situs megalitik gunung padang ini konon terbesar di asia tenggara. letaknya tak jauh dari jakarta, tepatnya di cianjur selatan, tapi lebih gampang ditempuh lewat sukabumi. lokasinya lumayan terpencil dari jalan utama, masuk melewati area perkebunan teh yang berhawa sejuk, hmmm asyik...sepi...dan damai :-)
pertama kali tahu keberadaannya lewat sebuah tayangan di salah satu stasiun tv swasta. seminggu sebelum kami jalan, tepatnya pas perayaan cap go meh tahun lalu, tak sengaja terlontar ajakan untuk menyambangi situs tersebut.
ya sudah....berburu catper, contact sana-sini, trus jadilah kita berempat (

uda bach, & heny) jalan kesono. sungguh trip dadakan yang penuh pengalaman baru, murmer lagi ! :-))
jadi pengen kesono lagi neh.....
