Malang Trips & Tours

A quaint heritage town in one of the most scenically-lovely (and cool!) regions of Java.

Pretty, green and with a very attractive climate, the town of Malang was established in the late 18th century by coffee-growing Dutch plantation owners as a place to retire to when the steamy lowland temperatures became too much. Surrounded by volcanoes, it’s one of the most beautifully situated cities in Java and the remnants of the elegant Dutch architecture and colonial villas only add to the charming atmosphere. Wander the streets of the old Dutch Quarter and look out for the cathedral, school, and hotel (and the Chinese temple!), or cycle to the traditional bird and flower markets. Outside the town, enjoy the countryside with visits to tea plantations, apple- and flower-picking in the town of Batu on the slopes of Mount Welirang and Mount Arjuna, or discovering hidden temples from ancient kingdoms. Malang is also a base climbs up Mount Bromo, famous for its stunning sun rises and beautiful surroundings.
