About the route
The early morning trains are the Bima at 01:24, Manahan at 01:53 and Cakrabuana at 05:30, which reach Jakarta in the early morning. For a daytime journey, the Taksaka at 09:22, Argo Lawu at 11:10 and Argo Semeru at 15:06 are good choices.
If you are visiting Baturraden before you go back, it is about half an hour from the city, so leave time to get to the station. Gambir is in the centre of Jakarta, and the train takes you straight to the main business district.
