Banten

The westernmost province of Java, home to Jakarta's main airport, with Ujung Kulon National Park and Anyer beach.

Banten lies at the western end of Java, facing Sumatra across the Sunda Strait, with Serang as its capital. Jakarta's Soekarno–Hatta International Airport is located in the province's Tangerang area. Ujung Kulon National Park in the southwest is a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site and the last habitat of the Javan rhinoceros; along the west coast, Anyer and Carita have beaches, and boat trips offer views of Anak Krakatau. Inland are villages of the Baduy people, who maintain a traditional way of life. The dry season, May to September, is the better time to go, and the attractions are a few hours' drive from Jakarta.
