Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon terletak di bagian paling barat Pulau Jawa , Indonesia . Kawasan taman nasional ini pada mulanya meliputi wilayah Krakatau dan beberapa pulau kecil di sekitarnya seperti Pulau Handeuleum dan Pulau Peucang dan Pulau Panaitan . Kawasan taman nasional ini mempunyai luas sekitar 122.956 Ha; (443 km² di antaranya adalah laut), yang dimulai dari Semenanjung Ujung Kulon sampai dengan Samudera Hindia . Ujung Kulon merupakan taman nasional tertua di Indonesia yang sudah diresmikan sebagai salah satu Warisan Dunia yang dilindungi oleh UNESCO pada tahun 1991 , karena wilayahnya mencakupi hutan lindung yang sangat luas. Sampai saat ini kurang lebih 50 sampai dengan 60 badak hidup di habitat ini. Pada awalnya Ujung Kulon adalah daerah pertanian pada beberapa masa sampai akhirnya hancur lebur dan habis seluruh penduduknya ketika Gunung Krakatau meletus pada tanggal 27 Agustus 1883 yang akhirnya mengubahnya kawasan ini kembali menjadi hutan . Tiket masuk ke Taman Nasional ini dapat diperoleh di kantor Balai Taman Nasional di Labuan atau di pos Tamanjaya. Fasilitas penginapan terdapat di desa Tamanjaya, Pulau Handeuleum dan Pulau Peucang. Untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pengelolaan Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon sebagai Situs Warisan Alam Dunia , UNESCO telah memberikan dukungan pendanaan dan bantuan teknis. Sejarah dan Status Kawasan Logo Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon Kawasan Ujung Kulon pertama kali dijelajahi oleh seorang ahli botani Jerman , F. Junghuhn , pada tahun 1846 , untuk keperluan mengumpulkan tumbuhan tropis. Pada masa itu kekayaan flora dan fauna Ujung Kulon sudah mulai dikenal oleh para peneliti. Bahkan perjalanan ke Ujung Kulon ini sempat masuk di dalam jurnal ilimiah beberapa tahun kemudian. Tidak banyak catatan mengenai Ujung Kulon sampai meletusnya gunung Krakatau pada tahun 1883 . Namun kemudian kedahsyatan letusan Krakatau yang menghasilkan gelombang Tsunami setinggi kurang lebih 15 meter, telah memporak-porandakan tidak hanya pemukiman penduduk di Ujung Kulon, tetapi juga menimpa satwa liar dan vegetasi yang ada. Meskipun letusan Krakatau telah menyapu bersih kawasan Ujung Kulon, akan tetapi beberapa tahun kemudian diketahui bahwa ekosistem-vegetasi dan satwaliar di Ujung Kulon tumbuh baik dengan cepat. Perkembangannya kemudian, beberapa areal berhutan ditetapkan sebagai kawasan yang dilindungi, secara berurutan. Tahun 1921 Berdasarkan rekomendasi dari Perhimpunan The Netherlands Indies Society for The Protectin of Nature, Semenanjung Ujung Kulon dan Pulau Panaitan ditetapkan oleh Pemerintah Hindia Belanda sebagai Kawasan Suaka Alam melalui SK Pemerintah Hindia Belanda Nomor : 60 Tanggal 16 November 1921. Tahun 1937 Besluit Van Der Gouverneur – General Van Nederlandch – Indie dengan keputusan Nomor : 17 Tanggal 24 Juni 1937 menetapkan status kawasan Suaka Alam tersebut kemudian diubah menjadi Kawasan Suaka Margasatwa dengan memasukkan Pulau Peucang dan Pulau Panaitan . Tahun 1958

The Park is located on the western tip of Java, Indonesia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the last remaining habitat of the critically endangered Javan rhinoceros. One of the best experiences you can have when in Indonesia. The park covers over 120,000 hectares and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including tigers, leopards, and various species of birds. You can either drive to the park or take a bus. Actually you need to take several buses and mini vans to get here. Once you arrive at the park, you can explore the park by hiking, boating, or camping. It is recommended to plan and make arrangements with park staff or local tour operators to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit.

I loved my visit here. However, I don't think it's for the people who don't want to explore or have seasick. The land trip took like 7 hours and the boat trip from Desa Sumur to Pulau Peucang took around 3 hours. Pulau Peucang was so beautiful. There are a lot of wild monkeys and they will try to steal your belongings and bring it to the woods on the island. Accommodation here was tricky. My homestay's electricity went off for like an hour when we arrived and the room me and my friends stayed in was so hot. We opened the windows but the mosquitoes started to attack us 😌 You should check out the savanna to see some wild bulls and peacocks, and try canoeing on Sungai Cigenter.

I was here in 2D 1N trip. It was very fun for learning about jungle in real life. Very recommended for family trip even we can find any of wild animal around our guest house such as monkey, monitor lizard, wild boar, and deer. We dont allowed for feeding them cause it can make them more hanging on human for some foods and not looking in the forest, especially monkey, they can robbed us if we bring some snack in plastic bag, it was a shocking moment 🙄. The waves in Pecang Island is kind of not that big, we can let our kids play on the beach while taking beautiful photos 📸 such a lucky me for having a great adventure in this beuatiful place, hope i can back there soon 😘

Awesome national park. Very exotic and full of wonderful exploration experiences. If you looking up for adventure experience and want to see animal wild life, this place is the RIGHT place. You can enjoy the forrest, beach, water and most of the all they have many animals here. If you lucky enough you can meet the majestic Javanese Rhinoceros here, they have around 67 Rhinoceros here. The people in here is very very kind and friendly, in the ranger post they even will served you foods and drinks for free.
