Until now, the temple complex is used by local residents who are Hindus as a place of worship and popular as a sanctuary for those in the original religion of Java / Javanese beliefs.

Arrangement of buildings

When he found the situation of this temple is the stone ruins on the plain fourteen-story, stretching from the west (the lowest) to the east, though currently living in 13 terrace, and the restoration carried out on the porch just nine. Structure terraces will make the emergence of allegations of cultural revival of the original ( “punden berundak”) at the time, which is synthesized by the Hindu religion. This suspicion is strengthened by the relief of the body such as the wayang kulit, similar to the description in the temple Sukuh.

The restoration is done by Humardani, Suharto’s personal assistant, in the late 1970s changed many of the original structure of the temple, although the concept berundak punden retained. This restoration was much criticized by archaeologists, given that the restoration of archaeological sites can not be done without in-depth study. The new building is the restoration of the magnificent gate in front, the buildings of the hermitage wood, statues Sabdapalon, Nayagenggong, Brawijaya V, and the phallus, and building on the top of the cube punden.

Furthermore, Regent Karanganyar, Rina Iriani, with reason to embellish the passion diversity around the temple, put the statue Goddess Saraswati, the contribution of the Gianyar Regency, in the eastern part of the temple complex.

In the current situation, Cetho temple consists of nine levels to the railroad. Before the great gate of the temple-shaped moment, visitors find two pairs of statues guard. The first level after the gate into the temple yard. The second level is still a page and here are petilasan Ki Ageng Krincingwesi, Cetho ancestral village community.

At the third level there is a flat stone carvings on the ground depicting a giant tortoise, solar majapahit (allegedly as a symbol of Majapahit), and the symbol of phallus (penis, genitals male) 2 meters long with piercing jewelry (piercing) of type ampallang. The tortoise is a symbol of the creation of the universe while the penis is a symbol of human creation. There are representations of other animals, such as Mimi, frogs, and crabs. Animal symbols available, can be read as suryasengkala dated Saka 1373, or 1451 the modern era.

At the next level can be found at the stone rows of two adjacent terrain containing reliefs Sudhamala story excerpts, as there are in the Temple Sukuh. This story is still popular among the Java community as a basis Ruwatan ceremony. The next level includes two buildings flanking pendapa entrance of the temple. Until now, pendapa pendapa used as a place of religious ceremonies. At the seventh level of the two statues can be found on the north and south. On the north side is a statue Sabdapalon, and in the south Nayagenggong, two half-mythical figures (many who think they are actually one person) is believed to be the servants and spiritual advisor to King Brawijaya V.

At the eighth level there is a statue phallus (called “kuntobimo”) on the north side and the statue of the King Brawijaya V in the form of Mahadeva. The cult of the phallus statues, symbolizing gratitude, and hope for fertility of the earth’s abundant local. Last level (ninth) is the highest level as a place of prayer climbing. Here there is a cube-shaped stone building.

At the top of the building Cetho Temple, there is a building used in the past, as the place cleaned up before carrying out the ritual worship ceremony (patirtan). Near the temple, with a steep slope, was found again a temple complex by the surrounding community called Temple Kethek ( “Monkey Temple”).

Its approximately 1000 islands support a population of less than 1.7 million people. The average population density figure is 19 people per-square kilometer, but the distribution is uneven. Air and sea transportation are the main means which link the islands together. The province has 32 seaports and 20 airports, and only about 160 km of roads. However, good roads on many of the islands provide easy access to the often remote places of tourists interest.

A great variety of endemic plant and animal species are found in the rugged forest-covered and mountainous hinterlands of most of the islands. A few of the best known are the Racker-tailed king fisher, the red-crested Moluccan cockatoo, and various brilliantly-colored lorikeets and parrots.

Most of Maluku sits astride one of the world’s most volatile

volcanic belts. The region has known more than 70 eruptions in the last 400 years. Tremors and volcanic eruptions are by no means rare events at present. Many islands, in fact, look from a distance like volcanic cones rising right out of the sea.

Formerly known as the Moluccas, these islands are the original Spice Islands which in the 16th and 17th centuries lured the major seafaring nations of Europe to come to trade and to establish their power and influence in this part of the East.

Chinese annals of the Tang dynasty from around the middle of the 7th century A.D make mention of a land named Mi-li-ku. The 14th century Javanese manuscript Nagarakertagama mentions the name Maloko, meaning the island of Ternate, part of this province, which in the 17th century was known to the Portuguese as Moluquo.

It was Nicoli de Conti, however, who in 1440 revealed the existence of the Spice Islands to the Europeans. Using his information, Fra Maura drew his world map, and soon the race to the East began. In 1511, the Portuguese built their first fort in the area on the island of Ternate and established their monopoly of the clove trade.

The Spanish also came, but posed little trouble to the Portuguese. The Dutch, who arrived in 1599, on the other hand, proved to be their toughest contestants in the quest for Maluku’s treasures. Armed conflicts broke out, taking a toll not only among the two rival European powers, but also among the local populations. To make it short, the Dutch finally emerged as winners and established their trade monopoly with iron hand. Whole villages were razed to the ground and thousands of islanders died in the so called Hongi expeditions launched by the Dutch to maintain their trade monopoly, especially on the island of Banda.

The British occupied Maluku for a brief period during the Napoleonic war between England and France. Dutch rule was restored in 1814, leading to e new rebellion under Matulessi which the Dutch suppressed with difficulty. The compulsory cultivation of spices was abolished in Maluku only in 1863.

Traces of that turbulent period in Maluku’s history can still be found on a number of islands. However, Maluku’s great attraction for present-day visitors is its sea gardens and beaches and the beauty of the land. Music and dances and hybrid culture in general, are among the province’s strong touristic drawing cards. Fish and other sea products are nowadays Maluku’s major sources of revenue, but nickel, oil, manganese and various timber also contribute to the province’s wealth.

PLACES OF INTEREST

Ambon

Ambon, the provincial capital of Maluku which is built on a hillside overlooking the bay, has a number of interesting sites of historical and cultural interests. Among them are the remnants of some old forts built by the Dutch East Indies Company during the heydays of the spice trade and the Museum Siwa Lima with its collection of local arts and crafts.

More ruins of forts are found such as the Dutch one at Lima and those of the Portuguese at Hila, which are almost entirely hidden underneath the contorted roots of a giant Banyan tree.

The ANZAC War Cemetery near Ambon town is the site of services held every year to commemorate the Allied soldiers who died in the region during world War 11. Ambon is at the Maluku end of the annual yacht race between Darwin, Australia and Ambon. The race usually takes place in August.

Coral Sea Gardens

Good beaches with coral reefs just off the shore are found around Pombo island and at Hunimoa Beach on Ambon. A popular recreation beach on the same island is Natsepa.

Halmahera

Ternate, an island off the west coast of Halmahera in northern Maluku, was once the seat of an important kingdom which prospered from the spice trade. The Portuguese, the Spanish and the Dutch vied with each other for influence on this island. A stronghold of Islam in the otherwise predominantly Christian province of Maluku, Ternate nevertheless carries the clear imprints of both its pre-Islamic past and its period of contact with the West, especially the Portuguese.

The old sultan’s palace in Ternate town is now a museum. In the vicinity are the ruins of old Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch forts. The remnants of the Dutch Fort Orange are right in town.

About five kilometers west of the town, on the slope of a 1,715 meter tall volcano in the middle of the island, is Afo, with its giant clove tree, said to be more than 350 years old.

Morotai Island, just off Halmahera’s northern arm, was an important air-base during world War II, first for the Allies and later for the Japanese until its recapture near the end of the war. The ghosts of war still linger in this area, where many wrecks of aircraft and rusting guns lie abandoned in the bushes.

Banda

The Banda group, about 160 kilometers southeast of Ambon, consists of three larger islands and seven smaller ones, perched on the rim of Indonesia’s deepest sea, the Banda Sea. Near the island Manuk, the water reaches a depth of more than 6,500 meters. Of the three biggest islands Banda, Banda-Neira and Gunung Api, the first two are covered with nutmeg trees and other vegetation. The third however, is entirely bare and highly volcanic. The last eruption of Mt. Api occurred only a few years ago. The seas around Banda are the site of the famous Maluku sea gardens with their bright corals and colorful fish darting through the crystal-clear waters. Facilities for sightseeing, snorkeling and skin diving are available, as well as clean, comfortable cottages.

Banda saw some of the bloodiest episodes of Maluku’s past history during the 17th century. In 1609, the Dutch East Indies

Company (VOC) dispatched Verhoeff to the islands to obtain the contested spice trade monopoly at any cost. Confronted by a superior power, the people of Banda were forced to allow the company to establish a fort, but in that same year Verhoeff was killed together with 45 of his men. The Company retaliated, but peace was not restored. In 1619, V.O.C. Governor-General Jan Pieterszoon Coen arrived at the head of a penal expedition and exterminated the entire population of Banda. The land was divided into lots, called “perken?, and given to former company employees, the “perkiniers”, who were obliged to grow nutmeg and sell them at predetermined prices to the company. Slaves did the actual work in the fields. The old “perkenier houses”, or what is left of them, and old churches still retain a peculiar colonial character to the port town of Bandaneira today. Two old forts Belgica and Nassau, are inside the town limits. Others are found elsewhere on the islands. See also the former Dutch Governor’s mansion, the Museum of History in Neira, and the huge nutmeg plantation nearby.

enjoy the diversity

The Raja Ampat, or “Four Kings,” archipelago encompasses more than 9.8 million acres of land and sea off the northwestern tip of Indonesia’s West Papua Province. Located in the Coral Triangle, the heart of the world’s coral reef biodiversity, the seas around Raja Ampat possibly hold the richest variety of species in the world.

The area’s massive coral colonies show that its reefs are resistant to threats like coral bleaching and disease —threats that now jeopardize the survival of corals around the world. In addition, Raja Ampat’s strong ocean currents sweep coral larvae across the Indian and Pacific Oceans to replenish other reef ecosystems. Raja Ampat’s coral diversity, resilience to threats, and ability to replenish reefs make it a global priority for marine protection.

Many international underwater photographers captured the attraction of sea Raja Ampat. Moreover there are those that came repeatedly and made the book special about beauty of the coral reef and this biota of region sea. Last mid 2006, the special team from the foremost scientific adventure magazine the world, National Geographic, made coverage in Raja Ampat that will become the main report in 2007.

The trip to Raja Ampat was expensive enough . From Jakarta you would transit in Menado, afterwards it was continued to Sorong, will take up time around 6 hours. From Sorong the trip was continued by leasing the ship boat or yacht. In Raja Ampat you could choose sleep above yacht or at the resort, both are expensive enough.

This time were going to do Travel Adventure by enjoying most beautifull Cave in South east Asia. Goa Gong (Goa = cave, Indonesian Language) was in the lime hills that were located in the Bomo Village, District PUNUNG, around 30 Kilometer from Pacitan City. The road to Goa Goang Pacitan has been very good so as could reach by any vehicle.

Inside the cave, weve been offering cave by some amazing views. This is so beautifull, we can see stalactites and stalakmit lime stone naturally formed around the cave wall.

amazing cave views

You do need to worry, inside the cave was available the tracing route that was made so that the safe and comfortable visitor. You can hire guide from local village to get more information about the cave history.

Gong Cave has stalagtite and stalagmite that is said become the beautiful one in South-east Asian. It has about 256 m depth, beside that it also has 5 polls; Rogo Pool, Pool Panguripan, Jiwo Pool, Pool Kamulyan, and Ralung Nisto Pool, which have magical value to heal disease. The beauty of stalagmite and stalagtite is Hardly make surprise immortalized by Selo Cengger named Earth, Cello Giri, Citro Cipto Great Selo, Bomo Pakuan Cello, Cello Adi buwono Citro, Cello Cello banks spur wind and wind.

On certain days every Friday, there is a sound of traditional music called “Jaranan” gong (traditional gong) is the hardest instrument which sound than others. Up to now, sometimes its sound still can be heard, that is why this cave is about 256 meters underground, has 12 rooms, 7 natural springs and one bath.

This cave is located about 30 km west of Pacitan precisely in Bomo village, PUNUNG district and it is easily reach with all types of vehicles about 45 minutes. This area also available some facilities, such as; souvenir shops, restaurants, parking area, Mosque, etc.

The origins of Goa Gong:

“Once upon a time, the Village Pule had a long drought, making it difficult to find drinking water and water for many daily needs. So Mbahoyo Semito, and MbahJoyo trying to find water into the cave which he considered too far from the house a population of about 400 meters. By using the traditional lighting of the torch (dried coconut leaves tied together) to spend seven belt, both grandfathers are managed through the halls of the cave to find some and is being showered in it. Event counting 65 years ago, counting backwards from the year 1995.
On these findings, a subsequent search was performed, exactly on Sunday Pon dated March 5, 1995, set off a group of eight people to explore more about the existence of the cave. Long story short the group finally managed to down a cave whose beauty can be felt until now “.

Gong cave own naming is closely related to one of the Javanese gamelan device name. It is said that at certain moments, in which there is a mountain cave is often heard the sounds like a Javanese gamelan, the show reog, flying an even often heard people crying pitifully. Therefore, people around the cave called the Cave Gong.

Therefore, before entering the cave must be considered in order cave, among others: to speak politely, mutual respect, walking through a prescribed path, each party must be accompanied by a guide. Likewise for commercial filming is not allowed except for filming the documentary, they even had to make the licensing process in advance.

The first room, the Sendang Bidadari space. In this room there is being a little cold water and clean. Beside it is the Angels, where according to a story in the room sometimes passing shadow of a beautiful woman.

Space of three and four is the crystal and marble, which is stored in the room rock crystal and marble on the sides above and beside the cave with a near-perfect quality. Entering the space of five, is a little roomy room. In this place ever made music concert four countries, namely; Indonesia, Switzerland, England and France within the framework of promoting the existence of Gua Gong abroad. Room six, is the hermitage and the last room is a stone seven gongs. Stones is that when we hit the drum, will make a sound like a gong.

As the characteristics of the mountains which form has in this way, the flow of water will be found difficult or even not at all the way to the top of the mountain, and springs in the mountains is only found under (or Dayeuh CILAWU Manggung). Therefore, the climbers must carry adequate water supplies.

To reach the high mountain peaks reaching 2821 meters above sea level, needs time for 7 to 12 hours for normal time and at a certain time should be encouraged climbers to rest to preserve the condition and energy. Because the climbing route which is still included rarely touched by people, then we will be from natural forests and beautiful, but it should be remembered by every climber in that long journey to the summit we will find some of the branching roads, because the instructions to the mountaintop is not clear and Mount Gede who has use the arrows to reach the peak, the gang leader must always be extra careful in taking the path that climbers do not climb a little misleading because in determining the correct path will be passed in the ascent.

Forest is there in the mountains this is one of the forest which is perfect, because in some parts of the valley slope or almost never dijamah by humans, as evidenced when the author was trying to open a new path, the author does not find ex-ex-exploitation of human beings, and even search kayupun never reach the location.

It was evident from the absence of any trace in the form of a discount department paths, both the top and down the peak. And the situation is different with most of the mountain in Central Java. Mountains in Central Java than Mount Slamet (3428 M) has experienced large-scale exploitation of the forest so as buffer areas around water sources and clean for people to be disturbed even in some places almost found the water flow.

Each climber will feel happy after reaching the peak, as in climbing to the top of Mount Cikurai this. Climber satisfied after reaching the peak. Especially cikurai peak, climber will be the scene are probably different from the top of the mountain scenery on the other, because if we stand at the top of the mountain is more or less the extent of “football field”, the view is very clear we will see the surrounding mountains, as there is no any trees or buildings that obstruct our view. Therefore, the climber should culminate in the early days when the sunrise, the landscape probably will never be forgotten.

After climbing the peak is complete, the climber is given the option to decline path. Climber can descend down to the Cikajang or skip lines when the climber early start climbing.

To achieve Cikuray can be increased with the vehicle from the public or from Tasikmalaya Bandung toward terminal Guntur. From the city terminal, we can ride the city transportation department number 06 Garut – Cilawu and down in the portal nusantara tea plantation (PTPN) VIII or Dayeuh Manggung. From here, proceed with the journey on foot around 10 km to the station several television stations as a starting point climb. If you want fast, we can rent motorcycles at Rp.30 ribu per person.
Or 2 can use another path climbing commonplace use (Cikajang & Bayongbong). The three lines offer a very interesting field with characteristics of each. Channel bayongbong path is the most precipitous, but it can quickly reach the peak.

Sesampainya there are some beaches you can visit one at the beach, among Santolo, Heulang Unfortunately, Cijeruk Indah Beach, Rancabuaya, and Paintai Pameungpeuk.
santolo coast or Coastal cilaunteureun the most visited tourist Santolo the beach that is located about 7 km from the small town, Pameungpeuk. This beach is the gathering place of the traditional fishermen as the main search-eyed fish in the Ocean Hindia.Anda can also rent a boat for the surrounding ocean, so you can enjoy the beautiful beach panorama from the sea.

Green sea Pameungpeuk Garut average despite the natural enggak so we need to worry with the facilities that you need because there we can find a wide range of food, cendramata from clothing accessories to the beach, accommodation is also available if we want to spend the night there.

That is not less important where we can find the location of eight satellites (the National Institute Antarariksa) was launched, because near the coast is a research center launch eight satellites. Still more that needs to be known about the natural wealth of Garut Pameungpeuk not touchable by foreign and local tourists.
