Pine Forest - Sentul

The Pine forest

Hello again (^.^)

The road to get there

Actually I planned to postpone writing bout this place until I'm quite free (hectic Monday but u wouldn't hear me complaining bout it) but since there were plenty of questions from my friends, asking all sort of questions bout this place, then here it is ^^

Picnic yay

How to get there:
Just take the highway to Bogor and exit at Sentul Selatan, then turn left and follow the direction given to JungleLand Sentul (basically just follow the main road for about 6minutes) then turn left again. Follow the road for another 2minutes (don't fret - there are plenty of signage around). Then turn left when you arrive at the T-junction (T-intersection), follow the roundabout and take the first left-turn. In several hundreds of meter, you will arrive at the parking space for JungleLand. 

The camping ground

Turn right into a small uneven road and follow the road until you meet another T-junction (there was a banner of satay seller - I hope the seller still sell satay when you go there LOL). Then take the right turn (if you see a signage about hotspring then you are on the right track). Just follow the road until you see a cluster of pine trees on the right and left sides of you, then you will arrived at your destination

I guessed - autumn will be a perfect time to visit this forest since all leaves turn greener

If you want to go to the hotspring, just follow the road for another hundreds of meters ahead.

The newly-built & clean prayer room & restroom

Entrance tickets:
For the pine forest, the entrance ticket was IDR10k/adult and IDR 4k/car. When I went there, kids were free of charge. For the hotspring main gate, the entrance ticket was IDR 10k/adult and IDR 4k/car. Again, when we went there, kids were free of charge. To use the hotspring, the ticket was IDR5k/pax in which you can use the communal open hotspring. However, if you wanted a private pool like us, we paid another IDR100k/family-pool/hour

The humble foodstall

Pine forest:

To get the maximum enjoyment here, you should bring your own food and mat, and have a picnic here. But in case you forgot, there are kids who rent out the mat for IDR20k/usage - as long as you want it. However, for foodstall, they mainly sell instant noodle and snack with beverage. So if you are looking for some proper meals, then you better bring your own. 

Hotspring:
For the hotspring itself, I have nothing much to tell. Since we chose the family pool, I like how they cleaned the pool after usage, so the water which filled up our pool could be considered new. It only uses bamboo curtain blind to separate each pool and you have to walk few steps to reach the changing room (so mind your clothing before dipping yourself into the pool). Each pool has two taps, the cold and the hot water in which allow you the option to choose how hot you want your water to be, but they only have the cold one in the changing room (which felt refreshing after being boiled in the pool).

Careful with this pine-worm

Sorry no pic on the pool - it was for private collection LOL but I hope you enjoy the post (I know - I kinda rushed the writing)

The pavement to hotspring

Yes - bring back your trash ya - NO littering
