West Java 西爪哇: Mount Gede + Cibodas Botanical Garden
We, a group of five birders, visited these two places on 1-5 Aug (2-3 Aug: Mt Gede; 4 Aug: Garden).
Mt Gede is about 2-hr drive from the Jarkata airport. The uphill trail is full of birds and some are endemics. Usually 2D1N trip but a long day trip is possible. It took us about 8 hrs walking from the entrance to the campsite (we walked extremely slowly due to birding. Total distance one way = about 7km). Birders with general fitness should complete the trail without difficulty.
Our guide is [b]Boas[/b] ([email]Jakartabirder@ymail.com[/email]). He could be reached by whatsapp (pls email him first to get his phone no). He is an excellent guide and took good care of us during the trip. Also a very hard working guy and helped us "ticking" a lot of new birds. Anyway, highly recommended.
We saw 94 bird species. A good trip in general!
For details, pls check (Part 1-3)

我們一行5人(包括雀運霉到中外的壞蛋七號) 於本年8月1-5日去爪哇西部的Mount Gede (2-3 Aug) 及 Cibodas 植物園 (4 Aug) 。注意: 週未兩個地方超多人，雀友應避免週未到訪) 。
Mount Gede距耶加達國際機場約2小時車程。Mount Gede上山小徑烏况良好 (有很多烏種更是特有種) 。此段旅程通常係兩日一夜，但一整天的旅程是可以的，不過就上不到高地找一些特有種。我們總共用了8小時去行7km的上山旅程，行程緩慢主要因為揾雀。事實上這條山徑保養良好，沒有太多急斜路段，鳥友只要有一般體力，應可應付得來。
我們的鳥導是Boas ([email]Jakartabirder@ymail.com[/email]) ，可跟他用 whatsapp聯絡。Boas是位專業勤力及細心的鳥導，幫助我們tick很多新雀，值得推介。在此感謝他及其團隊的努力。
全程我們看到94種雀，短線觀鳥行來說算是不俗。
觀鳥行的詳情，可見以下blog (part 1-3 只限英語)
