Posted by no name at 4:12 AM
To find another beauty in Batu you have to try this contentment, how about paragliding? Batu is not only promising about the beauty of natural scenery but Batu can be the best choice for those who love adrenalin tourism such as paragliding. To get this amusement just go to Banyak mountain which more familiar as the aero spot in Malang Regency. Paragliders usually come to this place in June up to October.
Banyak mountain which stand 7°51′45″S   112°30′15″E (1350m) is considered as the best mountain-base paragliding site in Indonesia. The elevation from launching to landing is about 400m with only less than 2km away, flyable almost 365 days a year, ridge soaring and thermals, good access to the site, and beautiful landscape of Kota Batu and Mt. Panderman. Perfect for schooling and tandem paragliding.
This area is intentionally selected because it suitable as paragliding sports center, you can fly around, peering scenery from the air then landed in the Songgorit area.
In this place, a national event of paragliding often held on this location. Because of the transportation and accommodation facilities are quite good to  go to Banyak mountain.
From Malang's bus station (Arjosari), take a blue shuttle van AL (Arjosari-Landungsari) then from Landungsari station, take a purple shuttle van to Batu, stop over at Batu' station and take a green shuttle van, stop over at Songgoriti.
