Traveling in Lampung (Sumatra, Indonesia) is not complete if you haven’t visit Way Kambas National Park, its beach like Kalianda Resort, Pulau Pasir and some highland resort like in Pesagi mountain. May be some of thema re very familiar for you, or for some people in Indonesia, but how about Pesagi mountain. This is one of the best mountains in Lampung and most native in Lampung came form here. You can also see the role of this mountain from the folk song.

Pesagi Mountain

Pesagi Mountain is placed in Liwa, which is one of the regions in Lampung and not to far away from the centar city Bandar Lampung. And Pesagi Mountain is the biggest mountain in Liwa. Liwa itself is placed around in the Pesagi Mountain and has 3,300 Ha in broad. Once you come to this city, you can directly find the best scene of this city, which is absolutely this mountain. The green scene, and the beautiful, fresh and natural place you can find here.

That is one alternative that you can visit in Lampung. May be you are tired with the usual holiday trip and you want some extreme experience. I think go to this place can be your alternative. If you want to go to this place, you can go with two alternatives route. The first one, you can walk from Pekon Bahway to Pekon Hujung and it will need around 12 hours. The second choice is you can go through Pekon Hujung, and the time you need is the same with the first alternative. Those alternatives can challenge your adrenaline and make your life better.

Another think you need from Lampung is its handicraft. May be you don’t really know about Tapis. Tapis is one of the most popular, famous, and also prestige fabric that use in Lampung. One or more type of Tapis can be valued over 100 million. Rupiah. Actually there are lots kind and type of Tapis, but some of them like Jung Sarat and many more.

After you get some experience, fabric and handicraft, may be you will need to try some traditional food from Lampung such “sruit” and the famous “Kripik Pisang” and “Pisang Coklat”. For your information most people in Lampung very like “sruit”, this is kind of salad in western country that combine some natural and young leaf from some vegetables. The diffenet is only the salad use dressing and “sruit” use traditional chili recipe.

If you don’t really like it, you can go to Bandar Lampung, the centre of Lampung and find some food also like Bakmi Kodon, Mie Koga and more. Those foods are the most popular in Lampung. “Sruit”, and some food in Bandar Lampung is the only food you can eat on the spot, but if you want to buy and bring it home, you should try “Pisang Coklat” and “Keripik Pisang”. Those two foods are very popular and delicious to try.

Spending your holiday in Lampung, especially in some good place like I have told you before will be very pleasant. You can enjoy your holiday and also bring some delicious food. Lampung is not merely city, but also best place for holiday.

Do you have some plan in your weekend?, well you should prepare it. I am sure you won’t spent your weekend on sitting in your home and your boarding house while all of your friend have some fantastic trip. If you live near Jakarta and you feel bored with the Bogor scene, Bandung and tired of its traffic, the other alternative you can have is Lampung. This is actually good place for you to come. You can enjoy more than enough some beautiful place, beach, and extraordinary place for your family and yourself.

One of the most famous places in Lampung is its beach and the Elephant School. Those things are the best part of Lampung. You can have it all along the Lampung province for the beach of course. Its scene will spoil you, white sands, fresh air and sometimes you can also find the fresh seafood that you can directly buy and eat on the spot.

Way Kambas, I think this is the most popular place in Lampung. Anyone in the world will know that Lampung will be identical with Way Kambas, because I think this is the biggest training place for elephant in Indonesia. But we won’t talk about Way Kambas here. I want you to know another place inside the Way Kambas.

WayKanan River

If you know Way Kambas, I think you will also know about Way Kanan Resort. Way Kanan Resort is also part of Way Kambas. So it won’t be difficult to find. You can come directly to the place after you pass the “Plang Ijo” or the gate to enter this place. During the trip form the gate to the place, sometimes there are few animals across the street and that are very natural. This place is really suitable for you that want to do some “back to nature” activity.

Inside the Way Kanan Resort you can find some place, such Sumatran Rhinos Sanctuary, which is the place for original rhinos form Sumatra, protection and the breeding, because the population of this Rhinos are almost vanished. Another place to go is the Sumatran Tiger Sanctuary. This is really good palace to go, you can get both beautiful scene, natural and supporting the activity. Another things you can do in this resort is like tracking or hiking inside the forest, ride the bat through the river in this place or may be you want just finding some beautiful animals and flora here and accompanied with the attendant.

Way Kanan Resort as I told you before is part of Way Kambas National Park. You can find it after you find Way Kamabs National Park. The place is not that far from Jakarta, may be you just need around 7 to 12 hours and it will totally fun. Inside this Way Kanan Resort you will find another original forest that currently very hard to find, especially in Jakarta. Here, you can find much type of flora and fauna, because there are four type of ecosystem in this Resort.

Finding new place to go and enjoy the new atmosphere is the most interesting thing that we can do in our weekdays. After we have some difficult time in our office, I am sure we need to relax from it and I think this place will help you lots.
