The streets were made ​​hotmix, though not entirely.

Most delicious reach this lake, of course, by using a private car. I do not know if there is public transportation to get there because it is quite remote. Located at an altitude of 734 asl (above sea level), access road to the lake is quite narrow and steep. Be careful if the ability to drive in the mountains not too advanced. There will be corners and winding uphill. I rarely use 1st gear when I'm up the mountain, but on the way to Ngebel, there are sites that force me to use a tooth 1.

Ngebel lake views offered extraordinary. Unspoiled and quiet. More beautiful than the lake Situgunung Sukabumi.
