This 40.000 hectare wilderness forms the largest remaining primary rain forest in Java. The park consists of three types of ecosystems, namely lowland forest, sub-montane forest and montane forest. Typical annual rainfall varies between 4,000 - 6,000 mm/year. The wet season occurs from October to April, with precipitation around 400-600 mm/month. Even in the so-called "dry season", June to September, rainfall is usually in excess of 200 mm/month.
Over half the forest occurs in the altitudinal range 1,000-1,400 m. Dominant tree species are the huge rasamala (Altingia excelsa), the puspa (Schima walichii), and oaks (Lithocarpus). Smaller laurel trees (Litsea spp.) also make up an important constituent.

Epiphytes are numerous, orchids making a substantial contribution. Woody climbers, termed lianas, are well represented and include the very spiny rattans. The high rainfall gives rise to a rich community of ferns and mosses. Palms, rhododendrons, tree ferns and rare mistletoes all add to the area's high botanical value.
Mount Halimun National Park offers quiet areas for recreation and eco-tourism. Activities include walking, both gentle and strenuous, and observing animals or the rich flora. There is simple opportunity for photography or just simple enjoyment of the natural scenery. Eight waterfalls can be explored.

Cadas Belang: This deep ravine lies near the south-east boundary; a guide is necessary.
On the eastern side near the main gate of Cipeuteuy are several agricultural plantations. Within an enclave of the park is Nirmala Tea Estate. Visitors are welcame here, as they are at nearby Cianten and Pandanarum.

In Gunung Halimun National Park (also in West Java) many of the paths are unclear, the price of guides is controlled by the GH Enterprises (Rp 15,000 per day per guide and Rp 10,000 per day per porter), and all visitors are encouraged to hire a guide. This ensures that more local guides find employment in tourism within the park.

Vogelbeobachterhinweis zum Park (Auszug, Sommer 2002):
This park has an area of 40.000 ha and is located south west of Bogor. From Bogor take the Sukabumi road to the south until Purungkuda. Here you will find a sign to the park on your right side. Follow this sign until you reached the village of Cipenteng/Kabandungan. Distance Bogor-Kabandungan is 67 km. Here you will find the park headquarters (PHPA-office) where you can get the permits to enter the park. From here it is another 23 km along a dirt track to the park. The visitor centre, also named Cikaniki Research Station, is located in Cikaniki in the eastern part of the park. From the visitor centre there are a few trails going into the forest. Staying in the visitor centre is expensive. In Citalahab, less then two kilometres from the visitor centre, there are cheaper losmen available. You can also hire one of the villagers as a guide. It is even not allowed to go into the forest without a guide. There is a trail starting behind the lodges and lead to the visitor centre. We birded along this trail and also along the loop and the waterfall trail. There were a lot of researchers working at the moment of our visit and most of the trails were closed due to research work. Also the Gunung Kentang trail was closed. Others birded along this trail and they found it one of the best trails in the park.

Lying just to the south and east (!) of Jakarta, West Java is often the first stop on visitors itineraries, and also a popular week-end getaway to those living in the capital.
While it lacks the impressive ancient Hindu-Buddhist monuments found further east, West Java compensates with her scenic beauty. This is the island's wettest and most mountainous province, offering lush, green landscapes wherever one looks.
The two major cities, Bandung and Bogor are mostly colonial creations, but little-known Cirebon on the north coast is Java's oldest court centre.
The people of West Java are ethnically Sundanese, distinct from the Javanese living in the other provinces. They have a distinct culture all their own, and have contributed the famous "wayang golek" puppets to Indonesia's culture.

The city of Bogor, in the hills just south of Jakarta is the usual first stop of most visitors to the province. Famous for its enourmous botanical gardens right in the centre, Bogor in fact makes a pleasant alternative to staying in Jakarta altogether.
East of Bogor,the Puncak Pass area is a popular weekend getaway for Jakartans, but its famous scenic beauty has now been much reduced by overdevelopment.
Not to be missed in this area is the village of Cibodas, home to high-altitude botanical gardens, and the easiest gateway to Indonesia's oldest national park, Gede-Pangrango, which offers the chance to see rare Javan birds and primates in addition to great volcanic scenery.
The scenery is even better in remote and little-visited Gunung Halimun National Park to the south, where pristine forests alternate with tea-plantations and traditional Sundanese villages.
Further south is the popular but scruffy beach resort of Pelabuhanratu, and further still is much more quiet Ujung Genteng, popular with surfers, and the best spot to see sea-turtles on Java.
The provincial capital Bandung is another popular stopover for tourists - and a grossly overrated one, I would say. Once known as the "Paris of Java" for its beautiful colonial architecture, it has now grown into a rather dirty, smoggy, ugly and crowded metropolis with no obvious attractions.
Bandung is often claimed to be a centre of Sundanese culture, but that is by all accounts better preserved further east around the towns of Garut and Tasikmalaya. Here the village of Kampung Naga is a museum piece of traditional Sundanese life, and small Candi Cangkuang is West Java's best preserved ancient Hindu temple.
The typical tourist trail also includes the south coast beach resort of Pangandaran just before the Central Java border, though you probably won't miss much if you only go there for the boat-ride through the wetlands to Cilacap.
This itinerary bypasses the historic town of Cirebon on West Java's northern coast, which is the oldest of Java's court centres, predating more famous Yogyakarta and Solo, and has three old palaces to prove the fact. Cirebon is also an important Muslim pilgrimage site and a centre for producing some of Java's best batik, plus the best gateway to Gunung Ciremai, recently declared the province's latest national park.

In short, if you love nature and history, West Java has much to offer away from the popular Bogor-Puncak-Bandung-Pangandaran tourist-track. If you make an effort to see some of its less-known gems, you won't regret it for sure!
