The Jatiluhur Dam is a multi-purpose embankment dam on the Citarum River in West Java, Indonesia. It is located 70 km (43 mi) east of Jakarta, close to the medium-size town of Purwakarta. The dam serves several purposes including the provision of hydroelectric power generation, water supply, flood control, irrigation and aquaculture. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatiluhur_Dam)
I and my college friends had a short vacation there on August 2014. Riding a bikes was an alternative we chose because the place is not too far from Bandung. We enjoyed the vacation even though that was not so special. Big lake and big dam amazed me after all. We took a picture everywhere we could. That was my first time to visit one of the biggest dam in Indonesia.
We had a pray first before we arrived at Jatiluhur dam. |

We witnessed some water-sport athletes were using Jatiluhur lake as their practice area. They are under West Java KONI (Indonesian National Sports Committee). That is the proof that Jatiluhur lake is not an ordinary lake.
Actually, Jatiluhur has a water-park and a place for picnic that we didn't visit. Most people have some vacation in those places. We just wanted to enjoy Jatiluhur from different side. Thank you.
