Discover Tulungagung

When looking for a hotel in Tulungagung, it is worth distinguishing between the town itself and the wider Tulungagung Regency. Taman Aloon-Aloon is the specific park in town; temples, landscapes and coastal destinations add to the travel options across the regency. This lets you consider local park activities and regional excursions as different priorities when planning your trip.

City Park and a Prominent Landmark

Taman Aloon-Aloon serves as a children’s playground and sports park. A tower topped by a Garuda statue, approximately 30 metres high, stands at the centre of the grounds. These two features appeal to different interests: the park’s facilities are for play and sports, while the tower creates a striking architectural feature at its centre. For a stay focused on Tulungagung itself, this is a specific urban landmark; the destinations below are in the wider regency.

Temples and Hill Country in the Regency

In the wider Tulungagung Regency, Candi Penampihan is a three-terraced temple complex in Dusun Turi, Desa Geger, Kecamatan Sendang. Candi Dadi is a cultural heritage site on the Wajakkidul Hills in Boyolangu, Tulungagung Regency. The temple stands on a hill near Desa Wajak Kidul and offers views of the Wilis Mountains, Tulungagung town and the surrounding land.

Access to Candi Dadi is an important factor to consider when planning: the site can only be reached on foot via an approximately one-hour uphill walk along a trail through the hills; vehicles cannot reach it. Conditions may vary by season, so check the trail before your visit. By contrast, the description of Candi Penampihan focuses on its three-terraced temple complex.

Tradition at Telaga Buret

The Ulur-Ulur tradition takes place regularly at Telaga Buret in Desa Sawo, Kecamatan Campurdarat, in every Selo month of the Javanese calendar. If you want to take the date into account when planning your trip, check the date for the relevant year.

Crafts and Coast

Along the road to the excursion destination of Pantai Indah Popoh are centres for marble and onyx crafts. They make souvenirs such as tables, lamps, statues, vases, dining tables and chairs, as well as natural stone mosaics. Pantai Popoh is a beach destination in Tulungagung Regency, in a bay surrounded by green hills. Visitors can buy fresh fish there and eat seafood at nearby stalls; the offerings may vary from stall to stall. The regional attractions differ: stone crafts along the road, and a coast with seafood at Pantai Popoh.

To travel towards Pantai Popoh, you can take public transport from Tulungagung Terminal or Tulungagung Railway Station and then use an ojek. Check the current availability of the service before setting out.
