[REVIEW] TOURISM PLACE : Irenggolo Waterfall

 

Hello again!!! 

    The holidays will be here soon, have you planned anything? Or are you planning to go somewhere but not sure where you want to go? I would love to introduce you one of the used to be a hidden gem in Kediri, it is Irenggolo Waterfall. Usually when it comes to waterfall in Kediri people will immediately think about Dolo Waterfall right? But don't get it wrong, there's still a few amounts of waterfall that you can find in Kediri that as beautiful as Dolo Waterfall, one of them which is the Irenggolo Waterfall. 

    Irenggolo Waterfall Tourism, located in Besuki Hamlet, Jugo Village, Mojo District, Kediri Regency, East Java. 

    Irenggolo waterfall, has a height of 1200 M above sea level, and is located in the Besuki area, precisely on the slopes of Mount Wilis. The flow of water that flows from the cliffs which are 80 meters high forms small steps with extraordinary beautiful natural views and is accompanied by cool air. This waterfall is 28 km southwest of the city of Kediri, only a 30 minute drive and can be traversed easily, because the road that leads to the waterfall is relatively easy and smooth. Close to the Irenggolo waterfall, there is also the Dolo waterfall which is located 4 km from Irenggolo, with a height of 90 meters. 

    The access road to Besuki is considered comfortable and good, the road is paved until it reaches the tourist location. The condition of the road is winding uphill and downhill like mountain roads in general. So my advice is that before you go, it's better for you to prepare your vehicle as best as possible.

 

    From the vehicle parking lot, you have to walk along the available path to get to the waterfall location. The road runs between green and beautiful forest vegetation which is soothing to the eyes and heart. The condition of the route is also quite friendly, more gentle and not as steep and as long as the route to Dolo waterfall. So this tour is very suitable for those of you who are bored and want to find peace without having to bother wasting too much extra energy. So, to just rest your mind, this place is very suitable to visit.

    When you arrive at the waterfall location, you will see the uniqueness of the Irenggolo waterfall. Unlike other waterfalls which rise straight and high, Irenggolo waterfall is shaped like a staircase. This makes the water flow not too fast but flowing gently, splashing and calming. Under the waterfall there is of course a natural pool which is also not too deep. So it is very safe for children to play around the pool. 

    Not only is there easy access and beautiful views, the public facilities here are no less complete. There are many facilities such as a camp area, mosque, bathroom, playground, parking area and food stalls. For friends who are altitude addicts and fog lovers, this place is very suitable for a cheerful camp with your beloved family.

We called it "ngopi spot"

    When I visited, the entrance ticket to the Irenggolo waterfall area was IDR.7000/person excluding parking fees. But some of my colleagues said that sometimes you only need a parking fee to enter the area. So my advice is to keep bringing money because things can change there. But what is certain is that ticket prices remain affordable. 

    In conclusion, with easy road access and no need to suffer too much, and with all the facilities and beauty on offer, Irenggolo waterfall is one of the places I recommend for you to visit. For holidays with friends and family or just alone to relief stress.
