TIMES MALANG, MALANG – Located in the cool highlands of Pujon, Malang Regency, Taman Kemesraan has grown into one of the most beloved tourist destinations in East Java since its opening in 2020. Only a 30-minute drive from Malang city center, the park offers a refreshing escape surrounded by lush pine forests.

Families, couples, and even Gen-Z visitors come here not only to enjoy the scenery but also to find a calm ambience away from their busy routines. The combination of fresh air and natural beauty has made it one of the region’s most visited places.

Mythology and Beautiful Panorama

Unlike many other tourist attractions in Malang, Taman Kemesraan highlights Javanese cultural traditions. The park’s name is inspired by the eternal love story of Kamajaya and Kamaratih in Javanese mythology. At its center stands a monumental statue of the two figures, surrounded by sculptures of Ganesha, lingga-yoni, and wayang characters.

These ornaments make the park more than just a scenic landscape — it also serves as a historical and educational space with spiritual nuances. Visitors can appreciate this depth of meaning while enjoying various leisure activities.

The entrance ticket is affordable, ranging from IDR 25,000 to 30,000, including a welcome drink. For an additional IDR 15,000, visitors can enjoy a boat ride on the lake.

For adventure seekers, the park also offers rafting, ATV rides, outbound challenges, and camping facilities that provide excitement beyond sightseeing.

“This place has become popular nowadays and is worth coming back to,” said Alfiyatul, one of the visitors (24/8/2025).
