I found Bwalk Hotel Malang, which starts at under Rp 100,000 per night. For that price, the facilities are quite complete. There's a swimming pool for relaxing, rooms with bathtubs, and clean, comfortable rooms for resting. The parking area is also spacious, making it convenient if you bring your own vehicle. I think this hotel is perfect for a budget staycation, a family vacation, or just a stopover while sightseeing in Malang. #Malang #HotelMalang #BwalkHotelMalang #ExploreMalang #MalangTourism

Full Hiking Challenge to the Peak of the Three Gorges ⛰️ (with Super Detailed Guide) Finally completed the long-awaited hike to the peak of the Three Gorges 11.36 kilometers! 26,000 steps! 1280 meters of elevation gain! Although it’s been three days since I got back and I still haven’t recovered... it was truly worth it!! 🚶【Hiking Route】 Start from Baidi City Wind and Rain Corridor Bridge → take the ferry to the opposite shore → hike all the way to the summit The whole trip, including stops for photos, took about 5-6 hours I recommend starting early and allowing plenty of time~ 🧥【Outfit Suggestions】 ▪️ Quick-dry shirt + windbreaker are a must! The wind at the summit is strong and the temperature difference is obvious ▪️ Hiking shoes/sneakers must be comfortable and non-slip ▪️ For photos, wear bright colors! Bright colors! Bright colors! I wore light-colored clothes and the photos didn’t turn out well 😭 🍫【Supply Tips】 No need to carry too much water! There are 11 supply points along the way Just bring some snacks to replenish energy in time We sent our luggage home by courier before the hike—going light is the smartest choice 📸【Recommended Check-in Spots】 ▫️ 66 Switchbacks: The continuous climb starts here, a test of both physical strength and willpower 🔥 ▫️ Despair Slope: The last 1 km is a straight uphill; everyone was so quiet you could only hear heavy breathing... but persistence is victory! 🚡【Descent Options】 After reaching the summit, you can choose: Sightseeing bus or cable car down 💡【Final Thoughts】 This time I really overestimated myself... At 11 PM I was searching the streets for a massage, and even after three days my legs are still wrecked... going downstairs is pure torture 😭 But! Life is only about 30,000 days, so make the most of every peak day ⛰️ Hiking down, I suddenly felt that life is like climbing a mountain Ups and downs, no need to compare Walk at your own pace, and you will eventually reach the destination ✨

My first stay at Hotel Tidar Malang, and the vibe was surprisingly cool! The room was clean, the view was great, and the service was friendly. I was very satisfied! Highly recommended! ⛰️🏨 #HotelTidarMalang #StaycationMalang

Afternoon coffee at a cool hangout place called @labuhruang in the Mulyoagung area, Malang. The design is unique, there is only one mass of box-shaped building for the coffee bar and kitchen, surrounded by a fairly large open space seating area. The atmosphere is cool, calm, very comfortable for hanging out in the afternoon while waiting for the beautiful sunset view. .

Climbing a mountain is not a trivial matter. But it takes knowledge and mentality in every step to reach the top. A lot of mountain climbing just for style but forgetting their safety. That's a pity. The peak is not everything but salvation until returning home is your true goal.#mountain #indonesiatrip #Gunungbuthak
