Lokasi pengambilan data yaitu terletak di Kebun Raya Cibodas, Kabupaten Cianjur. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi lapang, wawancara, dan studi literatur. Analisis data dilakukan dengan analisis deskriptif. Jalur yang memenuhi untuk jalur interpretasi khusus tunanetra hanya sepanjang 1.144,49 meter (11,77%). Jenis tanah berupa humic andosol. Potensi interpretasi berupa flora dan fauna. Kebutuhan dan preferensi tunanetra untuk inclusive berupa jalur yang dapat dilalui minimal dua orang secara bersamaan, guiding block, dan jalur yang dilengkapi railing, media interpretasi berupa taktil dan audio, serta jenis interpretasi terpandu (guided), namun terdapat beberapa perbedaan bagi setiap rentang usia.

Blindness is a condition when the sense of sight is limited. The need for natural recreation and ecotourism for all levels of society, including people with visual impairments, has encouraged the formation of the inclusive tourism paradigm. This research aims to design interpretive route facilities for inclusive tourism at the Cibodas Botanical Gardens. The study was conducted in January-February 2024. The data was collected in the Cibodas Botanical Gardens, Cianjur Regency. Data was collected using field observations, interviews, and literature studies. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive analysis. The path that meets the particular interpretation path for blind people is only 1144.49 meters (11.77%), potential interpretation in the form of flora and fauna. The needs and preferences of blind people for inclusive include paths that can be used by at least two people at the same time, equipped with guiding blocks, and railings, tactile and audio interpretive media, as well as guided interpretation, with some distinction for each age range. A total of four unique interpretation routes were design in this study.
