Easy Going BogorDue to its high altitude, the climate in Bogor is a lot more comfortable than in Jakarta. It's peaceful and provincial here, and when you travel to Bogor you'll find that it's a great place to relax after your long flight. Jakarta is a noisy and chaotic city which is why we recommend that you travel directly to Bogor instead and make a day trip back to Jakarta when you've regained your energy. If you choose our Wandering through cities and plantations West Java tour, you'll visit the metropolitan city of Jakarta for a day which, after all, should certainly be included in any comprehensive Java trip. |

Day 1: Jakarta airport - BogorOn arrival at Jakarta airport, you’ll travel to Bogor straight away, roughly a 2-hour drive east of Jakarta. Bogor is nestled in between two volcanoes at 270m higher than Jakarta which means it has a more comfortable climate than Jakarta. The cooler climate makes it a popular weekend retreat for Indonesians looking to escape the busy city, which you'll notice particularly on Sundays. It's really well worth it to travel to Bogor for this relaxing West Java tour in beautiful surroundings. You will spend the night in our comfortable hotel. |

Day 2: Bogor botanical gardensDuring your stay in Bogor, you’ll visit the town with a guide. The Kebun Raya (botanical gardens) are the most important attraction, and your travel to Bogor is not complete without a visit. This immense park is home to more than 15,000 tropical plants and trees as well as lush green lawns, lotus ponds and greenhouses with over 5000 orchids.Following the little streets, paths and a footbridge you’ll walk down to the river to a workshop where they make traditional wayang dolls. These handmade wooden dolls are used in a type of puppet theatre telling the story of Ramayana. The friendly workshop owner will be more than happy to show you around. During this West Java tour to Bogor, you'll also visit a gamelan instrument factory. It’s very interesting to see the whole production process because you're very likely see a gamelan orchestra playing at some point on your trip. You'll definitely catch it if you’re visiting the kraton in Yogyakarta. You'll spend another night in your hotel in Bogor. |
