How Ciptravels Co-Creates Cultural Travel with Gunung Padang

Published by Ciptravels – May 17, 2025

At Ciptravels, we believe travel should not just be consumed — it should be co-created. One of our proudest examples of this is our ongoing cultural collaboration with Dinas Kebudayaan Cianjur at Gunung Padang Southeast Asia’s oldest megalithic site.

More Than a Destination — A Cultural Dialogue

Our goal was never to simply bring tourists to a place. We worked closely with local cultural leaders, elders, and artists to understand how this sacred site wants to be shared. Together, we co-designed experiences that are respectful, immersive, and deeply rooted in Sundanese tradition.

Experience Designed With the Community

  • Traditional welcome dance and story introduction by local performers.
  • Guided walking meditation at sunrise through the megalithic paths.
  • Yoga rituals and herbal teas rooted in local healing practices.
  • Lunch with elders, featuring local Sundanese recipes like pepes ikan and nasi liwet.

Why It Matters to Us ?

In every partnership, Ciptravels seeks to honor local wisdom. At Gunung Padang, this means empowering cultural hosts, protecting sacred rhythms, and offering travelers not just a tour — but a chance to listen, feel, and reflect.

“It’s not about what you see — it’s about how you’re invited in.”
