Overview

In the west of Java, not far from Karyamukti village, there is an ancient mysterious place, about the origin of which scientists are still racking their brains. For many years, the slopes of the mountain were covered with a thick layer of earth and were used for agricultural purposes. Relatively recently, scientists discovered a pyramid under a layer of the earth, hollow inside, and the origin of which dates back to 22,000 years BC. You have a unique chance to see and touch the masterpiece of an ancient civilization, which has not yet been studied.

Highlights

Gunung Padang Megalithic Site
Gunung Padang is a megalithic site located in Karyamukti village, Cianjur regency, West Java Province of Indonesia, 30 kilometers southwest of the city of Cianjur, or 6 kilometers from Lampegan station. It has been called the largest megalithic site in all of Southeastern Asia and has produced controversial carbon dating results which, if confirmed, would suggest that construction began as far back as 20,000 BCE. In a 2014 Indonesian Newspaper, Archaeologist Harry Truman Simanjuntak suggests that the site may have been built much more recently, perhaps sometime between the 2nd and 6th centuries CE.
Jakarta
Jakarta, officially the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, is the capital and largest city of Indonesia. On the northwest coast of the world's most populous island of Java, it is the center of the economy, culture and politics of Indonesia. Jakarta's business opportunities, as well as its potential to offer a higher standard of living, have attracted migrants from across the Indonesian archipelago, making it a melting pot of numerous cultures. Jakarta is nicknamed the "Big Durian", the thorny strongly-odored fruit native to the region, seen as the Indonesian equivalent of the "Big Apple" (New York City).
