Things to Do  

Tegowangi temple

Tegowangi temple, Kediri

 theo1006 Says:  Like Candi Surowono, Candi Tegowangi is a Hindu temple from the Majapahit kingdom dated at 1400 AD. It seems a curious coincidence, but both temples are in commemoration of a king or prince who died in 1388. For Candi Tegowangi this would be king Bhre Matahun, also known as... 

Kelud Volcano V, the Spa

Kelud Volcano V, the Spa, Kediri

 theo1006 Says:  It takes an effort to see the "Hot River of Kelud Baby" and the "Sulphuric Spa", but they are well worth it. You have to go down a long stairway of 598 steps, not counting the descent into the spa or the short ascent to the hot-water falls. A billboard points to the stairs,... 

Kelud Volcano IV, the Lookout Point

Kelud Volcano IV, the Lookout Point, Kediri

 theo1006 Says:  Just outside the tunnel, before one goes down to the lava dome, there is a flight of 498 stairs climbing up de crater ridge to a lookout point. From there one overlooks the whole crater with the lava dome as well as Blitar plane to the south.To the summit?We saw a path... 

Kelud Volcano III, the Child of Kelud

Kelud Volcano III, the Child of Kelud, Kediri

 theo1006 Says:  What they call Anak Gunung Kelud, litterally the 'Child of Kelud Mountain', is a smoking lava dome which has arisen in the crater when the volcano was active in November 2007. Before that time there used to be a lake on the crater floor, of which only a small pool now... 

Kelud Volcano II, the Tunnel

Kelud Volcano II, the Tunnel, Kediri

 theo1006 Says:  If we may trust the distance posted at the safety gate, then one has to walk 1.7 km from the parking to Anak Gunung Kelud, the lava dome in the crater. Some 120 m (our estimate) of this distance leads through a tunnel in the caldera rim, a shortcut from the outside to the... 

Kelud Volcano I, the Access Road

Kelud Volcano I, the Access Road, Kediri

 theo1006 Says:  At about 30 km of Kediri town, Kelud volcano has long been a favourite destination of domestic tourists. When the volcano had quietened down after its eruption in November 2007, the government of Kediri regency ordered the access road to be upgraded, so that now one can... 

Surowono temple

Surowono temple, Kediri

 theo1006 Says:  Candi Surawana or Surowono was built in 1390 AD and consecrated in 1400 as a memorial to Wijayarajasa, prince of Wengker. The prince was a vassal and uncle by marriage of Rajasanagara (the king of the Hindu empire Majapahit also known as Ayam Wuruk) and wielded much power in...

Off The Beaten Path  

The HVA Toeloengredjo hospital

The HVA Toeloengredjo hospital, Kediri

 theo1006 Says:  It is unusual that a plantation company runs a hospital. But this is the case in Pare, where the Handelsvereeniging Amsterdam established a hospital in 1908, which is now owned and operated by its successor, PT Perkebunan Nusantara X under the name of Rumah Sakit HVA...
