Introducing Cibodas & Cianjur

Cibodas, the next village over the Puncak Pass, is home to billions of pot plants for sale and the beautiful high-altitude extension of the Bogor botanical gardens, the Kebun Raya Cibodas (admission per person/per car 4000/6500Rp; 8am-6pm). It’s surrounded by thick tropical jungle on the slopes of the twin volcanoes of Gunung Gede and Gunung Pangrango. The gardens, which are bigger than Bogor’s, were originally planted in 1860 and now contain 1014 species. Beside the entrance to the gardens is the entrance to the Gede Pangrango National Park.

Cibodas has limited facilities and gets far fewer visitors than Cisarua, but it has fine scenery and excellent walks. Visitors must pay 2000Rp on entering the village.
