MATP main entrance

To learn and experience about living in the countryside was the purpose of this school trip, and for that they went to Mekarsari Amazing Tourism Park (MATP) in Cileungsi, West Java, three weeks ago.

MATP was formerly known as Mekarsari Fruit Park, the biggest tropical fruit garden in the country. Later they changed the name to Mekarsari Amazing Tourism Park after adding more facilities in the area. Now they offer many recreational facilities, various tour packages and hold many events as well.

Special event for this month ~
The Jungle Festival

In this trip Evan and his friends were in the Paddy Village package which include planting paddy, bathing water buffalo, painting farmer’s hat, catching fish game, boat cruising, tour around vegetable garden, etc. It’s a lot of activities for a half day trip (but quite cheap with less than $7 per pax). The kids were worn out when they went back home but they certainly had a blast. Here are some pictures from the trip, will post some more in the next posts.

Fun learning in the paddy field

Dirty and exhausted, yet they enjoyed it

Playing together in the picnic ground

Boat cruising around Cipucung lake

Shuttle bus for touring around the park

There are still many things to explore in the park, so we might go back there for our family trip later. After all the place is quite near, only an hour drive from our home.

Thanks for stopping by everyone, have a great day :grin:.
