For the absolute best experience at Campuhan Ridge Walk, Bob suggests heading there in the morning. The morning air is still crisp and fresh, and that calm vibe just as the sun is coming up makes the trek so much more enjoyable. Plus, morning is the perfect time to see the hills and rice fields while they’re still covered in morning dew.
So, wake up early and get ready for a fresh and invigorating trek at Campuhan!
In the afternoon
More of an afternoon person? Campuhan Ridge Walk is also awesome to visit when the sun starts to go down!
It gives the sunrise a run for its money, but in the late afternoon, you’ll be treated to a sky turning beautiful shades of orange and pink. The cool evening breeze makes the trek feel super comfortable and relaxing, too.
If you’re here with your partner, you can enjoy a sunset that makes the atmosphere extra romantic. Don’t forget to bring your camera and enjoy the beauty of the afternoon while taking a chill stroll!
