Like most countries in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has just two seasons – wet and dry. The dry season is typically from around June till September. This is the best time to visit West Java. Going in the wet season isn’t ideal because the majority of West Java’s attractions are outdoors. On top of that, heavy rains can cause flooding and blocked roads.

JUN-SEPT

As advised, this is the dry season in West Java and the best time to visit. We went in July and enjoyed long sunny days everyday. It never gets as hot here compared to the rest of Java which is partly why it’s such a popular weekend getaway for local Jakartans.

OCT-MAY

This is the rainy season in West Java. Most of the region’s top attractions like Kawah Putih, Tangkuban Perahu, and Dusun Bambu are outdoors so going in the rainy season isn’t ideal. Apart from the discomfort of traveling in the rain, heavy rains can cause flooding as well making this an inopportune time to visit.
