Long Journey to Cikelet

Cikelet is the name of small area in Garut. Who knows that the area which is just only recovered from the earthquake is very beautiful. Cikelet is located far from the center of the town, It takes ± 100 KM and needs around 4 hours to go there from the center of the town.


In the town, we can find a lot of stores that sell the typical food of Garut, called dodol. We will pass a lot of mounts when we go to Cikelet, such as; Mount Papandayan, Mount Cikuray, Dark Mount, Twins Mount, and many others. The name of Dark Mount is given bassed on the condition of the Mount. It is really dark, no lighting. When the sun went, the fog will go down and cover the way. It is dangerous to pass The Dark Mountain Around 07 p.m. until 02 a.m. There’s a story behind the stillness of The Dark Mountain. People say that in the past, the Dark Mountain is become the place to kill the people in the Orde Baru Era. We can also see the tea garden in our journey to Cikelet. As the others tea gorden, it is very beautiful. We can find the waterfall climb down the tea garden. It is amazing !


After a long journey, we will soon arrive at Cikelet. So many green rice fields there. Look so beautiful. There is also so many beautiful beaches, such as Karang Papak Beach. The beach is so clean and clear. The sand, the wave and the clear sky become a good combination and create a beautiful view there. It is very enjoyable after we faced the long journey.
