Badega Gunung Parang — Attraction in West Java

One word, beautiful. There are several ways to climb the mountain and you'll be given a chance to choose the height you want to climb. The tallest being 900m and the shortest being 300m (this info may not be valid in the future as there may be changes). I took the 350k package (includes the 300m rock climbing, a night in the cottage there, as well as 2 meals served on the next day during bfast (pre-climbing) and lunch (post-climbing). My overall experience was wonderful and it's pretty much unforgettable

The Cottage : It's a very traditionally built cottage, doesn't have a lot of artificial lightning (u've gotta depend on the natural light from the window). It is somewhat clean though there are a lot of red ants all over the floor. Beddings are comfortable, same goes for the pillows and blankets. They actually gave us so many blankets so no need to worry about freezing at night. Bathroom works well and is pretty clean. But the bidet we got was in fact broken so that's something to keep in mind. The electricity kept dying the whole night so I'd suggest you to bring an emergency lamp as well as a powerbank.

The Climb : You have to watch your own safety though they do provide a good safety equipment (harness, cap, ropes, and carabiners). The guide's very friendly and caring to each climber.

The Food : Perfecto it was good, fits just right on my palate.

Overall Experience : 9/10. Totally recommended if you are looking for a rock climbing activity in west java!

Untuk kedatangan, bisa reservasi terlebih dahulu lewat whatsapp mereka di nomor 081322117942. Minimal 2 orang utk memulai pendakian. Sebaiknya mulai pendakian sepagi mungkin (sekitar jam 6 pagi) karena jika matahari cukup terik, panasnya bisa sangat menguras energi dan cukup buat saya sakit kepala. Pakai pakaian yg menyerap keringat dengan mudah (bahan quick dry). Lengan panjang atau pendek sepertinya tergantung kenyamanan masing2 orang, tapi buat saya lengan panjang dan celana yg menutup lutut sangat membantu karena lutut sering tergesek batu dan menghindari terbakar matahari. Kacamata hitam dan sarung tangan juga sangat membantu terutama saat matahari terik dan bisa mengurangi potensi terluka saat pendakian. Bawa minum air putih/cairan isotonik/minuman manis utk memastikan tubuh terhidrasi. Saya bawa aqua 1.5 liter dan 1 botol kecil minuman manis masih merasa kurang hehe. Hasil dokumentasi guide kami bagus sekali (Kang Baban), puas deh difoto2in tanpa diminta. Beliau sudah hafal spot yg bagus.. Agak sulit foto2 sendiri karena selama pendakian sebaiknya konsentrasi demi keselamatan diri. Mungkin agak sulit dijalani buat orang yang sangat takut ketinggian namun selama menjalani prosedur keselamatan harusnya aman2 saja. Turun lebih sulit dari pada naik hehe siap2 lututnya ya.. Di basecamp sebelum pendakian, ada kamar mandi yg cukup bersih utk mandi, ada jual minuman juga, dan bisa titip barang yg tidak dibawa ke atas. Akses jalan menuju lokasi cukup rusak, sebaiknya bawa mobil dengan kapasitas memadai (kalau bisa jangan sedan).

Overall, saya merekomendasikan trip ini.. Guide (Kang Baban) sangat menolong selama proses pendakian. Terima kasih Badega...
