Whenever you travel to the east
destination of West Java, for example, Pangandaran and decide to visit another
destination along the journey, don’t forget to visit Garut, a city known for
dodol (traditional chewy candy), Batik Garutan (a fabric with traditional motives), vetiver handicrafts and the great breed of sheep (Domba Garut). You’ll get there after a
tired 5 hours land journey from Jakarta and, you might need a transit to take

Rejoice in a wonderful scene |
Enjoying
scenery, such as sunrise, is one of activities which you can carry out at Batu Karas beach.
In approximately an hour away from Pangandaran or 11 to 12 hours from Jakarta, you will discover a beautiful fishermen village with extraordinary coastal panorama. Batu Karas is the name of the village where there is a beach with surf spots known as the long board heaven. You don't have to be worried for some holes caused by the damage along the road from Pangandaran if you plan your holiday for the next several months, as the construction to fix it is still running while I'm writing this article.

Enjoying sunrise at Batu Karas |
Eventhough
I’m 100 % Indonesian, there are more
traveling destinations available than I able to count. I’m not sure I would
have visit those destinations in my lifetime, I wish I could, considering
Indonesia is the largest archipelago nation in the world with a lot of
diversities.
When
it comes to a large number of traveling destination, it is important to gain
some information related to the destination in planning your getaway. ‘What are
the possible routes ?’, ’is there any cheap hotel or homestay ?’, ‘How’s the
food ?‘ are some of the questions which have to be concern in planning your
travel. In accordance to those need, my blog, sundabeach.blogspot.com, provides
some of those information and I try the best I could to present it to you.
