Outside Malang - East Java
Indonesia
Jl. Begawan, Dusun Krajan, Taji, Jabung, Malang, Jawa Timur 65155, Indonesia
Coban : water falls
Jahe : Ginger roots
The obvious question immediately : is there any ginger farm nearby ?
The name actually derived from Javanese word "pejahe" = place where they died
(pronounce : pe-DJA-Hey)
In 1948, during Dutch occupations in Indonesia, there were 38 Indonesian revolutionary fighters were shot from hill-top and they all die in this location. Until this day they have memorial tomb for these local heroes nearby of this waterfalls.
People came and visited and asking for direction and for those people that do not speak Javanese very well the pronunciation for 'peJAHE' with soft first syllable as in English world 'peculiar' you will only hear the strong intonation in the last two syllables "DJA-Hey"
As the result the name has been misconstrued as COBAN JAHE, which has nothing to do with ginger roots or ginger plants at all.
Sunday, April 27, 2014, I began to hunt guerrilla landscape photo. Always set off in the early morning around 5:00 am, because I love the atmosphere cool and not a lot of air pollution on the highway which is usually always packed with the volume of vehicles on the road so add crowdid atmosphere, and the craze of CO2 pollution.
This photo is Rainbow Falls or the local designation is Coban Pelangi. Why is he often called Rainbow rainbow appeared above the cliff tops, meaning Waterfall Coban. According to government information is the Rainbow Falls entrance region under the protection of nature conservation forestry Malang, East Java, Indonesia.
The waterfall region of mountains and the road to get there is very beautiful and clean although many across the winding streets and steep, with a slope of approximately 45 degrees.
I really liked the location of this waterfall because the place is in a very clean and comfortable through and the number of places to dispose of waste that has been provided, at any distance less than 50 meters there is always a small shop clean and well maintained. I was amazed at the cleanliness of this resort because I know most of the tourist attractions in East Java looks dirty full of garbage with no one to clean it ...... very embarrassing.
Each of my hunting at the beach or forest always looks disappointing garbage scattered everywhere to make me sad and disappointed at the behavior of this nation.
Rainbow Falls is flowing from a cliff with a height of approximately 94 meters. The road that I have taken to achieve this much past the waterfall stairs to order materials from bamboo rod looks very natural, neat and beautiful.
When I came there was not lucky because the rainbow does not appear, said local people do not frequent the appearance of a rainbow. The information I get from the website Malang East Java, the emergence of a refracted rainbow cliff tops, which became the origin of the Coban planting.
Contentment is tired reciprocated by the beauty of this place and I like not many visitors so I could rest for a moment to enjoy it.
Hopefully sights Coban Pelangi is always beautiful and clean until whenever. My hope for the tourist attractions in East Java, such as the beach or the woods should always keep clean and take care of what we have as a child when we would the next of generation mimic what people used to do. And be an example to other countries! "
