Jonggol

Jonggol is a district in Bogor comprising multiple villages spread across undulating terrain at varying elevations. The area is characterized by rural settlements connected through main roads, with villages situated at different levels of the landscape.

The district was considered as a potential site for a new capital city during President Soeharto's administration, reflecting its strategic importance in the region. This consideration highlighted interest in its advantageous location and natural conditions.

The area maintains Sundanese traditions through everyday customs and community gatherings that shape local life. Visitors can observe these practices in traditional crafts and the way people come together during celebrations throughout the villages.

The area is accessible through toll roads and alternative routes from nearby Cibubur, which connect to the regional transport system. Visitors should expect longer travel times, especially when coming from Bogor, and should account for the hilly landscape when planning movement around the district.

The area is sometimes compared to the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan because of its mountainous terrain with similar landscapes. This comparison arose from the notable elevation differences and hilly nature of the land, which resembles other mountainous regions.
