Baluran national park


at the beginning of this holiday, was my first visiting baluran national park. I thought this park has a lot of animals, it does but i just didnt see them probably. 
this national park located about 6 hrs from Surabaya, u re gonna pass the beach along the way here, and jawa power also (mostly people call it as paiton).

we arrived in the afternoon around 4pm, and hired a house for 40$ 4 persons. the house located directly in front of the beach inside this national park, what a house :)

the house
there was no electricity after 11pm because they use a diesel machine, but if u really scared of the dark, they can turn the diesel machine on, but of course there will be additional charge for that.
well at least buying drink and get smashed better than paying the additional charge for the electricity.
I would ve made a fire and brought guitar to make that night perfect by the way otherwise the car would not got enough space if i brought guitar.

Snorkeling for 6$ is a great price we could get here, started in the morning.
that is the boat for snorkeling
this tree was in front of our house exactly




We got to this beach for 1 hour from Baluran national entrance gate, the road was really rocky and never try to get here by your porsche :p

yeah you re right, this park almost look the same with africa, unfortunately we just saw deers and some buffalo.

It s a good trip after visiting ijen crater and 2 hours to get to this national park from there. and i strongly suggest you not to drive to ijen crater with double axle car. :)
