4-Wheel Drive Jungle Adventure in Alas Purwo
About This Package
Experience the restorative power of forest bathing as you explore the timeless landscapes of Alas Purwo National Park. “Alas Purwo“ means “first forest“ or “ancient forest“ in Javanese. According to local legend, this site is where the earth first emerged from the ocean. The national park protects pristine tropical lowland rainforests and mangrove, and is steeped in traditional Javanese mysticism; locals regularly visit for prayer rituals and meditation. Alas Purwo is also well known for its incredible wildlife and a great surfing spot called G-Land.
Embark on a 4x4 jeep adventure into this magnificent jungle, letting the sounds of the wilderness reawaken your senses. Be amazed by the sight of the endangered Javanese bull (Bos Javanicus), Green Pea Fowls (Pavo Muticus), and Indian Deer (Muntiacus muntjak) in their original habitat, savanna “Sadengan“. Do climb up to the observation tower for a great photo opportunity, and visit Pura Giri Salaka, an ancient Hindu temple, to absorb the calming energy of this sacred forest.
