Pelawan Namang Desert
This destination is certainly very rare to find in Indonesia. Bangka Belitung Island has a desert called Pelawan Namang Desert. The location is in Namang District, Central Bangka Regency. From the airport, it is quite far, about 50,000 meters. Even though it's far but everything will pay off when you arrive in Pelawan Namang Desert.
Even though it looks like a desert in general, Pelawan Namang Desert is different. This desert is not a natural desert but a formerly abandoned mine site. Over time, this mine became increasingly arid and turned into a desert.
Kaolin Aek Biru Lake
Kaolin Aek Biru Lake is also known as Blue Lake. As the name suggests, this lake does have a blue lake. Kaolin Aek Biru Lake is located in Air Bara Village, Koba. Just like the Pelawan Namang Desert, Kaolin Aek Biru Lake is actually an abandoned mine. Although the facilities there are still inadequate, the scenery is very unique and interesting.
Batu Belinyu Wall Beach
Bangka Belitung has a pretty unique beach called Batu Belinyu Wall Beach. Here there is a large stone measuring 20x15 meters and 5 meters thick. Then on the front of the big rock, there is a new one that resembles a stingray and a stone shaped like a frog. It is so beautiful that many even call this beach similar to the panorama in the Lord of the Rings movie.
Pait Jaya Muntok Waterfall
After lakes, deserts, beaches, Bangka Belitung also has waterfalls. This waterfall has been around since 1992. At first, this waterfall was used as a resting place by farmers because of its location near rice fields and gardens, but gradually this waterfall became a tourist spot. The location of Pait Jaya Muntok Waterfall is very beautiful so it is perfect for those of you who want to refresh.
Bangka Botanical Garden
Bangka Botanical Garden has been developed since 2007. Located in Ketapang, this garden has an area of about 300 hectares. Initially Bangka Botanical Garden was just a sandy swamp. Because the soil is very fertile, this area can finally be overgrown with all kinds of plants. Now Bangka Botanical Garden has become agro-tourism with an integrated system from livestock, fisheries, to plantations. This garden is also an example of zero-waste processing, you know.
Bangka Belitung Island has many interesting tourist objects, right? Very suitable as a destination for a long holiday later. So, to make your vacation more satisfying, you have to set your holiday budget as well as possible.
