Kuningan has repeatedly held angklung festivals and is always crowded with visitors. Not only from Kuningan area itself, but also from other regions who want to see firsthand the grand event of this traditional musical instrument.
Interested in witnessing this annual festival? You can go to Kuningan by train. The easiest way is to buy Indonesian train tickets to Cirebon. From here, then you can continue the trip by mini bus or elf to Kuningan.
Usually, when the angklung festival season arrives, Indonesian train tickets to Cirebon are always sold out. Therefore, you should prepare yourself for a long time so you don't run out. And be sure to buy at Traveloka which is already known as a trusted Indonesian train ticket agent.
Compared to other lines, the train to Cirebon and then on to Kuningan is the fastest and most affordable transportation option. With a limited budget, you can enjoy the thrill of the angklung festival in Kuningan and all the way to other places that are not less interesting in this area.
