Tea Plantation - Ciaten Bogor

Many say, the area Puncak Bogor is not natural and is not as good as the past. Perhaps this influence of modernization that penetrated the cool area. A large development is not suitable allotment, congestion everywhere, many roadside stalls of the scene, at least make people a little breast stroke. Peak area is not so good the past. But even so, the area remains the top excellent, especially of capital, for vacationing.

If you bored with the atmosphere Peak region that is identical with the tea garden and want to feel the atmosphere that is almost the same location and still in Bogor district, there is a tea plantation, located in the southwest Bogor regency, which borders directly with Sukabumi, that is not less beautiful with Puncak area, the tea plantation Cianten.

Tea plantations which are managed by PTPN VIII is located in the Village Purasari, Leuwiliang District, Bogor Regency, about 60 km from the city of Bogor to the west which can take 3-4 hours of the city center. If you want to try agro tour of this area are advised to bring private vehicle (car or motorcycle) to make it easier to cope with the difficulty of transportation and the general location of the vehicle.
From bogor, we can refer to the vehicle Leuwiliang / Jasinga. Before arriving in the market Leuwiliang, Karacak the fork, turn left and follow the road to the PLTA Karacak. From this fork to the Village Puraseda we are still enjoying the comfort of driving because the good road will accompany during travel. But after that, do not wish the good road. The pavement was smooth, because the rainy season began but is still damaged vehicles are eligible.

Along this path we do not hope will find shops and restaurants as well as in the Peak area. However, the scenery along the road, track no less interesting than the top-right-left shows scenic hilly road and entered a thick forest that is still virgin. But chill out, in this path we will not find a bottleneck as in Puncak. How would misfire, of course are still rare.

Before the trip to this place, make sure the vehicle in prime condition because it is difficult to meet when entering the garage path Cianten. Make sure your vehicle tires are also good and worthy life, it will not be found craftsman tires glue along the road. Do not forget also, make sure the gas tank full filled, feared out in the middle of the road. For, in this path we will not find a gas station, a gas fitter only have retail, it also is relatively rare because the road is dominated forests and hills. But that is the art trip to this region, especially for people who like adventures.

All obstacles during travel will be paid settled after entry Cianten tea plantation area. Beautiful scenery, tea plantations that carpet be, many natural atmosphere, as if to delete "sorrow" for travel. Like other plantation managed by PTPN, knowledgeable in the area with around 675 hectare there is also the storage, management offices, mosques, tea processing buildings, facilities and standards of the other. However, the general facility such as latrines, villa, mess, and so are not visible in this area.

What good Cianten than the peak? Can be spelled out, the area Cianten this is a combination of tea plantations and protected forest. Throughout the eyes look, knowledgeable carpet, surrounded by tea plantation forest protected National Park Halimun-Salak. Here also we will find a kind of cultural tourism. Residents in the vicinity of the plantation is not yet affected the culture of the city, so that daily life is still running some of the traditional. Wisdom and seriousness of the local plantation managers in managing this makes this place has a distinctive charm to visit.

From the tea plantation area Cianten this, we decide whether to stay home or continue straight trip to the tracks. If you continue the journey, we arrived in the area of National Park Mount Halimun-Salak, Sukabumi, or even to go through with the Pelabuhan Ratu direction takes about 1-2 hours travel more.

So, please enjoy the tour!
