Telaga Waja Rafting: Whitewater Rafting In Bali

River Region, located in Karangasem Bali this, arguably the best river for tourism whitewater rafting in Bali . Because the degree of difficulty above the Ayung River that has been popular earlier, a river lake has a grade 3-3 + waja still safe as river tours, other than that the river is very clear, until the basis of river visible.

Vegetation left-right is also still very, very full of original plant, namely a kind of elephant grass ditumbuhin bersingungan directly with river water, was dirawa-flowing marsh. supported formation of gap-jurangan, which marks the river is kind of an old river.

I’ve been wanting berarung rapids here, waja river lake, a few months earlier I had arungi Ayung river, the river would still be wondering who exactly this good doang, in Bali, he said there is still the coolest of the river, temen-temen Bali declared waja lake is the answer. 🙂

This time I was accompanied by 3 children Wanaprastha Dharma (Rai, Klepon and Kuhl) and one chum again Pusgiwa former celebrities in Depok, Ipeh who happened to be on duty in Bali.

Location pengarungan far from Denpasar, we need to charter a car for five, which will drop off and pick up in the Finish the future. other than that we tried to contact King’s senior colleague who worked at WD Sobek Bali to be able to get a rubber boat rental with a student price. Finally, with three hundred thousand, we can rent a boat full of fellow that is Gus Edi King (Operator Running 081,337,314,375). To Start pengarungan we take the most upstream in the BIR (Bali International Rafting) after the same preamble benama owner start the bowl:). And plan on Bridge Finish pengarungan distance so long this time most approximately 25 km more.

Saturday, October 27, 2007

The river is so interesting for me because I was as captain of the boat got to know the decision of each rapids in front of me, fortunately only 2 people ever ngarungi WD river so there is help to identify the places of danger, previous stories, and the alloying at the BIR here, portray formations dangers of this river. It makes me cringe as well as river running across the river without the system, there is no back up other boats. Ability of the crew? I’m more confident wah ya, Ipeh former Skipper, Rai had accompanied me on the Ayung and Klepon and Kuhl has been through this river so it is not wrong if “pede aja again”. 😉

Before pengarungan, I ask for prayers for a while and stretch sufficiently. I hold the oar with the river sense of confidence that is still felt, Ok we pren arugula Telaga Waja rafting in this gloomy weather.

Its size and the narrow river which flows fairly deres so maneuvering is required continuously, the number of bumps protruding rock that overwhelmed me as skipper for ngeblok ngeblok left and right, the crew apparently did not like the expectations can not be compact or model emang river boat made the motion lost momentum … Damn new 100 meter aja nih nih udeh lemes body: (, if I may conclude his big boat is not suitable for this river … the river will be compatible with the boat 3-4 people or inflatable kayak. The size of our boat for 6-8 people.

Pantesan the skipper here said, we do not have to paddle a river nganter let us into the finish. But the ability to pass through a narrow celah2 absolutely can for the guides here. Bener2 no flats, the boat did not have rowed the boat was speeding dengen condition. Without realizing command more I paddle back to report to the crew…

The next obstacle is the Dam, of course we do not pass, let alone a passing boat. Dam with the average flow was as high as 8 meters. The Kuhl said he could koq but only one person, just look at the fall boat was not going to the opposite koq (in my heart this is the wrong conclusion, when a boat at the mouth of the waterfall he would share the burden falls heaviest to first, where the seating position is secure would be difficult for the brave arrange it .. yes) .. um I think twice to try it … one bit to get out the boat and hit a rock in a river. No and do deh!

Ngaak far from here there is one meter drop rapids, bener2 straight position, do not be stuck miring2 or crosswise and wrap, or upside down, because in fact a good start with us more happy past. 🙂

In the midst pengarungan find a cute waterfall staircase, wah nih suitable place to just rest and play with the waterfall. The farmers also take care around this waterfall, including weeding and preparing the rock to this waterfall.

Wooden bridge quite a lot of hurdles here, there may be 4-5 bridge which made citizens, for our past bener2 boom into the boat, do not ampe stuck because his boat sped cepet, if we stuck a helmet or in a float boat could be dragged out lho … unfortunately the bridge is made in the river a short distance of her. the distance between the river near the river narrows and flows automatically added cepet let alone bridge the distance and one meter of water surface cuman … When the water again gede tuh because many are subject to water level and bridge the distance shortens again.

There is still one that makes us dedegan at Telaga Waja that is past the second dam with boat. Dam is not as high as 3-4 meters before cuman made sloping less than 80 degrees, so there are different technique to get past this Dam. First time I entrust my fate as the spade foot to controlling the boat … He said the boat went straight anyway, if udeh Nebraskan waterfall at the mouth full backs, so that no body was thrown forward.

I noticed the missing front bener2 horizontally in front of me … Yep Dam is formed by the past I was not sure because have not seen it … Modality Dam characters cuman friends believe the same point, this is a safe point.

Toward the mouth Dam we all cried as she lay down serebah2nya sekeras2nya dedegan not obvious how was the continuation of his fate, and two seconds later, screams with joy … because it escaped from backward or spilled out of the boat … bener2 nih surprise, I’ve never passed this Dam height. 🙂

The next rapids rafting casual-but still cool to play with … and ends at the bridge  large vehicles, public transportation that we charter are ready to wait, and back.

Review 2: Telaga Waja Rafting

The third day is the most exhausting day. In the morning we leave for the lake waja , acid rock. To get there we traveled about 2 hours. Before you get there, driver dropped us off at the Hill Crest, said the as a special service of all who want to lake waja.

Crest of the hill is a very beautiful place. I was puzzled to explain how, but I have a picture (even with HP) I will upload later, hopefully not just blurry pictures.

Now on this mountain is also sold shoes for rafting (Rafting), I suggest you buy it here if you use a shoe or slipper-flops, at least if you do not want to wind up like me who damaged sendalnya. Slipper prices here could in freshwater until the price of Rp 20,000 so if the seller offers above that price, just got to figure bargaining 20,000, more good if it could be under that price. After the break, photographs and buying shoes for a moment, we continued our journey to the location of rafting, which is in the lake waja.

Arriving there, we found a torn party, a company that will guide us in doing Rafting (Rafting). Sobek parties we explain in general about the process of rafting, rafting equipment usage and how to swim or how to save yourself if you fell from the boat. For those who can not swim well not to worry, because the life jacket of the Sobek will make you continue to float, after all the water in the lake waja quite shallow, only about 1 meter depth, so if the river flow that is not too large, you are falling could soon stand.

Once completed briefing, we were divided into groups 1 group consisting of maximum 4 people. After that, one group of people found with 1 instructor. Instructors are then helped us put on rafting equipment (Rafting), make sure the equipment is secure and comfortable in our bodies. Once installed all the equipment we brought to the riverbank.

On the edge of the river, we explained again about the way of rafting (Rafting) and not only that, this time more detailed instructions and we at once asked to exercise on land. Instructors are menginfokan the meaning of the instructions that will he give and what should we do when we hear these instructions. For example, instructions to duck, then we must menundung, and instruction for forward, backward, or preparation of the handle when the collision will occur.

Preparation Rafting

After the simulated instructions telaga waja rafting (Rafting) on land and after the instructor felt that we had understood these instructions, then he took us to a river. Well, it was pretty exciting rafting experience, we paddled about 2 hours enjoying nature, enjoying the swift currents and clean air.

Yes, although at the end of lumaya feels sore, especially when we reached the end. To rise to the top we should climb the stairs that go up the stairs for about 10 minutes was far more tiring than on the process of rafting (Rafting) itself is over 2 hours. Alhambra during rafting accident does not happen anything. Although I could see the Japanese who fell from his rubber boat, but he’s not okay, and when the current is slowly turned right, the river is shallow because that person can stand and the water was only waist-high he is. Afterward we had lunch and then back to the hotel. In the middle of the course, the sandals I got water damage because most, knew this was my first purchase of sandals for rafting.

At night, our body aches. Finally me and my friends decide to massage. Massage is a massage that we chose siatu in a place called Griya Fit Massage. This massage place is where massage is true (in the sense that no plus plus) and a massage on experts in their field.

At the entrance we served masseuse photos, here we can choose who will massage you. After that we went into the room (the door with a curtain) and the massage begins. Here, the masseuse will trample on us (siatsu is a massage in a way menginjak2x) so if your body is thin, do not try siatsu, can-can you break a bone. At that time, the massage I was named eva, pijatnya good enough, his body was also not too heavy so it is not too painful massage. Finished our massages and then pay to those places we’d sign up, its cost is Rp 50,000/hour for tips to pemijatnya is up to you.

After the massage, my body refreshed and feeling tired and exhausted after rafting was much reduced. We go back to the hotel and characteristic. Tomorrow we will tour, so still need a break.
