Trip to Pangandaran


Next morning I am going to Pangandaran Beach. We use a metromini bus directly to the beach and paid 25000 IDR. It is enough tired about 3 hours on the bus, passed through some cities such as: Ciamis, Banjar, and Pringsewu. Along the way we went up and down some hills.

Finally we reach Pangandaran at about 12.00 AM; it was a very hot day. By becak we entered the gate and must pay about 20000 IDR include ticket gate. Fortunately the becak drivers become our guide and give us more information about this place. He suggested us to rent a motorboat and journey around the gulf. Without think more, we ask a motor boat to deliver us and reach “ Pananjung”. It is a natural heritage site. Before we drop at “Pasir Putih beach”, we had gone around Pangandaran Gulf. The rental fee is about 120000 IDR, but I am advising you about this price. You must make a negotiation first and free of a tricky way of the motorboat drivers.

After feel enough, we drop at Pananjung Natural Heritage to go swimming and watching sea Garden Park on there. There are many diving tool rental, they offer snorkel for diving. If you want make tattoos, you can pay an artist to make your tattoo. While you feel hungry, there are many people offer some food like “Pecel” a traditional vegetables salad. Or if you just want to drink only, you can buy tea, coffee or other soft drink.

In Pananjung Heritage, you can find many monkeys. They are enough familiar with visitors. You can directly interact with them. You can feed the monkey some nuts. You should not feel afraid, because they are very welcome to you. Just a note, Pangandaran is a very famous beach in west java. It is not a wrong if Pangandaran had been called as the second of Bali of Indonesia.

I am very pleasure in this trip, because I can do many activities such as: swimming, surfing, boating, tanning, and get funs with the monkeys. But unfortunately this evening we must go to Mahoning. We had another program on there. I fell, it was not yet enough to visit Pangandaran and their object tourism on there. I wish you stop at http://www.infopangandaran.com and get more complete information about this place. In Pangandaran you can spend time for shopping. There are many souvenirs counter along the way around the beach. Ok I must go to Majenang. Let you follow me, because I will post about Majenang City. (Written by Aji and his lovers Joe)
