  • 5Private Tumpak Sewu Waterfall tour

    It was a great experience to book the trip through IDN. The IDN team was super responsive and also organized a private trip for us (a family of 4 with two kids) to Tumpak Sewu Waterfall & Goa Tetes Cave and a driver to Bali. The guide was excellent, took very good care of the kids and even created a very nice video of our trip that she shared with us without and additional cost.

About Malang

Malang, in the highlands of East Java, is a cool hill city of Dutch-era streets, colourful hillside villages and volcanoes close by.

Malang lies about 450 metres up on a plateau in East Java, cooler than the coast, ringed by mountains including Mount Arjuno and the Tengger massif. The Dutch developed it as a garden city, and the centre keeps tree-lined avenues and old colonial buildings around the Tugu monument and the Alun-Alun Merdeka square. Two painted kampungs, Jodipan and Tridi, climb a hillside along the river.

Top-ranked sights in Malang: Mt. Semeru.
