The town is surrounded by a series of mountains. They are: Mount Guntur, Mount Papandayan, Mount Cikuray, and Mount Galunggung. We decided to do a short trek on Mount Papandayan. The start of the trek was 1-1,5 hours away from Cipanas. We trekked until the Dead Forest and Mumun, my travel mate, decided that we should go a bit further to Edelweiss F...

Besides the fact that the layout, building and ambience are typical Balinese (I almost forget that we were in West Java), the staff were very attentive. I think it was the first time I got asked how I was feeling when I went for breakfast and also received...
