Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

There are several distinct highlights to consider when traveling to Trawas: the cultural parade at the Kecamatan Trawas level, Reco Lanang in Desa Trawas, Petung Bamboo Grove in Desa Belik, and the attractions of Desa Wisata Kesiman. The scale also differs: the parade involves the Kecamatan, while Reco Lanang and the grove are each associated with a particular Desa.

Cultural Parade in Kecamatan Trawas

A 2025 report describes the Kecamatan Trawas cultural parade as an annual event held to celebrate Indonesia’s Independence Day and names PHBN Kecamatan Trawas as the organizer. Participants include all the villages in the Kecamatan, as well as village representatives, government offices and institutions, food and beverage businesses, and hotels. The parade thus brings together different groups from the Kecamatan for a shared cultural event.

The edition described in a report dated August 27, 2025, featured ornaments created by local residents, a variety of costumes, and distinctive village-branding concepts. That edition’s route ran from Lapangan Trawas to Taman Ghanjaran. If the parade is an important reason for your trip, check the dates for the edition you want to attend before finalizing your travel dates.

Petung Bamboo Grove and Reco Lanang

Petung Bamboo Grove is located in Desa Belik in Kecamatan Trawas and covers about 3.5 hectares. Petung bamboo grows throughout the grove; according to village representatives, the trees are believed to be hundreds of years old.

Reco Lanang is located in Dusun Kemlaka, Desa Trawas. The Buddha statue is made of stone and is about 5.7 meters tall. In contrast to Petung Bamboo Grove, the focus here is on a single named object. Reco Lanang is a stone Buddha statue about 5.7 meters tall; Petung Bamboo Grove offers a scenic counterpoint, with around 3.5 hectares of Petung bamboo. Travelers weighing culture and scenery as different interests can compare these two attractions accordingly.
