Another beautiful lake near my home town. Telaga Ngebel is located at Ponorogo, East Java, 25km away from central Ponorogo city at the feet of Mt. Wilis.
A bit secluded and compared to Sarangan, this one is bigger and less crowded.
There are not so many activities here, and only have few places to stay overnight. If you’re lucky, sometimes you can see parades of certain ceremony here. People wearing traditional costumes and bring offerings to the god of the lake, wishing for abundance harvest. also you can see their original culture that called as ‘Reog Ponorogo’ that often performs here.

Indeed a very peaceful scenery. What kind of farm there in the middle of the lake moxeous?
serene and scenic, the sunset photo is magnificent!
A very nice looking place. Your second picture gives it a completely different look from the first.
@vanilla7: it was a ‘Nila’ fish farm. A local species of edible fish.
@Cher & Ratty: Thank you for your generous comments
Absolutely beautiful! The color in the second picture is totally awesome!
I love the two different moods
A place delights us differently at different times.
beautiful sunset..
Serenity lake is a very fitting name for it. Beautiful
Looks very peaceful. I think it would be neat to see people dressed up in their traditional clothes and watching some of the parades and ceremonies. I think sometimes we take things like that for granted. I am just fascinated with seeing stuff like that. It’s interesting and you can always learn something from it.
