Pandeglang
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Pandeglang; arrive by car or bus from Jakarta, see the central square and Curug Putri waterfall.
Pandeglang is a small regency capital in southwestern Java, about 2–3 h drive from Jakarta. Its main attractions – the Alun‑Alun square and Curug Putri waterfall – are close to town centre, so a single day is enough unless you add a trip to Ujung Kulon National Park.
