RAFTING
wanna share my experience , rafting .
have you guys ever heard about rafting ? that's kinda great sport . officially we ride a boat , and trough pass the river . till the end of the river .
the river is called PEKALEN RIVER , it is located in PROBOLINGGO , EAST JAVA .
we can go there by car , but be carefull of the road , the road was totally extreme and dangerous . the stone was so big , it's really hard for me reaching that place . i went there with my sister and my friends . from SURABAYA to PROBOLINGGO , it needs time about 4 hours by car . After we arrived in that place , the basecamp . the guide asked us to put off all the the stuff that we brought . Afterwards , we took our property that already been prepared by the guide . Row and safety helmet . and so on .
then ..... voila , we r ready to enjoy our rafting :)
tbut we still have to take 1 hour to reach the river , because the river was so far and located in the bottom of the mountain , we still have to track the jungle about 1 hour . ah . i was so exhausted . but it was gone when i reached to the river , wow . so wonderful :) the river was so widht , and surrounding by the rock , and greatly massive . The first that i thought was " oh damn , should i jump to the water ?" feel so creepy watching the boat and the river .
afterwards , the guide gave the instruction getting on the boat , and giving the instruction how the way to puddle the row . and praying also . hahhaa . i was so curious , cant wait to jump to river .
after doing all the preparation , it's time to us going trough the river . voila ....
we passed the water , and we enjoy seeing the cave . there were so many caves beside the river . the one that i know well is " JERAM LOWO " and exactly know , why did that cave was being called as JERAM LOWO , because there were a lot bat hiding behind the cave . and yack ... the smell was so bad . yack . but i think it was so fun . we spent 3 hours going through the river . but it seems just 1 hours , not too long .
we stopped in the middle of the river in order to take a picture , and we basicly stop under the waterfall . wow , so awesome .

KAWAH IJEN - BANYUWANGI
![]() |
| JEEP DAN PARA WISATAWAN MANCANEGARA |
Sesampainya di kawah ijen , kita
akan melewati polhut , seperti pos utama , dan kita pun diharuskan membayar
retribusi tiket sebesar 2rb , jika anda akan mendirikan tenda ,anda juga harus
membayar charge sebesar 15rb , dan disana juga disediakan penginapan yang
berharga sekitar 100rb – 300rb , sesuai dengan macam kamar . Setelah melakukan
proses registrasi , jangan lupa mampir di warung yang tersedia di sana , isilah
energi anda untuk menuju ke kawah ,
karna memang perjalanan yang jauh . Jika anda ingin menggunakan jasa guide
lokal, langsung saja bertanya ke pada penduduk atau pemilik warung di sana .
Saya memulai pendakian saya ,
awalnya saya belum terbiasa dengan suhu dengin di sana, karna memang saya salah
persiapan, kawah , yang terlintas di benak saya saat itu adalah suhuh yang
ekstrim dan panas , sehingga saya hanya menggunakan sweater tipis , dan menggunakan
sandal gunung , dan tanpa sarung tangan , jadilah saya beku selama pendakian
tersebut . Suhu yang dingin dengan curamnya jalan , saya terpaksa berhenti
sejenak untuk beristirahat dan mengabadikan moment indah tersebut . Ketika suhu
udara semakin normal , pertanda sudah akan mendekati kawah , saya sangat
antusias sekali , ketika saya melihat kea rah jurang , terlihat saya sudah
berada di ketinggian yang cukup membuat saya merinding , awan pun sudah
bersejajar dengan saya , dan tak buang waktu , saya melanjutkan perjalanan saya
untuk mencapai kawah ijen .
| POTRET PEKERJA IJEN |
| KERANJANG BELERANG |
Selama perjalanan pastilah terdapat
kepenatan karna memang hanya berjalan dan berjalan , hanya jurang , pohon2
tinggi dan para pekerja yang sibuk mengangkut belerang mereka . Para pekerja
tersebut , rata2 penduduk lokal sekitar kawah ijen , mereka dengan kuat dan
tangguh berjalan dengan membopong belerang yang beratnya sekitar 70 kg , dan
masyallah , saya pun tak bisa membayangkan , mereka harus berjalan sejauh itu ,
mendaki gunung , dengan peralatan seadanya , tanpa alas kaki , dan mereka sudah
terbiasa dengan suhu udara dingin dan panas nya di kawah tersebut . Untuk
pembagian hasil , setelah mereka mendapatkan belerang , mereka harus menimbang
di tempat penimbangan belerang .
Belerang tersebut dihargai R p 650/kg . Banyangkan jika mereka mengangkut
belerang seberat 70 kg , dengan usaha yang berat , mereka hanya mendapat upah
tak lebih dari 50rb . Benar-benar manusia tangguh .
| TEMPAT PENIMBANGAN BELERANG |
Bau dan asap belerang mulai
menyengat hidung saya , saya semakin mempercepat langkah tidak sabar untuk
segera sampai , dan subhanallah .. gunung kapur , besar dan megah berdiri tegak
mengelilingi kawah yang bewarna hijau kebiruan , saya telah sampai di puncak
kawah ijen , udara berubah menjadi panas , dan bau asam dimana mana . Sayangnya,
pada saat itu para wisatawan dilarang turun ke danau kawah, karna status nya
yang sudah siaga . namun, saya tetap senang menikmati walau hanya duduk di
tepian kawah dan menyaksikan indahnya kawah tersebut .
Jangan lupa membeli souvernir untuk
teman dan keluarga anda, souvenir dijual sekitar 5rb rupiah yang berbentuk
macam-macam seperti hello kity kura2 , hitung2 membantu para pekerja dengan
membeli souvenir tersebut .

| SOUVENIR |
Sungguh perjalanan yang tak
terlupakan di kawah ijen , bertemu teman baru , dan menambah pengalaman baru ,
terimakasih banyuwangi , dan para dewi pesona alam-MU . keep traveling and see
you guys on the next trip

KALIBARU - BANYUWANGI
Banyuwangi ,
I didn’t even think that I came to this town again , the town that giving me so
much great time and the memories . after coming back from BROMO , I continued
my trip to Banyuwangi , I don’t think that I would visit it at the first time ,
and I was surprised of seeing the board “ WELCOME TO BANYUWANGI “ wahh … I was
so happy .. first, I was thinking I was gonna visit the beaches . but , it was
totally wrong . KALIBARU . I never heard about it before , and my friend
explained to me about this place . KALIBARU is the name of the kabupaten in
bayuwangi near from gleenmore . Kalibaru is the town of plantation. so, we came
here to see and watch the plantation , I was so glad , that was my first time
of my traveling coming to the plantation :D yippiyy …
We stayed on
MARGOUTOMO cottage, it costs 400.000 IDR / net. That was the cheapest one . Because
we just stayed one night. so we dare to pay
the cottage . The cottage was
designed looks like country house . So
traditional and natural , with the
plantation and the tree of tea and coffee. It makes you feel like in the
village hohoho .. so wonderful hotel . exactly , there are 2 MARGO UTOMO HOTEL , the first MARGOUTOMO was the place where I
stayed , and the second it’s near from the first one .
We continued
to the chocolate factory , we got there by the jeep , the hotel also gives us
the facilities kind of the jeep and the
local guide for going to the factory . it took 1hour going to the factory . I was so amazed seeing the Village , it was so silence and beautiful , the
people were so welcoming . so kind and so harmful.
For the local guide we don’t need to pay, it
includes with the cost of the hotel’s
rent. Actually there was no special there , but we could get more
knowledge by coming there .
Waterfall ,
the place that we should visit after coming from the factory . Wonorejo
waterfall is located in Kalibaru on the
raung mountain. People do believe the
legend of this waterfall . they believe
that this waterfall is the wedding waterfall . The couple who coming here will
be able to be together forever till the
ends of the time. But believe it or not , it’s just a legend J .
Not only
waterfall but also the natural pool that surended by the forest , it is called
JATISRONO pool , people usually come and swim there , but after seeing the
condition , I refused to swim there . it was so dirty and disgusting , what ..
yes , I saw 2 snakes swimming around the pool . wohhhoooo , I was so frankly surprised
, how could we swim the pool while they were watching around us prepare for
biting us . what a terrible . but , not
swimming didn’t mean not enjoying . we kept walking around the forest and
enjoying the fresh air J , well .. we had fun enough , so we got back to the
hotel and continued the next trip KAWAH IJEN J
BROMO 2012
sudah tidak asing lagi dengan nama gunung ini , gunung yang
merupakan salah satu yang masih aktif di jawa
timur ini . Gunung bromo , salah satu gunung diantara kota probolinggo ,
malang , dan Pasuruan . Merupakan salah satu gunung vulkanik yang masih aktif .
Suhu di sana berkisar antara 10 hingga 0 derajat . brrr bisa dibayangkan
bagaimana dingin nya di sana . Perjalanan dapat ditempuh melalui Surabaya namun
sepertinya agak sulit untuk akses angkutan umum ke sana. Hanya sekedar saran,
untuk melakukan perjalanan backpacker ke sana harus dibutuhkan tenaga extra ,
karna memang perjalanan sangat melelahkan melihat medan jalan untuk ke bromo .
Lebih baik lagi anda memesan jeep untuk menuju ke gunung bromo , penanjakan .
Lebih aman . Jangan melewatkan untuk menyaksikan matahari terbenam di pucuk
gunung bromo , kebetulan saat itu saya mendapat spot yang sangat tepat untuk
menikmati sunrise di samping itu kedatangan saya ke sana bertepatan saat
liburan musim panas di eropa dan notabene di sana pun dipenuhi oleh turis-turis
asing dari Negara eropa . Bayangkan seluruh pengunjung adalah orang eropa hanya
para penjual dan para guiding saja yang berwarga Negara Indonesia . Di satu
tempat dengan berbagai macam bahasa
eropa di sana . sudah seperti bukan di Indonesia melainkan di benua eropa .
Langit violet , dan orange mulai menampakan warnanya di langit pagi itu ,
dengan udara yang amat sangat dingin , sehingga memaksa saya untuk memakai kaus
tangan berlapis tiga , bahkan untuk membawa kamera pun saya tidak bisa, karna
bekunya tangan. Di tempat meyaksikan sunrise juga terdapat kedai kopi untuk
para pengunjung yang merasa kedinginan , dan juga disewakan mantel seharga
Rp.10.000 . Dari tempat parkir kea rah gazebo sunrise berjarak sekitar 300
meter , ditempuh dengan berjalan kaki .
Matahari mulai mengintip malu , masih enggan melihatkan
sosoknya . Saya dan para pengunjung lainya tak sabar untuk melihat bagus nya
langit pagi itu . setelah sang fajar mulai Nampak , suasana hening , yang
terdengar hanya jepretan kamera2 pengunjung yang berebut untuk mengambil moment
indah tersebut . Sunrise pagi itu dinikmati oleh berbagai kalangan , remaja ,
orang tua bahkan para pasangan bulan madu yang tak sungkan mengumbar kemesraan
nya di tempat itu . hahahaha . Setelah menikmati sunrise , kami pun melanjutkan perjalanan
kami ke lautan berpasir untuk mendekati ke penanjakan . Kami mengendarai jeep
untuk menuju ke tempat tersebut , jarak tempuh dari tempat melihat sunrise
hingga ke lautan pasir berkisaran 1 jam dengan medan jalan yang dipenuhi dengan
batu dan naik turun nya jalan. Di perjalanan jangan lupa membawa masker , karna
memang jalanan yang berdebu dan berpasir . Untuk anda yang enggan berjalan
menuju ke pananjakan , tidak usah
khawatir , di sana disediakan kuda . Dan otomatis anda pun harus membayar
sekitar 60rb untuk PP – pananjakan gunung pasir . Namun jangan
khawatir , itu pun bisa ditawar hingga separuh harga bahkan sampai seperempat
harga . namun , tidak sampai menuju pananjakan . hanya sampai separuh jalan ,
dan sisanya kita harus berjalan . Kebetulan saat itu saya tidak naik hingga ke
pananjakan hanya stay di lautan pasir , karna keadaan tubuh saya yg tidak fit
saat itu . saya hanya menyaksikan para wisatawan dan menyaksikan pura ditengah
lautan pasir . Terdapat tempat lain di bromo , yaitu pasir berbisik , yang
katanya tempat tersebut lebih bagus diantara yang lain , untuk menuju ke sana ,
anda bisa meminta supir jeep untuk mengantar anda ke sana , dan lagi2 kita
harus membayar . 100rb supir akan mengantar anda sampai ke pasir berbisik
tempat syuting film yang dibintangi oleh
dian sastrowardoyo :D .
