The morning fog hangs low over a pine clearing as you unzip the tent and watch city lights fade behind the ridgeline—air that tastes like cold springs and crushed fern. This two-day camp-and-trek itinerary in Halimun Salak National Park centers on Gunung Bunder and nearby Pasir Reungit, where rivers dart through boulder fields and a 25–30m waterfall drops into turquoise pools daring you to wade.
