Indonesia has so many tourism destinations. There are so many places to go, especially for those who like to explore the beauty of nature in Indonesia. We can go to waterfall, lake, beach, and mountain. If we talk about the nature tourism destination, Malang is one of the city in Indonesia which has so many of it. Like for example, I went to a waterfall called Coban Talun last week and it was a blast.
Coban Talun is located at Dusun Wonorejo, Desa Tulungrejo, Kec. Batu, Tulungrejo, Bumiaji, Malang, East Java. The waterfall or well-called as Coban is in between the big stones. Coban Talun is surrounded by forest and mountain. Coban Talun has a height of about 75 meters in diameter +/- 15 meters. Located at an altitude of 950 mdpl with a temperature of 18 - 230C with sloping topography and an average rainfall of 1,800 mm / year (wisatapedi.com).
The access to go to the waterfall itself is quite easy. The road is not too bumpy. We can go by motorbike, car, or even bus. We only have to pay Rp 10.000 for the entrance ticket and Rp 3.000-Rp 5.000 for the parking. We have to walk for about 30-45 minutes from the parking lot to reach the waterfall. We will pass by pine forest with its cold weather, so refreshing! For those who like taking pictures, this is a good place for you guys to go. You will not be disappointed. There is such a place to sit and chill in this pine forest. I was really glad being there! Going to the forest deeper, we will find a river and green wide land. There is a bridge made from bamboo and wood. There is a myth of this bridge. A couple who can go through the bridge together, will have a long last relationship. The view near the bridge is so beautiful. There are only five persons allowed to pass the bridge because of the safety. After passing the bridge, the challenge begins! A slippery path that goes down and up. However it's challenging and not too difficult. After long way walking, we finally will hear the sound of the waterfall and there you go! Coban Talun is in fron of you. The water is so cold. Happy enjoying the beautiful nature of Indonesia.
If you plan on going to this waterfall, you need to wear non-slippery sandals or shoes or boots even better. You do not need to wear jacket 'cause hey enjoy the fresh weather here. It is okay to feel the sensation of the water but there is no proper restroom near the waterfall. You have to go back to the parking lot to find a restroom. Anyway, this tourism destination is worth visiting. You will not be disappointed visiting this place.
