To
discover the real, unspoiled East Java means a visit to
the town and surroundings of Blitar, where most of the
remains of the Majapahit Kingdom still stand timeless,
including the largest and most beautiful Hindu temple
complex in East Java, Candi Penataran. This nostalgic
town portrays the untouched, exotic Java, surrounded by
some beautiful, unspoilt beaches, tropical landscapes,
beautiful rice fields and countryside sceneries.
The Hindu temples at Penataran are the largest intact
Majapahit temples, and the finest examples of East Javanese
architecture and sculpture. These temples are inherited
from the Majapahit kingdom’s golden period, during
the governance of King Hayam Wuruk, and are located on
the lower slopes of Mount Kelud, around twenty kilometers
north of Blitar. Construction began around 1200 during
the Singosari dynasty, but the temple complex took some
250 years to complete. And what we see today is almost
entirely the work of Majapahit architects and builders
as a place to worship the god Siva. It served also as
the rest place for King Hayam Wuruk during his journeys
to visit his grandfather’s grave in Simping temple.
For something unforgettable
in Java, bring the experience to another height. Reserve
the private sunset dinner by the
Penataran Temple and find yourself transported into another
world with the charm of ancient beauty. |

featuring a collection of Javanese antique and artworks
that tell the romantic tales of the history of East Java.
Blitar is a small charming

the legendary first President and proclamator of Indonesia
's independence, where he was then buried and paid tribute
until this very day.
The surroundings and
the road to Blitar are bordered by beautiful rice fields
and countryside sceneries of East Java , whereas the beaches

tricycle vehicle.

of the remains of Majapahit Kingdom stand as if timeless,
including the largest and most beautiful of Hindu temple
complexs in East Java, the Candi Penataran. This nostalgic

Hinduism used during the Majapahit Empire era
with Kamadhatu and Rupadhatu and artifacts including
the Lingga Yoni, a symbol of fertility.
In this shady place with its ancient trees, you
will find a very clear green lake inhabited by
hundreds of rare fish. Legend has it these fish
came from the Majapahit era, known as Sengkaring
meaning "Gods fish” and since that
time the number has never diminished nor increased.
The fish are revered by the local public, so although
the fish seem quite benign, no one dares to catch
them because it is believed that anyone who catches
them will get bad fortune.
• Enjoy afternoon tea at Waroeng Djawa with
our selection of local teas and traditional delicacies,
every Friday you can enjoy listening to the soothing
sounds of traditional gamelan.
• Visit the Tomb of Soekarno. Here the legendary

to pay tribute to him. Visit the library built
inside the complex. Inside this art-deco style
building, many of the original collections and
memorabilia from Soekarno’s life can be
viewed.
• Visit Penataran Temple, the largest and
most important Hindu temple complex in East Java.
The temples were inherited from the Majapahit
Kingdom’s golden period, during the governance
of King Hayam Wuruk, and are located on the lower
slopes of Mount Kelud, around twenty kilometers
north of Blitar. Construction began around 1200AD
during the Singosari Dynasty, but the temple complex
took some 250 years to complete. What can be seen
today is almost entirely the work of Majapahit
architects and builders who created a place to
worship the god Siva. It served also as the resting
place for King Hayam Wuruk during his journeys
to visit his grandfather’s grave in Simping
temple. For something unforgettable from Java,

and find yourself transported into another world
with the charm of ancient beauty while you are
serenaded by the beautiful rhythm of bamboo flutes
played by a villager.
Day Two
• After breakfast in
The Colony Restaurant, discover the protected forest,
“Pacuh” with its huge ancient trees
and a spring who water is believed to beautify the
appearance as well as complement the natural ambience.

• Enjoy traditional street food and blend
in with the local way of life in the City of Blitar.
• Visit Sawentar Temple, surrounded by a verdant
tropical setting, and only reached by following
a narrow path passing by a small traditional village.
The origins of the temple are uncertain but it is
from around the early to mid 13th century. The base
of the temple lies several meters below the present
ground level, where it was buried under a mass of
lava, presumably from an eruption of the nearby
volcanic Mount Kelud.
• Enjoy the beautiful stalactite and stalagmites
of Embultuk Cave around a kilometer and a half long.
Here you will feel compelled to remain within this
impressive atmosphere, with its underground water
voice adding natural dimensions.

a romantic dinner under the stars at a secluded
beach by flowing a river-bank. To arrive there you
take a single pathway through a small sugar cane
plantation, which opens up to a welcoming white-sandy
beach.

around Blitar city by Becak, a Javanese traditional
method of transportation. We will bring you to
the local shopping area by the roadside or stop
by at the local ice cream parlor, so you can enjoy
some street foods before returning to the hotel.

Surprise
!!!
We invite you to a place
of beauty and emptiness, a secret cove with a white sand beach and clear blue waters hardly
known by anyone else.
To get there we will take you on a journey through pristine
country side, where village farmers can be seen tending
their crops.
First you will cross a small bridge over a small stream
with crystal clear and cool water you can dip your feet
into.
Following a little path fringed with sugar plantations,
you will then find your self in a paradise of a beautiful secluded
beach, and for the day this is all yours, to play, to
fish or to just sit back and relax as you trace the path of the sun
through the sky.
Once the sun has set into the sea and spread its light
across the surface of the ocean, you can see little
flickering oil
lamps appearing from the fishermen who are just about
to start their fishing journey. This is the cue that
we will start
pampering you with a private romantic dinner of simple
but delicious cuisine, coming from the recipes of the
locals
who live near this little paradise. The aroma, rich
with exquisite flavors, will blend with the sweet
smell of the ocean,
while you bask in the after glow of a perfect day.
