Puncak

Highland Retreat Above the Clouds

OVERVIEW

Puncak

Perched in the mountains south of Jakarta, Puncak is West Java's beloved highland escape. The winding road from the capital climbs through lush valleys to a cool plateau blanketed in tea plantations, flower gardens, and misty forests. At over 1,000 metres above sea level, the air is fresh and the pace slows instantly. Puncak has been a retreat for centuries -- from Dutch colonial officers seeking respite from the tropical lowlands to modern Jakartans escaping the weekend heat. The region offers a refreshing contrast to Indonesia's beach destinations, with dramatic mountain scenery, safari parks, and some of the country's finest tea estates.

Puncak offers a completely different side of Indonesia -- cool mountain air, verdant landscapes, and a tranquil pace. It is ideal as a day trip from Jakarta or as a restorative stop between city and coast. The tea plantation tours are a sensory delight, and the Taman Safari is one of Southeast Asia's best wildlife parks.
