Jalanannya

Kalau dari Tahura itu kira-kira perjalanan ke atas sekitar 3,5km, deket sih cuma jalanannya itu bikin speachless. Udah aspal cuma lumayan rusak, bayangin aja aspal rusak feat jalanan yang naik banget. Intinya kalau mau kesana ikutin jalan gede, ikutin plang Dago Pakar/Bukit Pakar, ketemu rumah-rumah gede dan bakal muncul plang Tebing Keraton, plang khusus Tebing Keraton ini cukup kecil sih, kayaknya buatan warga jadi kalian harus jeli. Tapi mungkin udah diperbaiki sejalan sama makin banyaknya orang dateng kesana.
Oke cukup sekian yang bisa gue share sekarang. Meskipun jalanannya sukses bikin pantat gue emosi, tapi dijamin ga akan nyesel berkunjung kesana. Saran buat kalian semua yang mau ke Tebing Keraton tolong pelihara lingkungan, jangan buang sampah sembarangan, jangan pecicilan waktu di ujung tebing, ya kalau mau nyawa kalian cuma dibayar Rp 20.000.000 sama pihak asuransi sih silahkan, dan sopan. Oh ya kalau gue perhatiin di Tebing Keraton kebanyakan anak muda yang dateng, sepertinya buat wisata keluarga juga kurang pas hehe. Btw kalau mau kesana dari Jakarta/luar kota, bisa cari hotel murah di Bandung sekitaran dago.

streets
If the Tahura it roughly upward journey around 3,5km, deket only does it make speachless streets. It's been just passable damaged asphalt, imagine aja damaged asphalt road that rises feat really. The point is if you want to go there just follow the big road, just follow the signs Dago Pakar / Bukit Pakar, see big houses and will appear signpost palace Cliffs, Cliffs special signpost palace is quite small anyway, I think artificial residents so you must be observant. But it may already be fixed in line at the increasing number of people dateng there.

 

Okay enough so that I can share right now. Although the road was successful make my butt emotion, but guaranteed it will not nyesel visit there. Advice for all of you who want to Cliffs Kraton please maintain the environment, do not litter, do not pecicilan time on the edge of the cliff, so if you want your lives only paid Rp 20 million each insurer does please, and courteous. Oh yes if I perhatiin in Cliff palace mostly young people who came, seemed to make family travel is also less fit hehe.

Travel Paradiso Hidden Land Sundanese, Indonesia

Green Canyon is in Cijulang, West Java, which is about 285 km from Jakarta (31 km from Pangandaran Beach).

This place is a group of cave, with stalactites and stalagmites are hidden behind green cliffs - maybe that's why it is called Green Canyon, a pun of the Grand Canyon in the United States. The local people used to call Cukang Taneuh.

To go to the cave, you should head for the dock and buy a ticket. When going on during holidays (let alone a long weekend), we can be sure you have to wait a few hours to turn up the boat to the cave.

The boats are operated tour of the local population, but arranged by the district. One boat can carry up to five passengers with the rental price of Rp 75,000. If you want to swim in a cave, you can tell the crew of the boat to wait, of course for a fee.

 They will ask for Rp 100,000 for a full day, but of course you will not spend a day there. Tawarlah, maybe you can get Rp 80,000 and Rp 50,000 holiday season when it was empty.

 Each boat always provide a float for passengers, so if you are less good at swimming, do not worry too much. The travelers usually also take advantage of the cave rocks to jump into the clear water.

If you do not like to swim, you can use the time to enjoy the scenery, also took pictures. Before the entrance of the cave, there is a small dock that is usually used by boat to wait. There were several vendors selling drinks and snacks.

One shortcoming of the Green Canyon is the maintenance that is still not good, perhaps because this place is relatively new attractions. Here, there are only three toilets and a small mosque, whereas during the holidays visitors can reach up to hundreds of people.

However, the locals took advantage by providing small rooms and a prayer that is more feasible, only the rate of Rp 2,000. The car park is opposite the pier quite spacious, with a cost of Rp 3,000 for a full day.

All around the parking area there is a row of stalls selling rice and grilled fish and coconut. You may also want to enjoy the local food such as lotek, karedok and salad mashed. In addition to low cost, very suitable to fill the stomach after tired of playing in the cave!

Travel Megalithic Coast in Ujung West Sumba, Indonesia

Sumba southwest shows its beauty through the village Ratenggaro. The village is special because it is located on a seaside cliff Ratewoyo. Its position overlooking the ocean with huge waves break up the rock. Straight ahead, there is no more land to arrive in Africa.

This village was originally located on the headland that is located right on the waterfront. However abrasion and tidal cause water into the house, so residents decided to move the village to a higher cliff.

 
In the former village on the waterfront remains a collection of megalithic stone tomb. The shape is different from the grave stone slab propped as in the city Waikabubak. Grave stone that was here made of solid rock with more than two meters high and decorated with ancient writings and drawings.

 Sitting beside an ancient stone tomb with a beautiful beach to watch the waves crashing, I understand why so revered would Sumba cultural wealth and natural beauty. Soft white sandy beaches and coral flanked by high cliffs reminds me of Tanah Lot in Bali. Of course, the beach is much more beautiful and very quiet. Unfortunately I came a cloudy day so could not watch the sunset.

On the beach I met the old man named Thomas who played traditional musical instruments made of wood. Excerpt of strings adds a magical atmosphere that feels a sense of the place. Fatigue due to travel by motorcycle for two hours straight away.

The village is situated in the area of Kodi, Sumba Barat Daya. Kodi is on the western tip of the island of Sumba. This place is about 80 kilometers from the city where I was staying, Waikabubak. Seen on the road map is a bit twisted, but this is the way most good condition.

This time I was escorted by a guide named Timothy Pingge, a native of Sumba. Although he says the way we passed the most good condition, nonetheless we have to pass through puddles and potholes. Along the way we met a group of school children who smile and friendly greeting every rider who passed them. "Day's mother, father afternoon," they said. The clouds hang so several times we had to take shelter from the rain.

Fields, houses on the edge of the road with grave stones in the courtyard, ravines and forests into an amazing treat for the eyes all the way. Before leaving, we bought souvenirs villagers. Cigarettes for fathers, betel nut for mothers and sweets for children.

Live in an area that is so beautiful had little effect on the welfare of the villagers. Only segelitir of those who make a living from the sea. Moreover, this village consists of only five traditional houses. Fires burned four years ago almost all the houses in the village. Of the 13 houses, only one survived.

Sumba traditional village does have a high risk of fire. Roof made of reeds flammable in the dry season. The fire spread with the wind, so the fire is usually destroys all the houses in the area.

Rebuilding the custom house is not cheap. Villagers told him that a house requires four main pillars to remain standing. "One timber cost the same as a large buffalo," said the residents of the village. That's just the cost of the main mast, not counting the cost to build the walls, floors and roofs. In addition to the costs, materials previously easily obtained from forests is increasingly difficult to find.

Subsequently I visited Kampung Paronabaroro. Conditions villages in this area is different from that of my hometown Waikabubak explore the city before. Its remote location makes this village is still very simple. Marapu belief still held tightly by the occupants.

The old woman wearing a cloth topless. Men and women chew betel nut which makes them spit crimson red. This custom started in their teens and make lips appear as though wearing red lipstick. Horses tethered at the side of the house as a symbol of social status of the family.

The entrance to the village is a path along the approximately 4 kilometers. At the front of the village there is a field full of newer grave stone. Some have been modified by using cement, stone is no longer intact.

Grave stone with older age situated in the center of the village. The complex surrounding a grave stone altar where the conduct of ceremonies. Not just anyone allowed to set foot into the place which is considered sacred.

Electricity had just entered the region at the end of January. The power source comes from generators that fuel is filled by way of a joint venture with several villages around. To save costs, they only use it at night.
