It doesn't feel like 2023 has passed. At the end of 2023, it will still rain frequently. This time we went on an afternoon adventure to the Banteran Village area, Sumbang, Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia. Enjoy the moments of the beginning of 2024 at tourist attractions that are still relatively new.
A reservoir, an artificial lake that was originally created to support irrigation channels for rice fields around this area. Embung Banteran is one of the most popular tourist destinations.
With a fairly cheap entrance fee of less than ten thousand rupiah, we can enjoy the various services provided by this place.
Apart from the wide view of the embung, it is equipped with a duck boat with a stage in the middle of the embung. We can see expansive views of rice fields.
There is a main restaurant and various food courts around the embung with a varied food menu.
Apart from that, around the embung there are also many buildings in the form of cottages that can be ordered to stay overnight besides tents for camping enthusiasts. The cottage and restaurant buildings and surrounding buildings use traditional wood architecture which is very characteristic.
Indeed, the location of this reservoir is quite far from the city of Purwokerto, about 10 kilometers from the Purwokerto square. With a travel time of around 20 minutes. If you want to visit this place, here is the map location : https://maps.app.goo.gl/GqeqFkZk8DLgAgxN7
We were in this place besides waiting for the rain to stop while enjoying fried rice, nyemek noodles, mendoan, toast and fried bananas. As for warm orange drinks and coffee, it adds to the exciting atmosphere of this place.
This place also often holds lumping horse performances, and this time we watched a kite festival
Happy New Year 2024
