THE GARDEN IN DUSUN BAMBU

15th SEPTEMBER 2016 ~ Another activity that you can do when visiting Dusun Bambu is walking around its garden, with a stream and small waterfalls flowing through it. You need to go uphill at times so make sure that you wear suitable shoes. Heels are definitely not recommended.

We could see visitors trying to get the best angles for their photographs, making the flowers filling in the background of the pictures.

Gardeners who were busy installing flowering plants that morning. The place should look lovelier by now, with colourful blossoms filling the landscape.

THE RESTAURANT BY THE LAKE AT DUSUN BAMBU

I first thought these were chalets. I only found out when I was googling for information on the net that they were the gazebos of the restaurant by the lake, Purbasari.

Of course we did not eat at the restaurant. People were there (at that time) just to pose with the scenic lake in the background.

I wish I could just sit there, and read a book; or just stare into the lake and do nothing. However, that is never going to happen because I will always be on the move during all my vacations, from early morning until evening.

DUSUN BAMBU AND ITS BIRD CAGES

16TH SEPTEMBER 2016 ~ Another attraction at Dusun Bambu is its bird cages - the gazebos built on a higher ground. So if you are looking to spend time, dining and enjoying nature like a Tarzan (in a good way), I guess this would be the best option you have. The place looks spectacular at night when it is lit up with lights, from the photos I saw on the internet.

THE PADDY FIELD AT DUSUN BAMBU

16TH SEPTEMBER 2016 ~ We were in Bandung two years ago so basically we had visited most of the tourists' attractions there. I requested to be taken to places that we had not been to before. The driver took us to this place called Dusun Bambu [translate: bamboo orchard]. This was an eco-tourism kind of place, where you could enjoy nature and culture in one place. The place was quite new actually so what we did mostly was walking and enjoying the view.

The entrance fee was only 15 000 Rupiah so you better go while it is still cheap (weekends 20 000 Rupiah). You could take the shuttle mini bus but the place was actually quite small so it would be best to just walk.

Right after the entrance, we came across a (mini) paddy field. The view must be awesome when the paddy has turned yellow before harvesting. We were still happy to be able to walk through a real paddy field, something that we would not be able to do back home.

As you can see, there were woven bamboo strips put on stilts for people to walk on. I guess these bamboo walkway had made the place looked unique.
