Discover Ngantang: Landscape, Reservoir and Durian

Ngantang and its surrounding area appeal to a range of interests: scenery and agriculture at Desa Wisata Mulyorejo, the history of Waduk Selorejo, and the theme of a durian grove. If you are looking for a hotel in Ngantang, you can use these highlights as a guide when planning your stay. The places described are in the destination’s surrounding area.

Landscape and history nearby

Desa Wisata Mulyorejo is in the surrounding area of Ngantang and near Waduk Selorejo. From there, you can enjoy views of mountains and agricultural land. In Mulyorejo, agriculture is also connected with preserving local village traditions. This landscape theme therefore brings together scenic views and a cultural connection to agriculture.

The location details distinguish between the points of reference: the views and traditions described belong to Mulyorejo; Waduk Selorejo is in Desa Pandansari. Mulyorejo is near the reservoir, but the names refer to different places. This is useful when locating destinations in the surrounding area and distinguishing between their respective highlights.

Waduk Selorejo was built in 1963 and inaugurated by President Soeharto in 1970. Its construction and inauguration mark two distinct stages in its history. Together, the two dates give the reservoir a clearly dated historical background, distinct from the landscape and agriculture perspective in Mulyorejo.

At Waduk Selorejo: a connection and a boat ride

At Waduk Selorejo, a suspension bridge connects the swimming pool area with the culinary centre. A 2026 report also describes motorboat rides across the reservoir. These offer two different ways to experience the water: the bridge connects two named areas, while the motorboat ride takes you across the lake. This distinction gives you a concrete point of reference when considering what kind of experience interests you. If a motorboat ride is important to your plans, check whether it is available before your visit.

Durian grove and products from Dusun Kasin

Kampoeng Wisata Durian is nearby, in Dusun Kasin, Desa Jombok, Kecamatan Ngantang. The activities described include an educational walk through the durian grove, where visitors can pretend to be durian farmers. The grove and its agricultural connection give this destination a different focus from the landscape at Mulyorejo or the history of the reservoir.

A 2024 report describes the sale there of durian fruit from Dusun Kasin and various products made from it. The walk and the products are two distinct aspects: one relates to the grove and a playful introduction to durian farming, while the other concerns the fruit’s origin and processing. If you are looking for specific products, check what is currently available before visiting.
