Kebun Nara Sawangan Depok is located approximately 30 kilometers south of Jakarta. The easiest way to reach the plantation is by car or motorcycle. From Jakarta, take the Jagorawi Toll Road and exit at the Ciawi Toll Gate. Follow the signs to Sawangan, and the plantation is located about 10 kilometers from there.
P.S. the road access to reach the location is very small and narrow, thus I would recommend to be extra careful. Although the location point on your GPS is accurate so simply follow the route.
