Gowes Parahyangan Pura Agung

Today we agreed cycling to Parahyangan Pura Agung. This is the Hindu temple archipelago which located in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Jagatkarta temple is the largest temple in West Java and the 2nd largest in Indonesia after Besakih in Bali.
Jagatkarta temple is located at the foot of  Salak Mountain, in Ciapus, Bogor. Jagatkarta temple built in a unique location on Mount Salak.
As usual we chosed to have meeting point in a residential area of ​​Bogor Nirwana Residence. After having the chicken porridge breakfast, around 8 am we started cycling. The today track was very exhausting .. Where on the way to temple ... we had to bike with the climbing road... Nearly for 4 hours of our journey ... and finally at 12 noon we arrived at the temple. We went straight to a place where serve the famous Red Rice with "Honje".
However, unfortunately we could not get into the temple to take a picture because of an ongoing Hindu religious ceremonies. Finally we just took pictures outside the temple.
After taking a picture together, we went back and finally arrived at BNR around 2pm.
For today Cycling ..it's very special..since Todd and his wife Tammy have joined. This was the first biking for them....it was a fun cycling together with you and hopefully we can get cycling together in the future...of course with another destination and path that's more exciting.
See you next cycling ...
