Glamping for family time.
About a year ago my kids, my best friend and I went to Giri Wanara Glamping place. It was our first time to experience glamping, which has started to become a trend here in my country. We chose this place for our getaway because it is not too far from where I live, only about 2-3 hours from my house by car. We avoided the crowd and complicated holiday trip since at that time we still had a strict restriction for travelling due to COVID. Giri Wanara is in Sanskrit, meaning Monkey Mountain (Giri means mountain and Wanara means monkey). Yes there is a forest, the habitat of the long tail monkeys across the hill where the glamping location is, but no monkeys enter the glamping areas which is a relief for me LOL. Giri Wanara is located in the hills with an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level. When we got there, it was exactly what we expected; very quiet and not a lot of people there. Fortunately, we got the tent with the best view, so we could enjoy the sunrise and sunset from our balcony, precious. Some outdoor activities were also included in the package, and we decided to go hiking. We went up and down the hill, crossed the forest and the river. We saw some monkeys in the forest, but they kept their distance from us. I think the best part of the hiking for my kids was they had the opportunity to swim in the river. The food was good too, especially the breakfast in the tent. One thing that was missing in this place at that time was the swimming pool, I think it would be good for additional facilities. But overall, it was a really nice place to get away from the hectic and stressful days.
