Malang News and Photos

These photos were taken on Coban Rondo. Coban Rondo is well known as a protected area in Batu. Protected does not have the sam meaning with restricted. So you will be greeted with smile. To be more precise, Coban Rondo is located at the north west part of Batu, Malang. Here you can find Coban Rondo waterfalls, camping ground, motel, and rose garden.
