We, a group of five birders, visited these two places on 1-5 Aug (2-3 Aug: Mt Gede; 4 Aug: Garden).
Mt Gede is about 2-hr drive from the Jarkata airport. The uphill trail is full of birds and some are endemics. Usually 2D1N trip but a long day trip is possible. It took us about 8 hrs walking from the entrance to the campsite (we walked extremely slowly due to birding. Total distance one way = about 7km). Birders with general fitness should complete the trail without difficulty.
Our guide is Boas (Jakartabirder@ymail.com). He could be reached by whatsapp (pls email him first to get his phone no). He is an excellent guide and took good care of us during the trip. Also a very hard working guy and helped us "ticking" a lot of new birds. Anyway, highly recommended.
Mount Gede距耶加達國際機場約2小時車程。Mount Gede上山小徑烏况良好 (有很多烏種更是特有種) 。此段旅程通常係兩日一夜,但一整天的旅程是可以的,不過就上不到高地找一些特有種。我們總共用了8小時去行7km的上山旅程,行程緩慢主要因為揾雀。事實上這條山徑保養良好,沒有太多急斜路段,鳥友只要有一般體力,應可應付得來。
