must be careful because there are some hot quicksand around the site of the crater .Mount Sidahurip which supposedly is buried Pyramid , how according to you ? not similar ?
Trees and Leaves were burned in the volcano .Enjoy the ascent of the volcano with the charm of natural beauty is astounding , the volcano is the southernmost mountain of a row of mountains that extend from the southern city of Bandung . This volcano is a mountain that is very popular , well known for their beauty and uniqueness of some of the volcano . For tourists who want to climb the volcano , there are several paths that can be passed and adopted . Ie from Canning and Cisurupan Garut district .

The beauty of the crater at the volcano .If we want to climb more quickly can be taken from Cisurupan , is due to the condition of the asphalt is good enough of bawahsampai peak . So that the land transport can accelerate the ascent , but the road stopped in the main square Salada . Because here we are required to hire a guide to lead us for the next trip , especially those who have never come into the volcano . During the trip to enjoy the natural beauty of our eyes , we can see the charred trees and ground hot smoke dicelah mountain rocks . Amid the trip to the summit of the volcano , we can see the unique and natural phenomena . That blast of hot steam coming out of the bowels of the earth , we can immortalize the moment through photos. But be careful to land soft and unstable , after which we will pass the lake of color . Green natural lake and remove the smell of gas is very dense . when she reached the peak of the volcano there is a sense of excitement when we achieve it , as though we were above the clouds . In addition to the natural beauty of flora contained many dipuncak volcano, which Edelweiss flowers , flowers that are rare and only grows in a certain place and a certain altitude because not every flower covered mountains nicknamed the Eternal flowers . That never wilt and has a distinctive aroma .

The natural beauty combined by natural heat of the volcano .This tourist spot visited by many photos as we could climb down and up for one day only , you leave early in the morning of Bandung . And after you climb up to the top of the mountain in the afternoon , after enjoying the beauty of nature you can go back in the afternoon . So it is in accordance with the family recreation , your role is also needed because of the volcano is still considered active mountain . This mountain has erupted some time ago and put out hot clouds thick enough , thus damaging the habitat of flora and fauna around the mountain . Damages incurred by the eruption of the volcano to create their own unique view of the volcano , if you kebandung or arrowroot . Do not miss this beautiful tourist Nature .
