The challenging trek, containing numerous kilometers of uphill and downhill paths, allows you to visit the homes of the Baduy people and interact with them firsthand. You will witness firsthand that the men and women of Baduy live without modern conveniences like sandals, electricity, or other modern tools.
The Baduy culture, secluded since the mid-15th century, has formed unique communities that lead lives far removed from urban centers, tucked away in hills and jungles. Specifically located in West Java, near Jakarta, the Baduy culture remains as one of the surviving local ethnic groups in Java.

This tour was more than I... - This tour was more than I imagined, I was first introduced to my guide named, Budi and driver, Elun. They were both very accommodating, giving me the chance to get refreshments before our long journey. The commute from Jakarta to Baduy Luar is quite a stretch but you will see endless swerving of roads into the hilltops, then you will reach the main village, meeting our Baduy Luar contact, Ian. It was then when we had to hike endless steps and paths through various smaller villages within a rainforest. While arduous, it was rewarding to see a community living a simple life from harvesting, carrying goods/materials from village to village, creating clothing by hand, or just living life amongst their family.
Note: Be aware you will have to hike on steep rocks with a slippery surface. So buy shoes that will accommodate this type of terrain.
Terima kasih banyak kepada Budi, Elun, dan Ian atas pengalaman luar biasa yang diberikan.

Totally Worth It - I must not have read the description and realized that it would be that much hiking. I'm not a hiker and at first I was regretting booking this adventure. But oh my goodness!!! Worth it!!! It was a great tour. My guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Plus he took good pictures which is always a plus. But the people were the true stars of this journey. The locals are incredible. I highly recommend this tour if you are in good physical health.
My only concern was the driver who drove very wrecklessly. It was totally unsafe. But the guide was amazing and the trip was too

Great experience - Our guide Enok (hopefully I got this right) was amazing and very helpful. Beware of the hike though :D it is quite steep and tough in this weather. Surely not for everyone! We had a blast though. The village and nature are BEAUTIFUL!

Wonderful tour to Baduy Village! But be prepared for hours of hiking! - This tour was a fascinating look into how the Baduy people, in the 21st century, still live a simple life as their ancestors did! Bring cash, as there will be opportunities to buy locally made handicrafts created in the villages, especially hand woven items. Please be aware that this excursion will involve HOURS of hiking through the rainforest, often on very hilly and slippery terrain. But you will be rewarded with images that will remain in your memory for a lifetime.
My guide, Mohammed, was an excellent translator (no one in the village spoke English) and was a wealth of knowledge, answering all of my questions. And my driver (whose name escapes me) was excellent. Driving in Indonesia is chaotic at best, but he was calm and got us to the village and back to Jakarta safely. Recommended for anyone wanting a more "active" trip. I definitely got my exercise for the day on this tour!

Insightful cultural experience - The encounter with the Baduy guides was culturally really insightful. Thanks to our guide Borneo, who translated everything, we were also able to ask questions to them and further explore their culture. I suggest to bring cash for souvenirs and tips.

Fascinating view into a different way of life - This was a great experience for a whole day - guide Borneo & driver Elun went out of their way to make me comfortable and ensure i had the best possible time. A lot of insight into the way of life of the Baduy, meeting many (mainly from the outer village) on the way and encountering their calm and friendly nature. It can get a bit sticky on the trail through the villages but it is definitely worth it and i can highly recommend it to anyone with a day to spare in Jakarta and wanting to see something special. Five Stars *****

One of the best tours in my life! - Was a great tour and very unique where I recommend this to everyone. Ikhsan the driver was very polite and Rezky the tour guide is one of the best tour guides I have had before. He first asked some questions about me to understand what kind of person I am and then he quickly understood I was into cultural differences and unique experiences so he adapted the tour to my taste. We ate lunch at the village house, we walked into the rice fields and he explained a lot now just about the banduy but also about Indonesia as well. He would always ask if I was thirsty or tired and was very hospitable. He understands picture taking points a lot which was really great for me as I took a lot of videos.

Baduy vVillage Adventure - Going to Baduy Village was well worth the climb. The people were interested and interesting, the culture shared was meaningful and even the shopping was good! Don’t forget to bring candy for the kids and to drink some fresh coconut water! The addition of the children playing traditional instruments (angklung) and being able to play along with them topped it all off!
