Nglanggeran Tourism Village

The Nglanggeran people work together to improve their economy by promoting several tourist centers, such as ancient volcanoes, reservoirs, and Kedungkandang waterfall. Not only that, the local community also promotes chocolate cultivation, fattening Etawa goats, and managing homestays.
Munduk Tourism Village
This tourist village is located in Banjar, Buleleng Regency, North Bali. Declared as a tourist village because the scenery is really beautiful.

Not only these two villages, in Indonesia there are still several tourist villages that are recognized by the world for their beauty, elegance, and community wisdom in managing their villages.

Like other areas in Sleman, the people in this village also depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Even so, they still keep the environment beautiful, cool, and can even improve the community’s economy because it is visited by many tourists.
Some examples of these tourist villages seem to provide inspiration in the world of technology.

Natural Scenery in the Forest
As soon as you get out of the parking lot, you will be immediately greeted with a very large statue of a mother monkey, as big as a gorilla. The statue that stands on the Mandala Wisata Wenara Wana monument is surrounded by several small monkey statues playing and sticking to the monument.
After passing this statue, you will enter a forest gate in the form of a small building with a pyramid roof. At the top of this building there is a mustaka. In this place, you have to pay an entrance ticket of IDR 50,000 for adults and IDR 40,000 for children aged 3-12 years. Pretty cheap, right?
Once you enter the forest, various species of trees will welcome you. In this place, there are at least 115 species of trees, ranging from large tall trees to small and short. No wonder you can immediately feel the fresh air typical of the forest here.
The deeper you go, you will find a dragon and monkey statue that has a very beautiful and detailed architecture. This statue stands on the edge of a circular pond. Usually, this place is the most preferred spot for visitors to capture their visit. From this place, you can visit three temples which are divided into three different paths. The three temples are Pura Agung Dalem as the main temple in the middle of the forest, Pura Beji which is in the northwest, and Pura Prajapati where the Ngaben ceremony is held.
Long Tailed Ape Aggression
Apart from trees, this forest is also inhabited by hundreds of long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis). At least, there are 340 macaques which are divided into four groups and dominate in different areas. The monkeys in this place are quite aggressive. Some of them even block visitors to ask for “taxes”. However, although aggressive, the monkeys in this place are quite smart and “polite”. They will only ask for taxes from visitors who do provide food for them, even though the food is tightly hidden in a bag.
For visitors who do not bring food, there is no need to worry because they will not be disturbed at all. They also will not steal or take visitors’ belongings such as glasses or other items.

Not surprising, because the total area of this forest reaches 27 hectares. So, prepare your stamina before traveling to Mandala Wisata Wenara Wana.
