VB, which is located on the northeast slopes of GnSalak, is a great base-camp for trekking and for climbing GnSalak. There are many routes to choose from:

• You can walk to nearby CurugCimuncang, only about 30 minutes from the Gudang Kopi.
• From the fall, you can continue up the adjacent ridgline in the pine forest, then cross to the right to descend on PasirKopengin puspa forest and return to VB. Depending on how high you choose to cross over, you will enjoy a circle hike of about 4, 6 or 8km. 
• You may continue up to the Salak summit at nearly 2100masl, a climb of at least 4-5 hours.
• You could instead choose to begin the circumambulation of GnSalak by crossing to the right (northwest) above VB at an altitude of 800-900masl. You would leave the pines, traverse rasamala and puspa forest, cross the valley of the CipinangGading and reach an extensive pine forest at the public campgrounds of Sukaman­tri, in Taman Sari kecamatan, not far from Ciapus.
For the adventurous, the route up Gn Salak could be extended to a long-distance trek by descending Gn Salak to the south, crossing to Gn Halimun on footpaths across settled rural areas, climbing Gn Halimun (back in the TNGHS), and descending to the south coast of West Java, near Pelabuhan Ratu,. There are footpaths all the way, some not yet surveyed. The trek from VB to thesouth coast would take 4-6 days.
If instead you head off in the other direction, towards the former Pondok Gede tea plantation, that lies to the south of VB, you may climb to the Cipalasari waterfall at the upper edge of the former plantation. From that area, you could also climb the Bitung Lega hill at the foot of Gn Salak.
The VB management can find an experienced guide to accompany you on these explorations if you wish. The guide fee would only be about Rp 80-100,000 per day.
