In response to global warming, many hotels in Bandung, West Java, have adopted an environmentally friendly approach since early 2008 and have reaped its benefits so far, such as efficiency in energy and water consumption.

The Aston Hotel Braga, for instance has adopted the concept since July 2008 and has pocketed a total budget saving of 20 percent from a series of campaigns to save power and water consumption and replacing electrical components such as lamps and air-conditioners.

For those who prefer green traveling, offsets the carbon, luxurious lodges and back to nature, there are some tips to have it with low cost but exciting experiences.

1. Stray from the beaten path
    
By visiting areas that few tourists go to, you can avoid adding to the stress on hot spots and enjoy a more authentic experience. Plus, you'll save money by not paying a premium for limited space.
For example : Visit Gede Pangrango National Park, it's remote and wild,you're your payoff in terms of wildlife spotting will off the charts. Compared to some of nature-made-resorts such as Safari Park's lodges, you will spend less money to have Green Exotic experience.

Nasi Timbel is the famous Sundanese dish, and a must try local delicacy.  Nasi Timbel consists of steamed rice (white or red rice) in a tube-shaped wrapped in banana leaf (by covering it in banana leaf will make the rice more aromatic and appetizing,... mmm..yummy), lalapan/raw vegetables (tomatoes, coriander leaves, eggplants, cabbages, lettuces, and so on), sambal terasi (shrimp-paste chili sauce), tomatoes sauce, tempe (made of fermented soybean), tahu (fried tofu), ayam (fried or roasted chicken), pepes Ikan Mas (goldfish wrapped in a banana leaf and roasted) and a sliced of jambal/ikan asin (salted fish). And served with sayur asam, a vegetable soup given a sour flavour by the addition of tamarind.
Nasi timbel one of my favorite Indonesian food ^_^.
