Cikupa

Introduction

Cikupa is a village and an administrative district in Tangerang Regency, part of the province of Banten on the island of Java, Indonesia. The district's administrative centre sits at Budimulya.

This is a place defined less by monuments than by its scale and setting: a broad district on Java's western side, within the wider sprawl of Tangerang Regency. Come expecting an everyday Indonesian town and its surrounding communities rather than a resort or a heritage trail.

Three days in Cikupa

Day one: Start in Cikupa, a town in Tangerang Regency, in the province of Banten on the island of Java, Indonesia. Come to Budimulya to get your bearings, then settle into the rhythm of the town and eat your first Indonesian meal.

Day two: Spend the day in Budimulya, wandering at an easy pace and letting the town's everyday life set the schedule. This is a good day to eat your way through Indonesian cooking and to rest during the warm, humid hours.

Day three: Return to the places in Cikupa you liked best, with a last stop in Budimulya before you leave Tangerang Regency. Keep the day loose, since the heat and the afternoon rain can slow your plans.
