LEMBAH PURBA - Natural Beauty From The Heights

Hello traveler!
How are you? I hope you are all healthy and happy.
Have you ever crossed a long bridge from a height?
If not, you can try one of the LEMBAH PURBA destinations in the Sukabumi area, Indonesia. What's there? Let's explore.

First, we decided to do this trip with just one day trip, because we didn't want to stay overnight and go home right after. Our trip started the night before, at 11 pm we gathered at the meeting point in the Cawang area, Jakarta. By deciding to use one bus, we prepared to travel to Situ Gunung, Sukabumi. The trip took approximately 4 hours, and on the way we used to sleep until we reached the location. Arriving at the location at 4 am, and we prepared to perform the dawn prayer. And rested for a while before starting the journey to the Lembah Purba.

At 6 am we gathered in front of the entrance to the tourist area to register. After registering we got a welcome drink containing tea with steamed bananas and warm sweet potatoes, perfect for the cold morning atmosphere. Some people choose to have breakfast with noodles and fried foods. The destinations we will visit are Flying Fox, Situ Gunung Suspension Bridge, Curug Sawer, Curug Kembar and Keranjang Sultan.

FLYING FOX

We started our first trip by taking a motorcycle taxi to Resto Wilujeung Sumping, where the 753-meter flying fox started. While waiting for my turn, I chose to immortalize myself by sitting and relaxing in the restaurant. The Flying Fox that we would ride was quite far away and was certainly treated to a very beautiful view from a height. With the lush trees and the beautiful lake, it added to the very beautiful impression. Very exciting and fun, making us addicted and wanting to repeat it again.

After doing the flying fox, we rushed to the 243 meter long bridge called Situ Gunung Suspension Bridge using a motorbike taxi like the first time we came.

SITU GUNUNG SUSPENSION BRIDGE

Situ Gunung Suspension Bridge is a bridge that is 243 meters long, 18 meters wide, and 161 meters high. This viral bridge has become a tourist attraction that is popular with young people. Through social media, this bridge has become crowded and many tourists flock to this place.

With the length and height of this bridge, it made us feel like we were floating and nervous. Because every time we stepped on the bridge it would sway and feel like we were going to fall. This sensation is highly recommended for those of you who like adrenaline tourism.

After the Situ Gunung Suspension Bridge, we headed to Curug Sawer and Keranjang Sultan.

CURUG SAWER

After walking quite far, we arrived at Curug Sawer. Don't worry about food because around this waterfall there are various kinds of food and snacks, there is a prayer room and also a toilet. Body Rafting is also provided here along the river.

This waterfall that stands firmly is very beautiful with the expanse of greenery around it, making this waterfall very beautiful and enchanting. Tourists can enjoy this waterfall very close because a bridge has been provided beside it.

We decided to take a short break and have lunch. With the provisions of meatballs brought by our friends, along with spicy chicken feet which are my favorite. We enjoyed the beauty of the river with a bowl of meatballs and accompanied by jokes together. After enjoying the food and the view of the river and the waterfall, we headed to the Sultan's Basket which was not far from where we were resting.

SULTAN'S BASKET

The Sultan's Basket is just a term for this tour, because the facility used is a chair shaped like a basket that will run across the river for 100 meters with beautiful scenery. Below we can see tourists who are doing body rafting along the river.

My friends and I queued because of the many visitors at that time. We queued for quite a long time, for about 1 hour. Until finally our turn came. I sat on the far left of the line so that the view was very clear.

After going through all the tour series, we headed to the exit and prepared to return to Jakarta and go home. Actually, there is still the Twin Waterfall tour which is the icon of the Lembah Purba, it's just that we didn't have enough time. Before reaching the exit, we passed the Red Bridge which is almost similar to the Situ Gunung Suspension Bridge earlier, only this is a short version and not so high but it is enough to pump our adrenaline. And don't forget we went through quite a challenging trekking to get to the exit.

Yeaaa finished our journey in the Lembah Purba, one of the tours that has been my wishlist all this time. I was really very happy and made a memory for the rest of my life. For those of you who are curious, you can come directly and prove for yourself the tension and excitement that you get from this trip.
