#6 Dusun Bamboo Family Leisure Park Lembang Indonesia



Used to see the bird's nest in the advertisement mostly regarding to the Indonesia tourism. At first I really thought lots of the nest on tree and hang by those steel. After I came only I realise, the bird's nest,round shape of room made from half glasses that winding with the branch / root / some part of plants. The smart architecture idea might inspired by bird? The "bird's nest" build on the flyover bridge with glass, so can really enjoy the view. READ MORE

Even though Lembang is  middle of nowhere, and the road is quite bad, but it is very popular because of  those beautiful park/places, Dusun Bamboo, Farmhouse, Kampung Gajah, ect.For the destination list above, we skipped Taman Bergonia and Kampung Gajah, we spent too much time at few destinations and limited energy for us. Each of the destinations had its own  attraction and the area is big, lot of walking. Make sure wear something look nice and comfortable, comfortable shoes. After the whole day trip, you would felt like gaining your leg muscle. Weekend (Sat@Sun) would be terribly traffic jam, Friday a bit better, and weekdays(Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur)definitely perfect, less tourists,as it wont waste your time stuck in traffic jam.

This is an one day trip. Consider of not wasting the time waiting for the transport/ find for the transport in Lembang , I strongly suggested to rent a daily car with driver.

The range of price for daily rent varies depend on the company, car , and how many hours. Normally the price will be cheaper if booking without agent. If you are good and confident enough to drive a car to Lembang , you can rent without driver, will be cheaper and petrol by ourselves.(But hiring driver would be more safe as the road really bad, they know better when come to shortcut and reach you at the destination. No worries and rest in car, it will be better for you and other too.)

I hired one driver(they call supir here), Pak ...? I forgot the name, but he quite a good driver. The things I like the most about him, is polite and punctual driver. Punctuality is very importance as we have limited time for trip. I booked the car 2 days before our trip, he messaged me 6:30 am and waited in front of the hotel. This is good, as we managed to set off sharp on 7 am.


He gave me a good price 550 k rp (RM 155 ++) for "DAILY ALL IN PACKAGE" for White Avanza manual car (Fit 7 peoples) + Driver + Petrol , he told its okay even if we use the car more than 16 hours. The price excluded the parking fees and entry fees for Lembang destination. It consider very cheap as it including the petrol and driver.

If you are coming in one group 6 - 7 peoples, after divide per perosn will be only RM30 for whole day. Worth die. But I guess no one can get better price than I got.

If you interest for trip maybe can ask me for the driver number. State my name ,he will give u special price(he is friend of mine) and told the driver to follow the route above. Maybe can add on some interesting places like Kampung Gajah or Taman Bergonia. (We skipped those places because too exhausted for that)

Local Indonesians told me, normally its a polite manner to treat the driver for meal. Not mean to had meal together , but its okay to give 20 k rp ++(RM6++ ) for him , so he can had some food/ coffee at Warung near by road. It just a manner , not compulsory.
