Dusun Bambu Bandung Top Activities & Ticket

Dusun Bambu (Bamboo Village) introduces its visitors to Sundanese culture in one integrated area. It is located in Cisarua, Bandung, at the foot of Mount Burangrang. Like its name, bamboo is chosen as the main element of nature to represent this place.

This is inspired by angklung, the popular Sundanese traditional musical instrument also made from bamboo. Dusun Bambu is created based on Kawula Warga principle. Kawula Warga means ‘family’, is believed to be the most basic and important unit of Sundanese society.

In other words, activities at Dusun Bambu focus on visitors of all ages. From a children’s playground to archery for adults, guests can choose activities based on their preferences.

Landscape-wise, Dusun Bambu is soothing to the eyes with its mountainous landscape. The park so far has been successful to combine nature and tradition with sustainable modern living. Man-made structures from bamboo, and villas to a playground, sit well with the surrounding greenery. This architecture is well-designed and complementing rather than intrusive.

Dusun Bambu Attraction & Activities

There is something to do for everyone. But first, spend some time at Arimbi park. The garden is located near the entrance, so it’s hard to miss when visitors just entered the area. Sit on the grass or stroll among the colorful flowers. Take pictures only, and do not pick any of the flowers.

Across the park, a bamboo playground is ready to invoke anyone’s inner child. There is a wonderland inside the playground with little building replicas resembling a fairytale village. Hundreds of rabbits live in this wonderland. Impatient to be friends with visitors.

Everyone can hug, play with, and also feed the rabbits. It’s truly heaven for bunny lovers. Kampung Ulin is where everything gets more serious. Pick a bow and shoot some arrows at the archery ground. Rent a gun and test the marksmanship by shooting the targets at the shooting ground.

Not everyone likes action-based activities though. For anyone looking for something calm and relaxing, join a course in pottery making instead. There’s also a fish spa, a perfect place just to sit and relax. And let the fish do their job.

Restaurants Unique Concept

Many visitors come to Dusun Bambu solely for its interesting restaurants. Cafe Burangrang is a two stories restaurant with a view. Chose a table on the veranda and enjoy various choices of the Indonesian menu here. The price starts from Rp25.000. For a more quiet atmosphere. Choose Lutung Kasarung Restaurant.

Here guests will eat in a private pavilion resembling a bird’s nest. But meanwhile, the most authentic Sundanese dining experience is the one at Purbasari Restaurant. First visitors need to sail a small canoe to reach the lakeside huts.

There are no chairs and tables at the huts, so everyone has to eat with the Indonesian style ‘lesehan’. Order a complete Sundanese set dish for lunch here. And devour them with bare hands – also an Indonesian traditional way of eating.

But don’t worry, the interior is luxurious and modern while still keeping its traditional charm. Camping is also an interesting alternative to spending the night at Dusun Bambu. Here it’s called glamping, or glamorous camping. Where guests rent a furnished tent with full facilities.
