Mount Inerie, the Volcanic Pyramid of East Flores

Located in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, this mountain attracts climbers thanks to its iconic pyramid shape and its status as an active volcano.

While Mount Sadahurip in Garut, West Java, is known for its pyramid-like shape, on Flores Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Mount Inerie is no less captivating. This mountain is located in Ngada Regency, approximately fifteen kilometers south of Bajawa, the regency's capital. With its pointed, symmetrical peak, Mount Inerie presents a majestic silhouette reminiscent of ancient Egyptian pyramids.

The beauty of this still-active volcano can be enjoyed from various vantage points. Aimere and Manulalu Inn are two favorite spots to view Mount Inerie in its entirety. From these vantage points, the pyramidal silhouette of the mountain, which last erupted in 1970, is most clearly visible, especially when the sky is clear and the sun shines on its slopes.

"Even though this mountain rises to 2,245 meters above sea level, the journey time to the summit is relatively short—about three to five hours."

For those seeking a more intimate experience, climbing Mount Inerie can be an unforgettable option. Although the mountain rises 2,245 meters above sea level, the journey to the summit is relatively short—around three to five hours. This is because the hiking trail begins from Watumeze Village, which is already located on a plateau. Climbers usually begin early in the morning to reach the summit in time for sunrise, offering stunning views that are well worth the effort. Mount Inerie is most visited during the dry season, between June and August, when the weather is more favorable and the hiking trail is in optimal condition.

However, climbing Mount Inerie is not easy. The hiking trail is dominated by gravel and rocks all the way to the summit, making the terrain slippery and difficult to walk on. In some sections, climbers may even have to crawl to continue ascending. The lack of vegetation along the trail also poses a challenge, especially if climbing during the day when the sun is directly blazing without shade.

"The climbing route is dominated by gravel and rocky terrain all the way to the summit, making the terrain slippery and difficult to walk on."

After traversing quite challenging terrain, climbers will reach the first ridge. From this point, the deep crater of Mount Inerie begins to appear. However, the journey is not over. Rocky terrain and increasingly steep slopes remain to reach the highest peak. After about 30 minutes of climbing from the final ridge, climbers will finally reach the summit, marked by three cross-shaped poles embedded in the ground. From this point, the Bena Traditional Village—located right at the foot of the mountain—can be clearly seen and is a unique attraction in Ngada Regency.

Climbing Mount Inerie is well-known among both local and international tourists. For further information or guide services, a tourist information center in Bajawa City is available to assist visitors.

Gunungkidul Pindul Cave Nature Tourism, Enjoy Nature with Cave Tubing

Pindul Cave Tourism Object Gunungkidul - Pindul Cave which is located in the hamlet of Titleran I, Bejiharjo Village, Karangmojo District, Gunung Kidul, about 7 km to the north of Wonosari City, is one of seven caves fed by an underground river in the Beriharjo area. The Pindul Cave Tourism Object has a water depth of about 5 meters, a length of about 300 meters, and a width of 5 meters, and the distance between the roof of the cave and the water surface is about 4 meters.

In one part of Pindul Cave, precisely in the middle of the cave, there is a rather large room with a hole on top, the people around the cave call it an inverted well, and the atmosphere is even more impressive with the beautiful natural panorama with sunlight entering this room. This hole is often used as a vertical entrance by members of the Sar Team or by visitors to Pindul Cave Tourism.

History of Pindul Cave

According to stories circulating in the surrounding community, it all started with a character named Kyai Jaluwesi who had a conflict with a giant named Bendhogrowong. The two of them were involved in fighting supernatural powers, with Kyai Jaluwesi excelling. The giant then issued his knowledge due to feeling pressured. Unfortunately, the knowledge went wrong about Widodo and Widadi's pet dog, Kyai Jaluwesi's twins. The dog, named Sona Langking, was seriously injured and ran wildly toward a water source that was behind the bushes. Kyai Jaluwesi, who followed Sona Langking's running direction, was shocked when he found that his dog had recovered from a serious injury caused by the giant's magic.

Seeing this, Kyai Jaluwesi then named the water source Mbelik Panguripan, because it was able to heal the severe injuries his dog had suffered. Sometime after that incident, a man and woman named Kyai and Nyai Sejati appeared who wanted to rule over the land around Mount Bang. They asked Kyai Jaluwesi to move from that place, and Kyai Jaluwesi agreed. Even so, Kyai Jaluwesi wanted a condition, that is, after his move, the people of Gunung Bang had to hold a clean lepen (river) event, ledhek (tayub) dancers, on Monday Most every year. Then Kyai Jaluwesi moved to the Pindul Cave area, until moksa, and is believed to be a caretaker at Pindul Cave and Mbelik Panguripan.

Of course, legends or stories circulating cannot be trusted one hundred percent, but a good reader should be able to understand what is behind each legend, not even consider it mystical or unreasonable. The Gunungkidul Pindul Cave Tourism Object, which is currently the prima donna of cave tubing tourism, is indeed very interesting and offers a different sensation from other tours that are common in Yogyakarta.

Cave Tubing Sensation

Cave tubing is almost the same as rafting (rafting). If rafting or white water rafting is an activity along a river using a boat, then cave tubing is an activity along a cave by riding on an inner tube. Because the flow of water in the Pindul Cave Nature Tourism Object is calm and the water discharge is relatively the same both in the rainy season and the dry season, cavetubing in Pindul Cave can also be done by beginners or small children.

When you go exploring in Pindul Cave, you will find a stalactite that has merged with a stalagmite so that it looks like a pillar with the width of five adult arms (Soko Guru). This stalactite is the largest in Pindul Cave and is ranked number 4 in the world.

Facilities at the Pindul Cave Tourism Object

Cave tubing tours in Pindul Cave provide guides who can guide us to cave tubing. The manager has provided cave tubing equipment such as tires and life vests, as well as headlamps. To rent these facilities, visitors will be charged a fee of around IDR.25,000 - IDR.30,000.

The unspoiled natural scenery of Setren Waterfall with panoramic views of the hills and waterfalls is the main attraction to be enjoyed.

Slogohimo sub-district is one of the mainstay sub-districts producing regional original income (PAD) Wonogiri. Especially if judging from the geographical location, the Slogohimo area is a fairly busy intersection area. If you go east, you will go to the Purwantoro District area which is the border area with East Java, while if you go south you will also penetrate East Java.

The natural potential of the mountains is a source of domestic foreign exchange, namely the Girimanik waterfall in Setren Village. This area can be said to be similar to the Tawangmangu area, Karanganyar, only the Setren area is not well known by the wider community. However, judging from the natural conditions, the beauty and coolness are almost the same as in the Tawangmangu area, Karanganyar.

Since 2000, the Government of Wonogiri Regency has tried to develop nature tourism in the Girimanik waterfall mountains. The natural wealth of the mountains is one of the mainstays of the Slogohimo area. In fact, the Wonogiri Regency Government also has high hopes for the Girimanik mountain area. The reason is that if the Girimanik mountain area is developed optimally, it will be able to generate local revenue.

Apart from Setren Waterfall, in the Girimanik mountains, there is also spiritual tourism, so in the Wonogiri area, spiritual tourism can be found in Tirtomoyo, Paranggupito, and Slogohimo sub-districts.

In Girimanik nature tourism, there are three waterfalls, namely Manikmoyo waterfall, Condromoyo waterfall, and Tejomoyo waterfall. The physical attraction in the form of beautiful and natural mountain scenery makes this waterfall a mainstay of tourism development.

Every year, the traditional ceremony of Susuk Wangan is held at Setren, which is a thanksgiving ceremony for Setren residents for the crops they have achieved. During the Susuk Wangan ceremony, tourist visitors can see hundreds of roasted chickens offered by the farmers to the Creator.

In addition, the Donoloyo forest, which is overgrown with large teak trees, is one of the potentials developed by the Slogohimo District. Apart from that, the Slogohimo sub-district is also known by the community as a producer of durian fruit. Durian fruit from Slogohimo is often sent to Jakarta or other big cities. Moreover, the durian fruit from Slogohimo has its own taste. Durian fruit has great potential and is suitable for development in the Slogohimo area

The exoticism of Sri Gethuk South Mountain Waterfall

Sri Gethuk Waterfall Tourism Object - Located between the Oya river gorge and surrounded by green rice fields, makes the Natural Enchantment of Sri Gethuk Waterfall is even more interesting to enjoy. This waterfall, which is located in Padukuhan Menggoran, Bleberan Village, Player District, South Mountain Regency, Yogyakarta, is a waterfall that does not originate from the main river. Precisely Srigethuk Waterfall divides the Oya river cliffs and merges into the same flow, so it is not surprising that there is an atmosphere of contrast. The waterfall is so clear, while the Oya river water is cloudy. An interesting combination to be enjoyed. Sri Gethuk Waterfall always flows regardless of the season. Its roar broke the silence on the dry land of South Mountain.

Getting to the tourist location of Sri gethuk Waterfall is not difficult. There are many signposts that will lead you to the location. After the Gading airport, you just have to turn right. After the Player market, there is a T-junction with a sign to the right. Follow the road and pay attention to the signposts. The village's smooth roads seem to take off the image of South Mountain, which is all deprived.

This atmosphere is completely different from the situation two years ago. The cobbled streets have been replaced with paved roads. The road to the location has also been made circular past the Rancang Kencono cave. This rocky ring road passes through beautiful natural scenery with a stretch of the moor. This ring road is made to make it easier for visitors so they don't get stuck in traffic jams when the flow of visitors is booming.

Stalls selling various typical South Mountain dishes are lined up neatly to the river's edge. Bathroom facilities and changing rooms are also available in the parking area.

In the past, there was only one gethek serving. Now, I see that there are three getheks who are ready to accompany tourists who will enjoy the beauty of Srigethuk. The tourists who use the services of this gethek have to spend ten thousand to go back and forth. If you want a bit of a challenge, you can go to the location on foot through the rice fields and fields.

Entering the Sri Gethuk Waterfall Tourism area, there is such a mystical aura. The strength of this aura is further strengthened by the circulation of myths that exist and develop in society. Sri Gethuk is the name given to this waterfall. This name comes from a gamelan musical instrument, namely kethuk. It is said that it was at this location that the genie Uango Menduro kept the kethuk. Over time and to make it easier to pronounce, the kethuk pronunciation changes to gethuk. Be the name of Sri Gethuk. So, the name gethuk has nothing to do with the name of one of South Mountain's specialties.

Thus a brief review of Srigethuk South Mountain Waterfall, all information regarding this exotic tourist object is summarized from various sources. I hope this can be a reference for you to get to know more about the Enchantment of the Beauty of the Sri Gethuk Gunungkidul Waterfall Tourism Object. Hope it is useful.

Access to Lake Segara Child

There are several paths known as the Lake Segara Anakan hiking trail and the summit of Rinjani. First, the Sembalun Route; This route is pretty much chosen by tourists and climbers. The Sembalun route is as follows: Mataram–Sembalun–Sembalun Lawang–Segara Child Lake.

The distance from Mataram to Sembalun is a 4-5 hour drive. You can rent a car to get directly to Sembalun. However, if you choose to take public transportation, you will have to change cars twice. From Mataram, take public transportation to Aikmel; the journey then continues from Aikmel to Sembalun with other public transportation. Instead, you go early if you use public transportation because the Aikmel–Sembalun transport only operates until 12 noon.

This route is dominated by savanna because this path is rather hot due to exposure to the hot sun in the open fields. Even so, this path still presents beautiful natural scenery and is not too steep when compared to the Senaru route.

Second, the Senaru Line: Mataram–Senaru–Lake Segara Child–Pelawangan Sembalun–Top of Rinjani.

From the Mandalika Terminal in Mataram, the trip to Senaru can be reached by public or rented transportation for 3-4 hours. From Senaru to Lake Segara Saplings can be reached on foot for 7-10 hours. If you want to get to the top of Rinjani, to reach the next point, namely Pelawangan Sembalun, the trip takes 4 hours. From there, the journey to the top can be reached for 2-3 hours on foot.

The Senaru route is one of the most chosen by visitors. This path is also a hiking trail that is also commonly taken by the people of Lombok when they want to hold religious and cultural ceremonies at Lake Segara Child.

Unlike the Sembalun Route, which is dominated by savanna, the Senaru Route is a path through the wilderness and passes through a path with rocks. But you don't need to worry, this rocky path is equipped with a safety rope for you to hold. In addition, there are three posts as a means of resting before arriving at the lake. If you want to reach the top of Mount Rinjani, the journey continues for 4-5 hours on foot.

Third, the Torean Route: Mataram–Torean–Segara Child Lake. Mataram to Torean is approximately a 4-5 hour drive. From Torean, the journey to Lake Segara Anak can be reached on foot for 8-9 hours. Unlike the two previous routes, this route offers views of rivers, farm fields, plantations, production forests, and pastures, and the opportunity to observe the animals and plants typical of the area.
