Kota Gede and its charms

Nadhira_A, Jan 2024

Our guide, Upik, was very enthusiastic about sharing the history of Kota Gede. The tour was interactive as we walked through a few stops. Just keep in mind sometimes the weather might be too hot or rainy, so please equipped yourselves. All in all, would recommend if you like first hand historical experience.
