Hello all how are you?
Finally I decided to go home. Bandung. After four months I didn't come home. today i go home. I called my friend to meet and play. The first place I visited was the Hawu Cliff (Tebing Hawu). I have done coverage in this place. There are four stories I made about this place.
In the last four years, this place has become a tourist spot that triggers adrenaline. Usually this place is only used for rock climbing. Even, this place is a favorite place for rock climbing athletes. However, this place does a lot of unique activities. One of them, the raising of the red and white flag on this cliff. The flag was flying very big. only done by rock climbing athletes and other communities.
This cliff is located in Padalarang, West Bandung, Indonesia. Quite difficult to access this place. You need vehicles such as motorbikes and cars to reach this place. Currently, this place is open to everyone. But, you need courage to try the game in this place. The name of this game is Slackline. This game is getting popular in Bandung now. This is a game for nature lovers.
Hawu Cliff is where Slackline inhabits. In addition to Slackline, you can try a hammock installed between high cliffs. You will have an amazing experience. But for those of you who are afraid of heights, you don't need to try this game. Just enjoy the view in this place.
Back to discussing this place. This place is a hill of karts rock. This place is proof that this region is an ocean. In addition to rock climbing, this place can also be used for camping. For those of you who need natural air, this place can be an alternative for you to camp. This place is very impressive. There are many exotic views that you can enjoy in this place.
There are many photo spots in this place. You will see green forest, green rice fields and farmers. This place is a beautiful hill. If you come in the morning, you will be able to enjoy the amazing sunrise. If you come home in the afternoon, you can enjoy the beautiful sunset. This place is not inferior to the views of Mount Bromo and Dieng.
How about the ticket price? For those of you who want to climb a cliff, you need to spend IDR. 100,000. For those of you who want to try sitting on a hammock that stretches between cliffs, you need to pay 150,000. You don't need to worry, this place is open from 08.00 am to 06.00 pm. For those of you who have been rock climbing athletes, you must try this place.
I once discussed slackline, a very extreme game. If you've ever done this, you don't need to try this. This game is for experts only. How is this game done? You just have to walk to the top of the other end of the cliff. The game is played over 50 meters above the ground. If you have a history of altitude, I recommend not trying this game.
For hammocking, you can try it. Hammock is a swing whose base is made of special cloth or net. This tour, turned out to be a sensation in itself to try. For those of you who are trying this game for the first time, the manager already has security standards. So you don't have to worry about trying hammocking.
I want to tell you about this place. This place has a tunnel that can connect this cliff to Pawon Cave. Pawon Cave is one of the historical sites in Indonesia. There is a lot of history left in the cave. There are many kitchen utensils in the cave. However, this tunnel does not yet have a name.
Only from research can try this tunnel. I've never tried this place either. How long is this tunnel? This tunnel has a length of one kilometer, you will need three hours to walk in this tunnel. The researchers needed five liters of kerosene as fuel for the torch. The mouth of the tunnel is very small. So, you need to be careful if you want to try this tunnel.
From interviews I've done, this tunnel is very close to human fossils that have been found in this place. But, it needs to be studied further with the experts. I don't know how the research is today. Hopefully we can find other fossils in this place. I'm happy, this place found ancient human fossils. This shows, if the place where I live has history.
The journey to the cliffs of Hawu is indeed tiring. It's like a sport to me. Normally, I could scream as freely as I could in this place. Because, in this place nothing will stop you from screaming. The farmers will only wave when you finish shouting. Have I ever tried the game in this place?
Of course not. I'm afraid of heights. I just enjoy the view in this place. I also chat with my old friend. Oh yes, this place is always cared for and maintained by a community called the "Badot Tribe". Their agenda is mountain cleaning and rock climbing. A long time ago, this place would have been a factory. This community tried to demonstrate to entrepreneurs to leave this place.
I have a tip for you to go to this place. You just need to wear a shirt and jeans to play in this place. You don't need to rush to this place. You can use sports shoes to get to this place. The most important thing is sunscreen. Because your skin will burn if you don't use sunblock. Don't forget, you bring your own water and food. Because this place is very remote.
