Bogor Selatan

Bogor Selatan is an administrative district in Bogor City comprising sixteen urban villages across elevated terrain. The area combines residential neighborhoods and commercial zones near Mount Salak.

The area was once part of Pakuan Pajajaran, the capital of the Sunda Kingdom, before becoming part of Dutch colonial Buitenzorg. This historical past still shapes the region's structure and heritage.

The district maintains Sundanese traditions through local ceremonies and festivals that take place in the Batu Tulis and Empang neighborhoods. Visitors can observe these cultural expressions in everyday rituals and community gatherings.

Multiple bus routes and the Jagorawi Highway connect the district with central Bogor and Jakarta. The hilly terrain can be challenging when exploring on foot.

The district receives substantial rainfall that supports dense vegetation, making it one of Indonesia's wetter regions. This abundant moisture creates a lush green landscape that thrives throughout the year.
