Day 10, Monday May 22 2023 - my 2nd day visit from Malang > Batu using public transport to visit Batu Flower Garden.
1) Early morning walk from my hotel to a bakery shop nearby to buy pastries as our light lunch for our outstation trip to Batu using public transport - an exploratory visit !
 |
| Freshly baked bread 27,000Rp = Rm8.30 |
2) Taking a city minivan ADL (5,000Rp = Rm1.65) from a bus stop in downtown Malang to Terminal Landungsari (9km) for an outstation ride to Terminal Batu; learning to take public transport & "act" like locals !
 |
| Malang > Terminal Landungsari (approx 9km) |
3) Terminal Landungsari, Malang - my public bus ride (10,000Rp = Rm3.30) from Terminal Langdusari > Terminal Batu, East Java (approx 11km)
4) Terminal Batu, Kota Batu, East Java
5) Taking a minivan from Terminal Batu > Batu Flower Garden but due to miscommunication, the van dropped us off in Batu Love Garden instead !
6) Batu Love Garden, Batu, East Java - entrance fee 55,000Rp (Rm17) but did not enter, due to a miscommunication with our bus driver & a local passenger, our bus dropped us off in this garden instead of Batu Flower Garden so both of us took a Grab (60,000Rp = Rm18.50) to Batu Flower Garden as originally planned !
7) Countryside scenery before arriving at the Park entrance for our visit to Batu Flower Garden, Batu, East Java
8) Park entrance to Coban Rais Ravine & Batu Flower Garden, Batu, East Java - entrance fee 12,500Rp (Rm3.85)
9) A guide to Coban Rais Ravine, Batu Flower Garden & Coban Rais Waterfall - both of us chose to walk to Batu Flower Garden (approx 800m) but local bikers were more than eager to ferry you to the Batu Flower Garden or Coban Rais Waterfall for a service fee ! Pay to enter the various photo spots (package price varies from 25,000Rp = Rm8.00 to 75,000Rp =Rm23) !
10) Batu Flower Garden (Visata), Batu, East Java - took a slow walk & take photo shots of the surrounding greeneries
11) Photo shots No 20 > 24 (Smurfi, Eskimo, Musholla, Tree House & Torii Yuki)
12) Photo shots No 1 > 7 (Ticketing Counter, Flower, Love, Flower Fall, Pinus, Spot Free & Spot Free)

13) Photo shots No 11 > 14 (Camping Ground, Mushola, Rest Area & Cafe Hamoock)
14) Jungle hiking to Wana Wisata Coban Kaca - the start of our 1.5km hike from Batu Flower Garden towards Coban Kaca (Waterfall) but no luck in reaching the waterfall as a big boulder in front of a small waterfall blocked our way from proceeding further ! So near yet so far !
15) After the hike & visit to Batu Flower Garden, both of us took a Go-jet (13,000Rp=Rm4) to Terminal Batu for our return journey back to Kota Malang.
16) Minivan ride (7,500Rp=Rm2.30) from Terminal Batu > Terminal Landungsari, Malang
17) Minivan ADL ride (5,000Rp=Rm1.60) from Terminal Landungsari to a nearest stop in Kota Malang near our Aloha Hotel thus ending our 1st fabulous visit to Batu !
18) Dinner in Rumah Makan Kertanegara Restaurant, opposite Aloha Hotel - each of us savoured a plate of seafood fried rice + lime juice drink totalled 63,250Rp (Rm19.50) & enjoyed a live music performed at the restaurant while eating !
