Challenging Rapids on Ciberang River
Ciberang river is located in Lebak, Rangkasbitung, Banten. You can go about 3 hours by mini bus Bogor-Rangkasbitung from Baranangsiang (Bogor’s bus station), and stop in Cipanas (operator’s place). This river flow is in to region of Halimun Salak Mt National Park. So, that’s why there is many big trees on the edge of river. It has clear water, and rather brown when the debit is high. Rock on the river still looks a lot there, you will be much stuck when the river debit is low. Like i put on the title, rapids in Ciberang is quite challenging. There are variety of rapids which can explode our adrenaline.
Such as Selamat datang rapid (the first rapid on Ciberang), Zig zag rapid, Gajah rapid (a big rapid), Golden gate rapid (rapid formed from descendant dam), Goodbye rapid, and 2nd dam descendant rapid (provided by operator if streamflow of river is possible). One more a thing that can trigger your adrenaline in Ciberang… A gate! Locals called it Bungawari gate. What’s special from a gate? High of the gate is about 7 meters, and river’s depth under the gate is about 3-5 meters. So, u can try to jump here and feel another sensation when ur body splash to river water from the gate. Do you want to try it, guys?
