Kawah Ratu
Hiking trails, world-beating and dramatic view, this is why you should put Kawah Ratu (Ratu Crater) to your travel bucket list. This crater is located on Mount Salak, which is part of the Mount Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS). There are three official routes to reach Kawah Ratu, including the Gunung Bunder Camping Ground, Pasir Reungit, and Cangkuang Camping Ground. The Pasir Reungit route is the most favorite, because it has a shorter hiking trail only 3.6 km and takes time about 2-3 hours. Kawah Ratu is perfect for hiking lovers because the track is quite challenging. Every now and then you have to walk in a small river that has clear water, uphill slopes, and vibrant greenery.
If you and your group are afraid of to hike through the forest, you can ask a guide to take you to get there. You just stay behind and let your footprints become tiny dots leave you. Your effort will be paid off until you reach final corner into the hot spring. Arriving there, you will be greeted by a puff of smoke, coming out of the mouth of the crater. This vibe is what many tourists are hunting to take photos there.

SEA's Longest Suspension Bridge
Brace yourself because you were about to hike, hike, and hike on rugged terrains leading to the bridge. I didn’t know the exact distance between the front gate and the bridge, but it took us around half an hour or so to finally, finally see the famed bridge. The so-called SEA’s Longest Suspension Bridge.
And the bridge, well, it was.. some bridge. I mean, of course, it’s an extraordinary one, nothing like I have seen before. It was one long bridge, sometimes shaky, but somehow looked strong enough to have tons of people walking on it.
The moment I finally walked on the bridge, I realized why people were drawn to this kind of attraction.
The big shaky bridge offered a stunning view of lush forest. I could not help myself but to feel in awe towards this grand, breathlessly exquisite, richest woodland.
Well, make no mistake, while I was feeling in awe, I also feared for myself that I would fall off the bridge. I mean, you would feel the turbulance along the way. It was undeniably shaky when a hundred people walking on the same long bridge at the exact same time.
You would feel that you are going to fall off every single time you took another step on the bridge. However, I suggest you keep on going, because at the end of it, you would realize that this breathtaking view was worth every turbulance you felt along the way.

Curug Sawer
By the time we got there. The waterfall is very much less crowded. This waterfall is already famous within Sukabumi people, but may be less popular for tourists. The water was indeed very freezing but it would be a loss to not play with the water! So it’s better to bring out some extra clothes in case, there’s already a decent toilet around the area.
So beautiful, rich and refreshing, with height of 35 meters. As an additional activity you can do tubing on the river here.
The waterfall was also somewhat calming. Yep, no kidding, it was indeed somewhat calming and strikingly alone in the forest. If only there weren’t so many people taking full-body photo of themselves in front of the waterfall.

Curug Cigamea
This waterfall attraction, of course, has two types of waterfalls with different characters. The first waterfall is not far from the tourist entrance with a fairly steep rocky surface and black rocks.
The second waterfall is located some distance from the entrance with a distance of about 30 meters. The second waterfall pool can be used for swimming, the second part of the waterfall looks very fertile. In addition, there are many plants such as tropical forests that can make waterfalls cooler and more natural.
If you plan to swim, you can do that now as there are already two waterfalls available. Each waterfall, of course, has its own characteristics. You just have to choose what you want. Of the two waterfalls, it is actually the same for the atmosphere. You can enjoy the coolness of nature while splashing fresh water.
According to a traveling photographer, nature tourism in Curug Cigamea is indeed quite popular when we compare it to other waterfalls in the area around Mount Salak. Cigamea Waterfall also has two waterfalls with a height of 30 meters and 5 meters.

Cihurang Waterfall
Many people take advantage of Cihurang Waterfall as a practice site before they visit other waterfalls, located in a further location with a more challenging route. Despite the fact, that doesn’t mean Cihurang is less beautiful than those. The next reason to visit the site is definitely to enjoy the panorama. Featuring two waterfalls within an area, the site never fails to amuse visitors without a doubt. Each of the falls has a distinct water discharge and the depth of natural pond in fact.
For those who want to enjoy a peaceful bathing, they need to choose the smaller waterfall. It is because the natural pond is safer and more comfortable either for swimming or taking a bath. Even a water slide has been built there to accommodate kids. What about those who don’t want to play water? Well, they should be grateful for the presence of traditional gazebos located near to the waterfall. This facility becomes a perfect spot to enjoy relaxation and eat lunch together with families, surrounded by beautiful nature.

Ngumpet Waterfall
This waterfall was only opened to the public around the end of 2016, so that its age can still be considered "young" and its existence is not yet widely known by ordinary tourists.
Located 200 meters above the famous Curug and still one river, in the Ngumpet waterfall you will find water that is so clear that it is almost like glass. There are three pools or balong that can be dived here with different depths.
Can't swim? Relax, the depth is around 1.5 meters, so you don't need to worry about drowning. Want to try free also free! The route to this waterfall can use 2 paths, the path and water trekking. In the middle of the journey before crossing the first small bridge there is writing water trekking on the left - this route is quite extreme as well the road is slippery and cliffed. But there is another curug bonus that does not yet have a name. But if you want to find it safe, go straight to follow the path.
