Unforgettable Vacation To CURUG CILEAT

"Curug 4 (opat/empat/fourth) Cileat"

Curug Cileat or Curug 4 is one of wonderful waterfalls in Subang, there are seven waterfalls in one location. Administrative located at Desa Mayang, Kecamatan Cisalak, Kabupaten Subang, West Java, Indonesia. Subang has five waterfalls in different administrative location, Curug Cileat one of them comes from Cileat river stream with good debit of water n the highest waterfall about ±100 meters.


Accsess to Curug Cileat is so far than others, the easiest n nearest u have to walk at least about 2-3 hours from north, Cibago, Subang. This way has clear track with sign to get there.
Other access is from south, Bukit Tunggul, Lembang. If u through the correct track it take 6-7 hours, depend on your foot n lung. I think this way is very RISK bcoz no sign, many branching paths n closed. It is possible to get LOST but very adventurous. Try this way if u an adventurer like "Indiana Jones". PREPARE THE BEST FOR THE WORST n LET'S GET LOST as we did, yeeaaahh... ;D


Some equipment n supplies

The important things should u prepare :
  • Information  
All information about the location Curug Cileat, the weather, the last condition track to location, flora n fauna habitat, water sources n so on. U can get that all from many sources for example internet, friend or people who been go there, native etc.
  •  Navigation knowledge
U or one of u have to understand navigation to determine which track will be passed. Using navigation tool such as Compass, Contour Map, Douglass protactor, Altimeter, GPS etc.
  • Supplies
Food supplies with good nutrition, delicious n cheap for few days or more+two days if u get LOST. Water supplies is the most important, u must bring water container to store much water for supplies.
  • Logistics
Equipment to supporting your comfort such as clothes, jacket, sleepingbag, mattress, lamp, tent, stove, cleaver(golok), cutlery(alat makan), cookware(alat masak) etc.
  • Fuel
Such as candle, battery, gases , paraffin cooker etc

The main important are your holiday TIME, DESIRE, ENERGY n MONEY, hahahaa... :)))


Starting Point

The starting point is our bro Mang Dikdik's house as Elnino's basecamp at foot of Bukit Tunggul mountain. About 30 minutes n 10000 rupiahs from Pasar Lembang to get there by yellow angkot (Lembang-Maribaya-Cibodas).

Elnino's basecamp

















From Elnino's basecamp we start the journey on foot to Saung Kresna. We walked for an hour. The road we passed is makadam road, so u can use car or motorcycle to get Saung Kresna. Let's enjoy the view of cinchona(pohon kina) garden along the way.

Saung Kresna is the farthest gazebo, usually use for rest the farmer or people who go recreation. There is no warung, the last warung at around Elnino's basecamp so u must shoping before get here. The small river is 10 minutes before Saung Kresna. Facing to west is Mt.Bukit Tunggul, to northeast is facing to Mt.Sanggara.

From Saung Kresna we move to northeast passed the footpath until we get the top of Mt.Sanggara (1898 mdpl), it take 1,5 hours. We build camp on the first day for overnight after we passed the top.

The way home is north direction, Cibago Subang. The track is clean. On the way to Cibago we meet three waterfalls, the villagers gave name Curug1, Curug 2, Curug 3. Unfortunately at curug 1 we only meet a stream course.
