Tracking To Hidden Paradise Watu Lapis At Mt. Semeru Mountainside, Lumajang (Bilingual)

The best way to escape from the city is to go deep into the forest, climb the mountain, or wherever quiet and peaceful. I always do this to clean up my brains and get ready for the new challenge in the future. This time, I took my four kiddos to go travel to find hidden Paradise with unbelievable water fall in the forest at Lumajang, East Java.

Salah satu cara untuk kabur dari kota adalah pergi ke dalam hutan, mendaki gunung, dan atau ke mana saja yang penting tenang dan damai. Saya selalu melakukannya untuk membersihkan isi kepala dan siap untuk menghadapi tantangan ke depan. Kali ini, saya membawa keempat anak saya berjalan-jalan ke surga tersembunyi dengan air terjun di hutan di Lumajang, Jawa Timur.

I go to Lumajang every few months since I have coffee business over there. I sell Java Arabica and Robusta Premium Organic Coffee to Malaysia and produces Organic Coffee Oil for beauty products and health consumption. There are a lot of organic and natural materials from over there, and still very pure and without polution or chemical at all. The weather is nice as well and there are so many hidden paradise over there.

Saya memang sering pergi ke Lumajang, paling tidak beberapa bulan sekali karena saya memiliki usaha di sana. Saya menjual kopi Java Arabica dan Robusta Premium Organik dan memproduksi Minyak Kopi Organik untuk produk kecantikan dan kesehatan. Ada banyak sekali hasil perkebunan organik dan alami di sana, masih murni tanpa polusi dan kimia sama sekali. Udaranya pun sangat nyaman dan ada banyak surga tersembunyi di sana.

I took my kids to stay at @narasikamantra house at Pasru Jambe, He joins Steemit now and we are just waiting until he got a good signal to post his introduceyourself. He took me to walk around the village and continue tracking to the forest at the mountainside of Mt. Semeru, the tallest mountain in Java Island. I was very excited to find a lot of natural coffee trees everywhere. It was such an amazing things for me, since this is very healthy and good for my business.

Saya membawa anak-anak ke rumah @narasikamantra di Pasru Jambe, dia sekarang sudah bergabung di Steemit dan hanya tinggal menunggu dia dapat signal saja untuk bisa menulis perkenalan. Dia membawa kami berjalan di sekitar pedesaan dan terus tracking ke hutan di kaki gunung Semeru, gunung tertinggi di Pulau Jawa. Saya sangat senang karena menemukan banyak sekali pohon kopi yang tumbuh di mana-mana. Luar biasa bagi saya karena sangat sehat dan bagus untuk usaha saya.

We were walking around 3 kilometers deep to the forest. The views are amazing and there were a lot of birds singing beautifully. We can see a creek on the way to the waterfall, and the water was so clear. It was very hard to find someone elses, we just met a view people who came to the forest to find some foods for their cattles.

Kami berjalan sekitar 3 km ke dalam hutan. Pemandangannya luar biasa dan ada banyak sekali burung berkicau dengan riangnya. Kami dapat melihat sungai kecil sepanjang perjalanan dengan air yang sangat jernih. Sangat sulit menjumpai orang di sepanjang perjalanan, paling hanya beberapa orang saja yang baru pulang mengambil makanan untuk ternak mereka di hutan.

My children was very excited, though this was not the first time they went to the forest, but they wanted to taste the water. After 14 hours driving from Semarang or 24 hours from Bandung, our place, we did need to have a good shower. Clean and fresh water in the forest would be perfect! I was very happy as well and did not want to think that we have to walk back uphill again. Ha!

Anak-anak saya pun kegirangan, meskipun ini bukan pertama kalinya ke hutan, tetapi mereka ingin sekali merasakan air di sana. Setelah 14 jam perjalanan dari Semarang atau 24 jam dari Bandung, tempat kami tinggal, kami butuh sekali air yang segar untuk mandi. Air yang jernih dan segar di hutan sangat sempurna! Saya sangat senang juga dan tidak mau berpikir harus jalan balik nanjak lagi untuk kembali. Hmmm….!!!

As soon as we got there, we went straight to the waterfall. It was so beautiful and the water, I am sure I cant find it in the city. We played in the water, in the middle of the forest, very quiet and really peacefull. My children was so happy and treated that place like their private bathroom, but without soap and shampoo. It was so nice.

Setibanya kami di sana, langsung saja kami turun ke air terjun. Sangat indah sekali dan airnya, saya yakin tidak akan bisa menemukannya di kota. Kami bermain di air, di tengah hutan, sangat sunyi dan benar-benar damai. Anak-anak saya pun bahagia sekali dan memperlakukan tempat itu seperti kamar mandi idaman mereka, tentunya tanpa sabun dan sampo. Sangat menyenangkan.

I hope you all could go over there and experience the journey that is not famous but amazing.

Saya harap ada yang mau ke sana dan merasakan perjalanan ke tempat yang sama sekali tidak terkenal tetapi sangat luar biasa indahnya.
