Day 3. Green Canyon
Body rafting and swimming at The
Green Canyon (Cukang Taneuh). It’s 15 minutes from your hotel to the port and
another 15 minutes by boat to the canyon. The boat will wait for you, but extra
time will cost you extra charge.
Day 4. Citumang/ Green Valley
Go to Citumang/ Green Valley. The
road is bumpy along the journey and it will cost you an hour travel time.
Explore the river amidst tropical rainforest. Regular route is available, but
you can go to the hidden location. Ask a local guide to take you there. It’s a
way up – to – the – hill journey;
slippery path; but it will be paid off when you get there, the beautiful Green
Valley.
Day 5. Batu Karas Beach
Help fishermen pulling their net to
gather fresh catchs. Buy fishes directly from the fishermen and cook it for
your lunch.
Day 6
Back to Jakarta, or, perhaps
another destination.
