Last week I was told by my friend about his trip to Telaga Waja, located in Muncan Village, Karangasem, Bali. I feel attracted and challenged by the story, and plans to go there with another friends. And finally, yesterday morning I depart from Kuta towards Karangasem by motorcycle. Because not jammed, this trip takes two and a half hours. And fortunately the day was sunny, so it doesn’t obstruct my trip.
Arriving at the Telaga Waja, a guide who has been trained give directions to us and other visitors. After giving directions, the guide provides safety equipment that already national standarized (life jacket, helmet, and paddle). Equipment are ready, and now its time for rafting. This was my first experience in rafting, so my hand is still hard to paddle. But it's not a problem, because there are friends who are already experienced in this.
During rafting, I see the unspoiled natural scenery. At every edge of the river there are, rice fields, shrubs, and trees. Not only the natural scenery, the fresh air around the area become an attraction to rafting in Telaga Waja. On the north side, we see the exotic view of Mount Agung which is the highest mountain in Bali. This is truly become an amazing experience for me.
After two hours wading through Telaga Waja river,
we arrived at resting place. Near from resting place, there are a restaurant which is in the middle of rice fields. Everything feels so natural here. In this restaurant, rafting participants can enjoy a buffet menu that has been provided. Other facilities such as changing rooms and toilets are very adequate. If I had spare time or holiday, I will come here again with family. So, if you've never feel the rafting sensation in Telaga Waja, immediately visit this place with your friends or family. It certainly would be fun!
