While Rumah Penampungan is a guesthouse, we found it offers a wonderfully authentic and comfortable base for park exploration, feeling both rustic and welcoming. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, and we particularly appreciate the warm hospitality from the hosts, making it feel like a home away-from-home after a long day of trekking.

We've had fantastic luck spotting Javan gibbons and various langur species in the forest fringes near Rumah Penampungan, especially at dawn. The park itself is a birder's paradise, and we recommend keeping an eye out for endemic species like the Javan hawk-eagle and Javan trogon on your hikes.
