Access
The Puncak area can be reached from Jakarta and Bandung via National Road Route 2. In addition, this area can also be accessed via Jagorawi Toll Road and Bocimi Toll Road. Roads to the Peak often experience traffic jams on weekends and long holidays, so that jockey services appear "rat road" which shows an alternative path to avoid traffic. The jockey installed a tariff of Rp 100,000 for the 5 km Pandansari-Citempuan route and Rp 300,000 for the 12 km Ciawi-Dam route. Head of the Bogor District Police Traffic Unit Adjunct Commissioner Muhammad Chaniago did not recommend motorists to cross the alternative road because the road was winding and steep and passed through the residents' villages
