Feels like home ️ In the middle of Jember, it turns out that there is a coffee shop + roastery full of plants like this. The location is a bit of a hidden gem because it's in an alley. The concept is a house whose yard is turned into a cafe and shaded by trees. The atmosphere is pleasant, comfortable and doesn't feel like being in a coffee shop anymore, it feels like hanging out in the countryside. The vibe is like being at home and all the menus are very affordable! Besides that, the menu here is very varied, various and indeed tastes good for the menu ️ @at__maison Jln. Gajahmada Gang 10 No. 18 Jember Starting from IDR 18.000,- Starting from IDR 15.000,- ️ Starting from IDR 15.000,- Starting from IDR 15.000,- Daily 09:00 - 23:00 ️ #cafe

Tancak Waterfall has a height of about 82 meters. This makes it the highest waterfall in Jember. The water is clear, and the water discharge never recedes during the dry season. But the water discharge will be even greater when it rains. Visitors are advised not to visit Tancak Waterfall during the peak of the rainy season. Because the trekking path will become slippery, and the water discharge will increase. In several previous articles, specifically about waterfalls. I once mentioned that the higher a waterfall is, the more likely it is that visitors will find it difficult to be in the main pool, and even tend to be banned. Because the current of water that falls into the main pool will be very strong. Likewise with Tancak Waterfall, the flow of water that falls into the main pool is very heavy, when the rainy season arrives. As long as it's not in the rainy season, then Tancak Waterfall is also suitable as a family tourist destination. The main pool is not too big, and is surrounded by rocks. It is better for visitors not to do activities at the center of the falling water, when the water discharge that falls is very large. But if it's not big, it's very comfortable to play in the main pool, and the pool is not deep. There are still many other points that are safe and comfortable for playing water at the Tancak Waterfall tourist attraction. Oh yes, usually after playing water our stomach becomes hungry. Visitors are expected to bring their own supplies, because at the location of Tancak Waterfall there are no stalls selling food and drinks. The next attraction of Tancak Waterfall is the charm of the natural beauty of the surroundings which are still relatively beautiful. Even the local people always carry out regular planting, be it plants or trees. The events in 2006 have provided a very valuable lesson. That the preservation of nature must be maintained, because nature always has a mystery that is difficult to guess. And actually there are still many positive programs from the surrounding community that are worthy of emulation. #loveflowers #waterfall #naturalwonders #bestislandtraveltowns

Jember Regency in East Java Province has the charm of its natural beauty, especially beach tourism. One of the Jember beaches that has a stunning panorama like heaven is in Payangan. Payangan Beach is located in Payangan Hamlet, Sumberrejo Village, Ambulu District. The distance of this beach from Jember City is about 32 kilometers with a travel time of approximately one hour drive. The fastest route to Payangan Beach from Jember is via Jalan Nasional III Jember-Lumajang. After arriving at the Mangli Market intersection, the journey continues to the south entering Jalan Otto Iskandar Dinata. From the Mangli Market intersection, continue following the main road to the south for about 30 kilometers. Later, you will find a road sign to get to Payangan Beach, so just follow the road indicated by the sign. The Payangan Beach area is so wide. There are three parts of the beach that can be visited. The first part is a fishing beach area facing southwest. The next part is a beach with rocks separated by a hill. The widest part is on the north side of the beach with rocks separated again by a small hill. This beach extends to the north then turns to the west. If you walk along it, you will eventually arrive at Watu Ulo Beach. This beach has black sand. However, this does not reduce the beautiful panorama of Payangan Beach. The combination of black sand with blue sea and sky looks so harmonious. The color combination is more harmonious with the green hill grass on the beach and white clouds floating in the sky. Not to forget, the white foam of the waves increasingly adorns the view to the end of the curved beach against the background of the hills. #beaches #beautifulsunsets #bestislandtraveltowns #naturalwonders#nationalpark

The choice of the name SJ88 itself turned out to be quite unique. The name is taken from the abbreviation for the location of the hill itself, namely S (Sucopangepok) J (Jelbuk) and 88 is a number indicating the height of 880 MDPL (meters above sea level). This tourist attraction presents the natural beauty of the hills and views of the city of Jember from a height. From above SJ88 visitors can see the city of Jember from a height with a cool breeze typical of highland weather. To enjoy it, the manager also provides several photo spots in the form of tree houses, colorful umbrellas as well as stairs to the sensation of taking pictures on a large rock that towers over the hill. If you are hungry, visitors can also enjoy the simple culinary provided by the manager. Visitors can also enjoy their own food brought from home in the camping area. If you are lucky, the culinary offerings can be enjoyed at the same time by looking at the fog that hangs in front of your eyes. It's like being on a cloud. Especially if you can see the sunrise or sunset which is so beautiful. TO go to SJ88 hill tour, visitors only need to travel for 30 minutes. From downtown Jember, by going through Jalan PB Sudirman, choose the road towards Bondowoso. Asphalt road access certainly makes it easier for visitors to travel using 2 wheels or 4 wheels. Arriving at the first post, we can park the vehicle at the houses of local residents. By paying only Rp. 5000, - the visitor's vehicle is guaranteed to be safe. To enjoy the beauty of the SJ88 hill, make sure you are in the best physical condition. Because after parking the vehicle, to go to the top of the hill we have to climb about 30 minutes. The hiking trail is quite interesting. Besides being treated to a sloping track, visitors will also take a steep road. Right and left of the road, views of rice fields, hills, and the splashing of river water alternately spoil the eye. Of course this is a bonus for those of you who like to climb mountains. But for visitors who are too tired to climb, the manager also provides motorcycle taxis. Only by paying Rp. 10,000, - visitors will be escorted by the manager on a special mountain motorbike to the top of the hill without having to bother. To enter the main area of ​​​​SJ88 hill, we only need to pay a ticket of IDR 5,000. Then visitors can freely enjoy the natural beauty on SJ88 hill. This tourist attraction which began to be crowded in early 2016 is managed professionally by local residents accompanied by Perhutani Jember Regency, because the location of the hill belongs to Perhutani Jember. Unfortunately, when Tadatodays went there, the manager could not be found. We only had time to talk with local residents. #hiking #camping #beautifulsunsets #bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders

East Java, Jember to be precise, has a beach which is the most favorite tourist spot in Jember for tourists who come to the tobacco city. Papuma Beach is the name, which is an acronym for Malikan White Sand Beach or it can also be called Tanjung Papuma. This beach is behind a hill, so it can be ascertained that it has an extraordinary natural beauty. The beauty it has is even juxtaposed with Raja Ampat, Papua. Because along the coast there are rocks of various sizes. Papuma beach is quite wide, the area is even divided into two parts. The first area is lined with many fishing boats that are docked. While the second area is not visible boats leaning. The first thing you can do is relax and enjoy the natural panorama that stretches out. If the weather is favorable, the blue sky combines with the blue sea and the soft white sand. You can play in the water around the beach and don't miss playing with the sand too, the children will definitely like it. The beach location in the west is much quieter, but the white sand combines with rocks scattered with various sizes. The waves around Papuma Beach are quite heavy, especially if it's the rainy season. Enjoying the natural beauty of Papuma Beach can also be enjoyed from a height, namely by visiting the top of the hill named Siti Hinggil Papuma. There is a simple gazebo or hut for you to relax and enjoy nature. You will see some rocks in the middle of the ocean. It is said that these rocks can change position as the wind blows and the waves crash. That's what underlies the naming of this beach, where Malikan means "turn around". For you true nature lovers, Papuma Beach provides a place to set up a tent and spend the night accompanied by waves throughout the night. The experience of camping on a stretch of sand is fun in itself, moreover, your camping activities are accompanied by a variety of exciting activities. #bestislandtraveltowns #beaches #camping #beautifulsunsets#naturalwonders

Local residents call Teluk Love as a beach around Payangan Beach, Sumbererejo Village, Ambulu District, Jember Regency. Unfortunately, the location cannot be reached directly. Visitors have to go down the estuary first. Then there is Love Bay Hill. The Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) of the Marine Sustainable Tourism Awareness Community (Massyawil) which coined the names Teluk Love and Bukit Teluk Love. These two places are interconnected. If you want to see the Gulf of Love, visitors must climb the Bukit Teluk Love. Similar to Teluk Love, Bukit Teluk Love is not something new for local residents. There are residents who call the Bukit Teluk Love by the name of Bukit Suroyo, sometimes also Bukit Domba, is one of the clusters of hills scattered on the edge of the South Java Sea. When you are on Love Bay Hill, visitors can enjoy the view of Love Bay below. The view is the result of the meeting of the coastline with coral dots that seem to form the image of a heart. To get to Bukit Teluk Love is relatively easy. Visitors simply look for directions to Papuma or Watu Ulo tourist attractions. These two adjacent tourist attractions are legendary tourist attractions in Jember Regency. Next to Papuma Beach, there is Watu Ulo Beach which is known for its stone-like shape like a snake. Still in the Watu Ulo Beach cluster, there is Payangan Beach. In the south of Payangan Beach, Bukit Teluk Love and Teluk Love are located. The place is in Sumberejo Village, Ambulu District, Jember Regency. It is about 30 kilometers from the center of Jember City. Visitors can go to this tourist spot using a private vehicle. For tourists who use public transportation, they can access it using the Damri Bus from Tawangalun Terminal. Even the Damri Bus last stop is only about 250 meters from Bukit Teluk Love. There are two Damri Bus departures from Tawangalun Terminal, namely at 06.30 WIB and 11.30 WIB while the bus departs from the stop at Payangan Beach to Tawangalun Terminal at 10.00 WIB and 13.00 WIB. #hiking #camping #beautifulsunsets #naturalwonders #naturalwonders#beautifulsunsets#camping#hiking

Glovic cabang yang baru ini tempatnya meskipun kecil tapi tetep cozy..desainnya juga tetap cantik dan instagramable. Seperti konsep awalnya yang merupakan bakery shop, kue cake juga tersedia di sini. Banyak disediakan stopkontak sehingga sangat memungkinkan untuk yang mau mengerjakan tugas kantor ataupun kuliah, selain akses wifi yang gratis juga tentunya. Es krim tidak banyak pilihan seperti di glovic pusat, semoga kedepan pilihan es krim nya seperti di glovic pusat ya. #romanticrestaurant#familytravel#historicculture#café#exhibition2021

A very cozy cafe in Jl.Trunojoyo, to be exact, in Golden Market. They have indoor and outdoor seats. There are a lot of delicious foods and drinks. For you who like steak, you can choose how rare or how well the grill. I like both chicken and beef steak there. And there are some drinks that interest me. They are ketan hitam latte, klepon latte, and charcoal latte. They are very unique for me. They also serve beer and some other alcoholic drinks which are only for adult, and of course only to drink responsibly as well. Seriously, this cafe is a perfect place to chill. #café#familytravel#romanticrestaurant#summertrip

There are beaches that impress you with their beauty, and then there are places like Papuma Beach, where nature, local tradition, and centuries-old legends come together. Arriving early in the morning, the first thing that caught my attention wasn't the beach itself—it was the hundreds of colorful fishing boats gently floating on the calm turquoise water. Behind them, towering rock formations rose dramatically from the Indian Ocean, creating one of the most breathtaking coastal landscapes in Indonesia. As the waves rolled onto the soft white sand, it was easy to understand why this hidden gem has become one of East Java's most photogenic destinations. But Papuma is more than just beautiful scenery. Before walking down to the beach, locals shared an interesting tradition with me. Visitors are often advised not to wear green clothing when visiting the southern coast of Java. The belief is connected to Nyi Roro Kidul, the legendary Queen of the Southern Sea in Javanese folklore. According to local tradition, green is her sacred color, and wearing it near the ocean is believed to bring bad luck or even invite the sea to "claim" those who disrespect her domain. Whether you see it as mythology, cultural heritage, or simply a local custom, many visitors choose to respect the tradition. It serves as a reminder that every destination has stories that are just as meaningful as the landscapes themselves. The legend has been passed down through generations and remains an important part of the cultural identity along Java's southern coastline. As I walked along the shoreline, watching fishermen prepare their boats while the sound of waves echoed against the giant sea rocks, I realized Papuma offers something that many beaches cannot—a connection between nature and local culture. Every cliff, every wave, and every fishing boat seems to tell a story that has existed long before tourism arrived. Papuma Beach isn't just a place to admire stunning ocean views; it's a destination where Indonesia's natural beauty and rich traditions meet. Whether you're chasing sunrise, photographing the dramatic coastline, or simply listening to local legends, you'll leave with memories that go far beyond the view. Travel Tip: If you visit Papuma Beach, remember to respect local customs—including the tradition of avoiding green clothing. Whether or not you believe the legend of Nyi Roro Kidul, showing respect for local beliefs is always part of being a thoughtful traveler. #localrules

🍔 Looking for a great place to chill, eat, and grab a drink in Jember, Indonesia? I highly recommend “De terrace cafe & restro”. 📌 Located inside the Golden Market, a supermarket right in the heart of the city. It's less than a 10-minute walk from the town square (just follow Google Maps). ⏰ Open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Special weekend hours: open until 11:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. 🅿️ Ample parking is available under the building's extended balcony, as it shares a large parking lot with the Golden Market. 📍 A quick heads-up: Indonesia is a predominantly Muslim country, and practicing Muslims abstain from alcohol. So, finding a place that serves booze isn't a walk in the park—you won't even find it in big malls or convenience stores. My quest involved some Google searching and a bit of walking to find the perfect spot for this trip. 🍽️ The cafe features modern decor with warm, orange-toned lighting that creates a super relaxing vibe after a long day. Most of the seating consists of plush sofas, making it easy to lounge for hours without getting uncomfortable, though there are also high chairs at the bar. You can choose between two zones: the air-conditioned, non-smoking indoor area or the open-air outdoor patio where smoking is allowed. As a bonus, if you visit on a Saturday like I luckily did, they have a live band playing in the outdoor zone, and they stay open later until around 11:00 PM. ♥️ I ordered a bunch of appetizers, including crispy fried spinach (so good!), fried gyoza, fried stuffed chicken tofu, and chicken satay (a local favorite). For cold drinks, the beer is served in chilled, frosted mugs. For a non-alcoholic option, the apple lemonade with basil seeds, mint, and thinly sliced papaya is incredibly refreshing. The food is quite affordable; the beer is on the pricier side, but that's expected since it's hard to come by.

#ReviewForIncomeGeneration #ReviewOfGoodAtmosphereAccommodation #ReviewOfIndonesianFood #JemberIndonesia #hangoutplace 🇲🇨 My first trip to Jember, Indonesia for work. I traveled by plane, passing through immigration at Juanda Airport in Surabaya, after 4 hours. Then, a 5-hour bus ride from the airport to Jember. 🇲🇨 The cover photo shows the nighttime arrival at Jember University. The second photo is of the university's guesthouse. The third and fourth photos are of a cheap hotel about 1 km from the university called RedDoorz, costing around 500 baht per night. The fifth photo shows actual street food and drink stalls. Some sections of the sidewalk were used as seating areas for eaters, forcing us to walk on the road, a gamble with the traffic. It's important to understand that this country has a large population and many cars and motorcycles on the roads, so extra caution is needed. 🇲🇨 The sixth photo shows me eating at a stall that wasn't on the sidewalk. I ordered Soto Ayam, Indonesian-style rice with chicken and soup. It was delicious and not too spicy. Even though I ordered it spicy, it cost 15,000 Rupiah. Picture seven shows the abundance of street vendors selling fruit, a famous local specialty. I ordered Melon and Dragon Fruit Juice for 12,000 Rupiah. Picture eight shows the central park of Jember, marked by a large statue of an eagle. Picture nine shows another iconic landmark of the park. Picture ten shows the large open area of ​​the park; in the evening, Jember residents bring their children to stroll and play. 🇲🇨 Pictures eleven, twelve, and thirteen show a bar called Last Minute Pool and Bistro, serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. I ordered kombucha, my friend ordered beer – a nice late-night hangout. The shops close around 10 pm, so there are fewer Grab taxis available.

Papuma Beach, also known as Pantai Papuma, is a stunning coastal destination located in Jember Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Its name, Papuma, stands for Pasir Putih Malikan, which translates to "white sand and Malikan rock," highlighting the beach's pristine white sands and iconic rock formations. Papuma Beach is famous for its turquoise waters, soft white sand, and lush green surroundings. The area offers picturesque views, making it a favorite spot for photography. Unique Rock Formations: The beach is dotted with large, dramatic rocks, including the towering Karang Kodok, which resembles a frog, and Karang Gajah, which looks like an elephant. These formations add to the beach's charm and are often associated with local myths and Legeds #papumaBeach Title:papuma beach Location:jember indonesia

The view of the Mount Gambir Jember Tea Garden is very enchanting. The expanse of green tea plantations is so refreshing to the view. The number of hills that surround this area, thus adding to the beautiful scenery. Not to mention that the air temperature there is very, very cool, so it is appropriate if it is used as a refreshing place.
