Trip to Lembah Purba and Southeast Asia’s Longest Suspension Bridge, Situ Gunung

Lembah Purba, a tourist destination in Sukabumi, West Java, has been in the spotlight recently. One of the main attractions is the Situ Gunung suspension bridge, claimed as the longest bridge in Southeast Asia. Sounds cool, right?

This 243 meters suspension bridge offers a remarkable panorama. From above, you can see the beauty of the protected forest and its trees. If you are lucky, you can also watch the activities of its wildlife, among which is the Javanese leaf monkey.

This bridge is also the entrance to the exotic Lembah Purba. Situated in the Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park (TNGGP) area, this destination is 1,100 meters above sea level. Thus, you can expect to feel a chilly breeze here.

Walking on the Lembah Purba Bridge can indeed be a challenge. Fret not, you will be equipped with a safety belt to cross the bridge safely.

Considering its length, you need roughly 30 minutes to get to the other end of the bridge. It may look scary, but once on the bridge, you will see that the natural beauty around you is worth every inch of the walk. From the Lembah Purba Bridge, you can witness the extraordinary view of Situ Gunung Suspension Bridge from above.

To get across the Lembah Purba Bridge, you need to spend IDR400,000, including the entry ticket for Lembah Purba expedition. This cost includes various facilities such as a welcome drink, lunch at De’ Balcone Resto, and accesses to the two bridges.
