tahura putri waterfall if go straight ahead from mengger T- intersection.

There are two waterfall in pandeglang regency named curug putri.


One of them located near carita and the other one which we going to
show you is locate in slope of mount pulosari. This waterfall is very
popular among tourist for the virgin natural beauty.

This waterfall still very virgin with slippery stone along the track. We
can say that the track is hard enoughso you should preparing your
stamina before decide to go there. But once you get there all the
exhaistion will be paid by the fresh air and beautifull scenery. Some food
stall are provided here, you can buy some food,snack or coffee here.

official ticket for entering mount pulosari is 10.000 rupiahs if you


visit mount pulosari without spend the night there, but if you do there are
5.000 rupiahs for addition charge. Like I said before that price is official
ticket, unfortunately if you aren’t lucky you might meet some unofficial
charge in the way. Be patient, tourism in this regency still need some
mending.

For you who want more adventure, you can continue the trip from
putri waterfall to pulosari crater. You can reach the crater by walk about an
hour from the waterfall. The track to reach this crater is harder than
previous track to waterfall. So one again prepare your stamina.

food and drink while resting to recover your energy. When you arrive in the
crater you will find little rivers and hole which produce hot steam with sulfur
aroma.

In this crater you can take a nice photo, soak your feet. Again some
food stall can be found here. Some climber use this hole to boil eggs.
Restroom also provided. In weekend theres a lot of climber set a tend
here. In ceratin holliday you might be difficult to find a place to set a tent
because so many other do the same. Some climber prefer to build their
tent in the peak of the mountain, but because peak area is limited a lot of
them prefer to bulid the tent in the cater.

When the night come you can enjoy the campfire. Do not worry if
you do not bring wood because a lot of food stall here also provide the
wood. You only need to buy it. You can get a bunch of wood with 10.000
rupiahs. That would be enough to cook some food and warm your body
while enjoying the night sky.

Next adventure if you still have energy is the peak of mount


pulosari. Height of this mount is 1346 above the sea level. The track to
reach the peak of the mount of course is hareder than before. Even if not
to high but a lot of climber consider the track is as harder as mount
cikuray, tiny but chalenging. After rain the vertical track will get very
slipery. So again and again stamina is important to be given a lot of

8
attention. It would need about an hour or two to reach the peak from
crater, it depend on your climbing speed.

Exploring Citaman Jiput Fountain

Most of the visitors come to the fountain for playing water. Though,
some of them also want to learn the history. According to the locals,
Citaman Fountain has been there for more than 2,000 years. Due to its
age, some people considered it a sacred spring. Here is the unique thing
about it. The fountain remains clear and clean, regardless of age and
condition. In terms of temperature, it is cold as ice. Thus, it becomes a
good location for relaxation and enjoying fresh water!

Once you reach the location, you may see the source of water. It is
surrounded by stones and located in the midst of the pond. It is the main
attraction in Citaman Fountain, after all. Swimming and playing in the
water are common activities to do. Getting in the water in the middle of

14
natural environment will be a wonderful activity. It is even possible to take
selfies in such location. Make sure not to use a water resistant camera,
though.

In order to retain its purity and beauty, you must never litter in the
water. That means you should not eat snacks near to Citaman Fountain.
Once you enjoy playing water, you can visit nearby attractions. For
instance, there is Batu Goong. It is actually terraced stones and it is an
inheritance of Buddhist’s culture. In the past, many monks use it for
meditating. It can be a perfect spot for taking pictures, actually. Therefore,

combination to attract local tourist for Indonesian People but maybe not for

23
A great place for swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, fishing,

and underwater photography, this resort offers a complete set of facilities

including restaurants, accommodation, motorboats, and diving

equipments. Carita beach is located in West Banten, Labuhan district,

Padeglang regency, which is accessible by any land transportation and

takes about 3 hours drive from Jakarta.

The parlous state of conservation in Indonesia, and in Java in

particular means that this small, degraded forest behind this busy beach

resort is one of the best places to find some of Java's lowland endemics.

The forest has heavily used both by tourists (more high school students)

and by local woodcutters and trappers. All the forest on the ridge tops

appears to have been recently logged and this forest would appear to

have a limited future - another victim of Indonesia's economic woes.

Besides white beaches behind hundreds of swaying coconut trees,

one panoramic highlight is the visibility of the infamous Krakatoa Volcano

from Carita, rising above the horizon in Sunda Strait between Java and

Sumatra. The visitors won't have difficulties finding a place to stay here as

many cottages, hotels and camping grounds are all available, not to

mention the inevitable seafood.

Accessible from Jakarta over a fair road, the visitors can reach it in

less than 3 hours, one third of which is over a toll road, which is being

extended to the extreme western part of Java in Merak. Here again, most

24
visitors arrive from Jakarta, as Bandung is more than 6 hours away from

Carita by road.

Citorek, Ciptarasa, Cicarucub, Cisungsang). Unlike the Baduy customary

30
community, kasepuhan Cisungsang is open with the result of the

development of human technology, meaning that the indigenous people

kasepuhan cisungsang not prohibited using modern goods, schools,

vehicles, electronic equipment and others like in general other

communities. "Kudu can ngigeulan era" so said Abah Usep Suyatma. In

their journey, these two types of culture (Modern and Tradition) go hand in

hand, not weaken each other, and indigenous peoples can take advantage

of modernization to strengthen the tradition that is commonly practiced.

This combination of cultures can be seen from the daily life of

indigenous peoples, using iket, black clothes, and carrying gadgets,

climbing vehicles, even communicating with each other through social

media. The most visible standout is when the celebration of Seren Taun.

The music of angklung will be witnessed, jaipong and wayang are held.

core of the harvest thanksgiving ritual. In this activity, the rice yields are

handed over to the kasepuhan and the thanksgiving to God for the

abundance before the last stage of the counting is done.

1. MASJID AGUNG (SULTAN MAULANA HASANUDIN
MOSQUE/GRAND MOSQUE) BANTEN LAMA

Great Mosque of Banten (Indonesian Masjid Agung Banten) is a historic


mosque in Old Banten, 10 km north of Serang, Indonesia. The 16th-
century mosque was one of the few surviving remnants of what used to be
the port city of Banten, the most prosperous trading center in the
Indonesian archipelago after the fall of Demak Sultanate in mid-16th
century.

History

The Great Mosque of Banten shows eclectic design, a proof of the


international influence in Banten at the time of its construction. The
mosque was constructed in Javanese style during the reign of
Sultan Maulana Yusuf, the third Sultan of Banten Sultanate,
in Dzulhijjah AH 966 (1566 CE).

A Javanese-styled pawestren (side hall, used for female's praying hall)


was added during the reign of Maulana Muhammad (1580-1586). The

134
southern serambi (porch) of the mosque was converted into a tomb
containing about 15 graves.

In 1632, a 24 meter minaret was added to the mosque complex.[2] The


minaret was designed by a Chineseman Cek-ban-cut.[4] Around similar
period the Dutch-styled tiyamah was added to the mosque following the
design of Hendrik Lucaasz Cardeel, a Dutchman who was converted to
Islam.[3]

Architecture

In a typical architecture of Javanese mosque, the Great Mosque of Banten


consists of the main prayer hall and a covered veranda (serambi). The
serambi is a semi-attached porch-like structure which provides entrance to
the main prayer hall. The main prayer features a five-tiered roof supported
by four main posts (saka guru). The three uppermost tier is arranged
rather uniquely, appearing more like a Chinese pagoda than the regular
multi-tiered roof of Javanese architecture. There is a dispute over the
original number of the tiers of the main prayer hall; sketches of the city in
1596, 1624, 1661 and 1726 shows the number of the tier as not more than
three tiers, while Valentijn (1858) mentioned the number of the tier is five

135
as it is today.[3] The covered verandas were added to the main mosque
building, built in the north and south side of the mosque.

Being a port town, the Great Mosque of Banten features eclectic elements,
which appear in the overall enclosed space of the mosque, the minaret,
and the tiyamah building. The minaret is a popular icon of the Great
Mosque of Banten. It is a 24 meter high, brick minaret, with a 10 meter in
diameter octagonal base.[3] The shape is reminiscent of a lighthouse. The
architecture features a mix of Indian Mughal pattern and
ancient candi decoration.[5]It is a place to protect endangered animals.

Banten. It is located in the Bay of Banten, north of Serang city or the
southeast of Banten Lama region. To answer your curiosity about this

4. BENTENG BANTEN LAMA

141
142
Banten, also known as Banten Lama (Old Banten) is a town in the
province of Banten, in the Western Java region of Indonesia. Banten used
to be the capital of the powerful Banten sultanate, that had control over
trade in parts of Western Java and Sumatra in the 16th to 18th century.

Being a great trading centre in Southeast Asia, especially of pepper, the


sultanate of Banten was powerful and prosperous starting in the 16th
century, which led to the construction of impressive buildings in its capital
town of Banten. However, the capital of the colonial power, the Dutch East
Indies, was located just 60 km east in Batavia (currently the city
of Jakarta). This led to intense conflicts, and eventually led to the end of
the sultanate in the early 19th century, when it was absorbed in the Dutch
East Indies. Nowadays, the town of Banten is officially an administrative
village under the authority of the larger city of Serang. Banten's port is no
more than a local fishing port, with the ports of Merak to the west and
Jakarta to the east being much more important.

Banten is about 7 km north of the city of Serang. The Jalan Raya


Banten road leads directly from the city centre of Serang to Banten. To get

143

off at the Serang Timur (East Serang) exit. From there, it is about a 10 km
drive to Banten.

6. ISLAND 5 (LIMA) BANTEN.

146
Banten does have some privileges in addition to being a place to
conserve one-horned rhinoceros in Ujung Kulon National Park, Banten
also keeps hidden paradises in the form of small islands around it. One of
the new islands show its beauty is the island of Lima Banten. This island
of Lima emerged after the small island of Pamujan located nearby.

147
Although the location is adjacent but the characteristics of the
island of Lima is different from the other two islands. The island has soft
white sand and smooth, with a stretch of mangrove forest in the vicinity.
Like the other islands of Pulau Tiga and Empat, the island is located
approximately 20 minutes by sea from the port of Karangantu.

The distance is closer to the mainland than the other two islands.
Pulau Lima Banten has an area of about 3.5 hectares. Access to the
island of Lima is almost the same as access to the island of Mojan Besar
and the island of Little Pamujan. If you depart from Serang you can use a
private vehicle to go to the port of Karangantu which is located in the
Kaseman, Banten Lama.

The distance from the city of attack is about 30 minutes away. If you
do not use a private vehicle do not worry because from Serang there is a
public transport leading to the port of Karangantu, you only need to pay 5
thousand rupiah to get there.

After arriving at the port of Karangantu then you can rent a fishing
boat or follow a travel package on the island of Lima Banten who prepare
all transportation needs and some facilities at a very affordable price of
Rp. 50.000,00.

148
Transportation includes return and departure, while some of the
other facilities on offer are banana boats, snorkeling and fishing from the
boat. This price is offered during the tourism promo of the island of Lima. If
you can not find a favorable promo you can still visit the island of Lima by
renting a fishing boat for Rp. 200,000 for one way, would be cheaper if you
bring more entourage. If you and your entourage want to stay then you
can rent an inn on the island of Lima with a price range of Rp. 200.000,00
to Rp. 500.000,00. What can you do on Pulau Lima?

As the other islands of the island of Lima offer a beautiful natural


panorama, you can enjoy it just by relaxing in the gazebo provided while
eating snacks that are also sold around the gazebo, such as noodles,
meatballs, pecel, and various other types of food .

7. KERATON KAIBON BANTEN

149
Banten Lama Area in Serang Regency left many buildings that have high
historical value. One of the remaining buildings is the Kaibon Palace
located in Kampung Kroya, Kasunyatan Village, Kasemen District. Keraton
kaibon become one of the cultural preservation buildings of Banten
Province that holds the glories of the Kingdom of Banten Lama.

Built in 1815, this palace became the second palace in Banten after
the Surosowan Palace. In contrast to Keraton Surosowan, as the center of
government, the Kaibon Palace was built as the residence of Queen
Aisyah. This is because Sultan Syafiudin as the sultan of Banten to 21
when it was still 5 years old. Kaibon's own name is certainly taken from a
maternal word that has a meaning like a gentle and loving mother.

The Kaibon palace is built facing west with a canal on the front.
This channel serves as a transportation medium to get to the Surosowan
Palace which is located in the north. The front of the palace is limited by a
gate that has 5 doors. The meaning of this number five follows the number
of daily prayers performed by Muslims. The gate is styled Java and Bali
has a height of 2 meters with the shape of Bentar temple as the motive.
This gate is also called the winged gate. At one gate there is a door
paduraksa connecting the front with the main room of the palace.

150
The main room of this royal palace is none other than Queen
Asiyah's own bedroom. Built with overhang to the ground, Queen's
bedroom is equipped with air conditioning technology. This can be seen
from the hole contained in the room. The hole used to be in the water
content to give a cool effect on the contents of the room.

The palace, which stands on 4 hectares of land, is built using bricks


made of sand and lime. Although it has been destroyed, some of the ruins
in this palace still look the foundation and the pillars are intact.

One of the most obvious is a mosque-like building. The building of


this mosque is on the right side of the gate. In addition to the pillars are
still intact, in the building there is also a pulpit that serves as a place of
establishment khotib.

In 1832 the Kaibon Palace was destroyed by the Dutch side led by
the then VOC Governor General Daen Dels. The attack was done
because Sultan Syaifudin strongly rejected the request of the general to
continue the construction of Anyer-Panarukan Highway. Even the general
envoy Du Puy was killed by the sultan until his head was beheaded and
returned to General Daen Dels. Outraged, the VOC general destroyed the
Kaibon palace to leave the remains of the current debris.

Today, the ruins of the Kaibon Palace leave behind the story of the
glory of Old Banten. Although only a ruin and foundation of the building,
does not make visitors stop visiting the cultural heritage in this province of
Banten. In addition to want to see the glory of Banten past, this palace is
also often used as visitors and young couples to immortalize themselves
with the classical and artistic background of the palace.

151
8. MUSIUM PURBAKALA BANTEN (The Ancient Museum of Banten)

152
153
Museum Banten Lama Archaeological Site is located in Banten
Lama, Serang, just a few meters away from the Great Mosque of Banten,
opposite the Surosowan Palace ruins that I visited recently. That's
because the lock of the fence lock into the ruins is kept by the officers of
this museum.

The place used by the Museum of Ancient Burmese Archaeological


Site is a one-story rectangular building with a very wide yard. In the front
yard of the museum, somewhat to the right, there is a small cupola inside
which is displayed an ancient cannon collection known as Meriam Ki
Amuk.

154
Museum Ancient Archaeological Site of Banten Lama stands on
10,000 m2 of land, while the building area is only 778 m2. The museum
was founded in 1984, and the inauguration was made on July 15, 1985 by
Prof. Dr. Haryati Soebadjio, Director General of Culture at that time. In
addition to archaeological objects, this museum also keeps the old
currency, ethnic relics, and ceramics.

A statue of Nandi is large enough but its damaged head is


displayed in the museum room. There is no explanation where and when
this statue was found before it was stored in Museum of Antiquities of
Banten Lama. The existence of the statue Nandi provide evidence that the
influence of Hindu culture also lives in the region of Banten Lama.

155
9&10. PELELANGAN KARANGANTU BANTEN AND PELABUHAN
KARANGANTU BANTEN

156
there was 1511 when Malacca fell into Portuguese hands, causing
Muslim traders from Arab, Persian and Gujarat areas to be reluctant to
dock and stop there. This led to the Banten area located on the western tip
of the Java section of choice. The merchants divert the voyages past
Banten which is considered to have good economic and geographic value.
Moreover, the traders did not like the Portuguese who had already
controlled the Malacca territory. So was born a large port with the name of
Port of karangantu.

Karangantu Port is the second largest port after the Sunda Kelapa
Port in Jayakarta, said Tom Pires, a drug trafficker from Portugal. It is
recorded in the book "Know the Ancient History and Archeology of Old
Banten" by Uka Tjandrasasmita, Hasan M Ambary, and Hawany Michrob.

In the 16th century, this port became a haven for merchants before
continuing their journey to the Australian continent. In fact, the
Netherlands when first entered the island of Java in 1596 to use the
services of this port to berthing. Still from the same book, mentioned Dutch
Governor Jan Piterzoon Coen once made a note about the Chinese boat
carrying goods worth 300,000 real in Karangantu. The Port of Karangantu

157
is not only recorded in the book, but the relics of valuable goods ever
traded can be seen in the Museum of Antiquities Site Banten Lama.

The name of Karangantu itself according to the myths circulating in


the community was born because at that time there was a Dutchman who
brought a jar containing a ghost. Until one day the jar broke and the ghost
in it came out. From then on the port that has changed into this fishing
village is named the Port of Karangantu.

158
Although the condition of this historic object is less optimal because
it seems slum, but the Port of Karangantu has its own charisma. Because
the Port of Karangantu

is one of the most famous ports in its heyday, even the Western nations
first set foot in the archipelago originated from this place. Therefore, the
Port of Karangantu can be regarded as one of the starting point of the
development of civilization in Indonesia. In addition, at this port in every
October or November of each year held the Party Ruat Laut or commonly
called the same citizens around as Nadran. And now the name of this
place is often called the Port of Fisheries Karangantu, why so because
now this port is also a center for fish auctions from fishermen who reside in
their own karangantu area. Now there is a sign saying TPI KARANGANTU
right in front of the road to the fish auction center.
