Papandayan Sunrise Trek & Dead Forest - Private Tour

Unique Treking Experience for the Inexperienced

Memorable experience. The trek to see sunrise is like a "virgin trek" , challenging, a bit scary, but all of us were elated when we reached the top. And we were rewarded with having the place all to ourselves to take photos ( btw, we are a group of women in our fifties with moderate fitness level) . Thereafter, we hiked down slightly to see the Golden crater , and were guided to go really close to it. However, we didn't expect the last leg to the Dead Forest is a long climb of 500 steps with some steep parts. While it is said that Mount Papandayan is beginners friendly, one should still have good level of fitness or be trained for the climb. Our backup plan was to take the motorbike services should our legs "give ways" :) Rangga - the trip coordinator - is responsive , and helpful. We took the high speed train from Jarkata and were picked up from Tegalluar train station directly followed by a 3-hour drive to reach Garut without glitches. Accommodation wise, we find their home stay a bit tight for the five of us, but I believe they would be able to recommend alternatives.
