We all can do with a little bit of escape from Jakarta’s busy life, and there is no better way to do so than by getting closer to nature. Taking a breath of fresh air is more important than ever especially during this pandemic, and glamping – short for “glamorous camping” – offers you a chance to do just that while enjoying comfy beds and marveling at the beauty of nature.
Luckily, you don’t have to worry about straying too far from Jakarta as there are beautiful glamping spots aplenty you can reach within only 3.5 hours’ drive. Here are 10 glamping spots just outside Jakarta for a quick weekend getaway from the city’s hustle and bustle.
