Oh great! I’ve successfully missed two months of pics of the month series.. 🙁
Allow me make it up by sharing pictures of the month for March now (previously I always shared my pictures of the month at the end of the month). Sooner is better, right?
Here I would like to share some pictures that I took (unless stated otherwise) at Bogor Botanical Garden. If you happen to come to Jakarta and stay for several days, go to Bogor and check out this garden.
Bogor Botanical Garden is located in Bogor, approximately 50 km from Jakarta. You can easily do a day trip to Bogor from Jakarta. I would like to suggest taking a train from Jakarta. The train ride from Jakarta to Bogor takes around 1 hour and costs around Rp5,000 equal with 0.4 usd (one way). I have some shots of the train station and the train to let you know that the train Jakarta-Bogor isn’t scary at all.
The entrance fee for Bogor Botanical Garden is Rp14,000 for domestic and Rp25,000 for foreigners. The entrance fee that you pay includes the entrance fee to the Zoological museum, which is located close to the entrance of the Bogor Botanical Garden – Surya Kencana street. Btw, you’ll be able to rent a bike to use inside the garden, which costs you Rp5,000 per bike.
Though it is ‘only’ a garden, it is huge! It is 87 hectares of green happiness! Last time I visited I spent 1,5 hours walking around and only managed to explore perhaps a quarter of the area.
Orchid house is one of the highlights and my favourite. You’ll be just happy and happy to be able to see so many beautiful orchids! I couldn’t stop smiling that day, to be surrounded by beautiful things. You know, it feels like you get energy from it.
Beside the enormous size, the plants collection that Bogor Botanical Garden has is amazing. They have medical plants, rattan, palm, water plant, fern, cinnamon, wood plant, bamboo and many more.
I hope you enjoy these greeny pictures from Bogor Botanical Garden and it can inspire you to take a day trip to Bogor and check the garden out!

aku pernah jalan-jalan muterin kebun raya bogor, luas banget dan capek juga ternyata 😐
jalan-jalan di Kebun Raya Bogor aja gak kuat, apalagi yang disuruh “jalanin aja dulu”
Gallant HAHAHAHAA… Masih aja galau 😉
Aku juga 1,5 jam (atau 2 jam ya), cuma dapet seperempatnya dari kebun raya.
Jangan cantik-cantik napa sih kak?!
:p :p :p
Putriiiii! Kebun Rayanya emang cantik banget!
Ternyata ada juga tulisan tentang Bogor disini…
Foto-fotonya sangat menarik.
Padahal masih ada tempat-tempat yang menarik lho mbak, sayang tidak diliput. Masih ada Taman/Tugu Teijsmann, Pemakaman Belanda Kuno, Hand of God, Monumen Lady Raffles, Museum Zoologi, Taman Astrid..
Kalau nanti berkunjung ke Bogor lagi, jangan dilewatkan yang saya sebutkan tadi ya mbak.
Kalau butuh panduan bisa datang ke LOVELY BOGOR..
Terima kasih sudah menulis tentang kota saya..
Iya, waktu itu waktunya terbatas, Pak 🙂
Berarti harus ada kunjungan berikutnya. Terima kasih sudah mampir ke sini..
