A well-known location – Locals have long known about the splendid views at our place. The view of up to 135 degrees ranges from the Bogor Botanical Gardens to the left, by way of the Puncak, to the former ranch of President Suharto in Tapos on the right. Our place is also known for its soaring hawk-eagles in search of prey. View the city lights of Bogor at night and the sunrise over Mt. Pangrango to the East.
Unusual Bio-Diversity is found in our botanical garden, including 2000 trees of over 200 local species, as well as another 250 kinds of medicinal herbs. Our diverse flora attracts diverse fauna. About 40 kinds of birds visit, and many other animals are seen here or in the nearby national park.
Our property is unique in providing so much bio-diversity. Normally, visitors must trek long distances on foot to reach patches of original forest with high bio-diversity.
A haven for nature lovers. Far from any crowds, this is THE place to refresh your body and mind. Amid an extraordinary tranquility, lounge on your own deck in a jungle lodge, while listening to birdsong, the croaking frogs and the endless rattle of cicadas. Sit under a waterfall as a stream of chill, crystal water cascades over you. Avoid the Puncak's annoying traffic jams.
