Continue hiking to experience the Sultan basket zipline, a hanging chair ride in the form of a basket made of rattan across the river with a route of 100 meters. (At certain times, especially during weekends or holidays, the zipline queue can be long and take more than 1.5 hours).
Situ Gunung Lake
Immerse yourself in Situ Gunung Lake, surrounded by pine trees on the slopes of Mount Gede Pangrango. You can enjoy nature from the lake's edge or ride a traditional raft.

Long Track Hiking (5 KM)
Ancient Valley & Twin Waterfall
Ready to uncover the magic of hidden waterfalls nestled deep within the rainforest. Our expert guides will lead you through lush vegetation, sharing their knowledge of the local ecosystem along the way. We will pass another 7 Suspension bridges to reach the Ancient Valley.
As we approach the Twin Waterfall, feel the waterfall's splash and listen to nature's soothing sounds. This isn't just a trekking, it's a journey to one of nature's most awe-inspiring creations. Witnessing a secluded 75-meter waterfall's raw power and beauty is an experience that will stay with you forever.
We do not recommend this long-track hiking for people with height phobia, asthma, and immobility impairment.
After finishing the ancient valley hiking and resting at the expedition post, we can continue to visit Sawer Waterfall, Sultan Basket & the Lake.
