Discovering Malabar Highlands: A Java Private Tour Special

Our journey begins in the enchanting Malabar Highlands, a place steeped in history and natural beauty. Did you know that Malabar was the site of the first coffee industry in the Dutch East Indies during the early 18th century? The elevation of Malabar proved to be perfect for cultivating Arabica coffee, making it a sought-after commodity in Europe. This is where the term “Java” became synonymous with coffee.

Fast forward to the present day, and Malabar continues to be a haven for agriculture, now featuring not only coffee but also tea plantations. Thanks to Karel Albert Rudolf Bosscha, who managed tea estates here in 1865, the highlands became a thriving hub. Bosscha’s contributions weren’t limited to tea; he also played a significant role in funding institutions like Technische Hogeschool Bandung (ITB) and establishing the renowned astronomical observatory in Lembang.

As you embark on the first day of your Java adventure with Java Private Tour, the spotlight will shine on the Malabar Highlands, allowing you to witness the rich legacy of coffee and tea cultivation against the backdrop of stunning landscapes.

Moving on, our next stop is none other than the capital of Priangan, the charming city of Bandung. In 1864, Bandung took over the status of Cianjur as the new capital of Priangan. Initially part of the Post Road system built by Daendels, Bandung boasts numerous colonial buildings and art deco-style architecture from the 1920s and 30s. This was all part of a grand plan to make Bandung the administrative center of the Dutch East Indies, replacing Batavia. However, fate had other plans with the arrival of the Japanese forces during World War II.
