It is a very reclusive national park, about 5 hours extremely bumpy ride from Bogor or 7 hours from Jakarta airport. Despite its inaccessibility, there are great forest and diverse wildlife. Great chance to spot the endangered silvery Javan gibbon and also Javan surilis and Lutung. Also spotted civets during our spotlight session. However, birdlife are a bit difficult to see despite its diversity. Recommend to stay for longer period of if you have target species to see. Regrettably we only had 2 days so didn’t manage to find our target species. There is also a canopy walk built for bird watching. You can either stay in the Cikaniki research station or nearby village homestay. Between the research station and village is the Nirmala tea plantation, where it is easier to see kingfishers and eagles. Mobile reception is minimal to non-existent.
