Additional Information
Part of West Java, Banten is a burgeoning province. The government maintains Baduy, an area within it, due to its unique tribe. Originally known as the Kenekes people, their isolation dates back to the mid-1500s. Through the era of Muslim rule or the Sultanate of Banten, and the colonial period, they’ve preserved their culture, warding off outsiders. They’re also known as ‘Sunda wiwitan’.
Prominent features: the people abstain from using sandals and vehicles; they walk wherever they need to go. Their homes are made from bamboo and wooden rope, without any electricity. They live traditionally, untouched by modernisms, and the government ensures this preservation. Equally, the people cherish their culture and strive for its continuity through generations.
While in Baduy, visitors can explore the villages and homes, and interact with the locals through a representative guide.

Amazing day! Highly recommended - What an awesome experience. Loved seeing the village and the different culture, intermingling with the locals and learning about the culture and history. We also did the local Indonesian music performance and it was so great. The whole day was everything I hoped for.
Thank you!

Extraordinary tour and was Excellent day out - Some very important tour have occurred in West Java, I wasn’t sure I was in somewhere far from the city, seeing so many differences with big cities, and the most important thing was the character of those which is different thinking and still maintaining extraordinary nature , and my guide was amazing in explaining what happened here by taking me to the forest hills where they live.

Best of time with village adventure - A day to remember in Indonesia . The Baduy villages are a unique experience .Here you can see how locals live in a very traditional and simple life. On the outer Baduy area you can meet people from the inner tribe. Trekking along the villages in the rain was a bit challenging at times (take non slippery shoes).

I could recommend this tour was stunning - I had never been to visit the tribes. Baduy is the exception of our trip, because of my business. This tribes was awesome with their tradition also people are cute at all. In daily life they wear just black clothes and they called sarung originated from their product as uniform, woman all do hard work walking together like their custom everyday. Man do to their farming also helped by wife. It was such worthed to do this trip in my life. The food was best local I never tried that, but not choice another exception you tried in my life. The guide, Ferdy was stunning also our drives was so excellent.

Beautiful remote village - We enjoyed visiting the Baduy Villages and watching the woman weave the beautiful textiles and grind the rice. We sampled local fruit and visited one of the local huts. We also enjoyed the children and how excited they were to see us and take pictures. The village is remote and is an easy hike between each village. It is a little more challenging if it is rainy season due to rain, mud and slippery rocks. (Part of the adventure) Ferdy and Anton were a great guide and driver explaining the history and traditions of the Baduy tribal villages.
This is a long day with a 3 hour drive from Jakarta however the landscape and villages are great to see.
