Coban Pelangi
Forest waterfall on the road from Malang to Bromo, where rainbows often appear in the morning spray on sunny days; a short walk suitable for a quick stop.
Coban Pelangi lies beside the road from Tumpang in Malang Regency to Bromo, at about 1,300 meters above sea level. The waterfall is about 110 meters high and falls into a fern-filled valley. On sunny mornings, when sunlight strikes the mist, a rainbow often appears, which gives it its name. From the parking area, a forest path descends about 1 km, a round trip of about an hour, with slippery steps and rocks. Admission is cheap. It is ideal for travelers heading from Malang toward Bromo to stop on the way there or back.
