Pacing yourself
- Walk slowly at the start so you have energy to the end.
- Drink little and often. Bring at least 1.5 litres.
- Wear non-slip hiking shoes or sandals, especially in the rainy season.
- Rest in each village. It is also a chance to chat with locals and see weaving.
- Bring a headlamp. If the Inner Baduy trek runs long you may arrive after dark.
Don't forget
- A rain jacket or poncho, a sarong or thin blanket, and spare clothes in plastic bags.
- A torch or headlamp, personal medicine, and snacks.
- Cash and a commuter-train card.
