Walk to the Sri Baduga Museum grounds. Arrive early to find a quiet spot with a clear view of the western horizon. The museum’s collection of Sundanese crafts and geological history provides a grounded backdrop to the sky changing color.

Watch the sun dip below the horizon. The light shifts from bright gold to deep orange as it sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the park.
