Blang Kulam Waterfall One of the Abandoned Tourist Attractions

One of the tourist attractions around my hometown is called the Blang Kulam Waterfall, so this is one of the tourist attractions that used to be very popular with the community, but because after several things happened in the area, the location of this waterfall is no longer visited by many people in the area. my community. that day I visited this waterfall and saw this location was abandoned and overgrown with shrubs and the place there was no longer maintained so I was very sad to see it because it used to be one of the most visited tourist attractions. I first came to this tourist spot. when I was a teenager around the 1990s so at that time I was brought by my parents to visit this place I still remember when I visited this place was very crowded with people, and many were selling very crowded so this place used to be a very crowded place and extraordinary people who visit this place I mean, formerly Blang Kulam Waterfall, this pool is one of the favorite tourist attractions in the province of Aceh, Indonesia.

I have wanted to go to this place for a long time but due to time constraints I have not had time to visit this place but one afternoon my friend came to my house and invited me to come to a waterfall which is not too far from my hometown. The location of this waterfall is about 15 km from my house, more or less can travel 15 minutes by motorbike, on that day my friend said we have to go to a place that has a good view especially the natural scenery so after we talked we decided to go to a water waterfall named Blang Kulam Waterfall.

In the photos I show it looks like this place has been abandoned and overgrown with weeds. It used to be a place for people to relax. I'm also a local who sells various kinds of food. Also, this place is very neglected. I have arrived at this place trying to take pictures of some parts of the place. This is me when I first visited this place, there are no walls like this, nor are there any permanent facilities or constructions. Previously there were only wooden buildings and some were made of plastic tents, but now it seems that all of them have been permanently built, namely concrete buildings, but all of them have not been abandoned and are just a waste of money. used to be famous for its tourist attractions but now all of that is no longer taken care of like it used to be.

After arriving at the parking location and supporting facilities where the Blang pool waterfall is, there are no people walking around, it's just me and a friend, the Blang kulam waterfall is located between oil palm plantations and also not far from this place, there is one other tourist spot in the form of a waterfall, it is also called a Termite waterfall and if the Blang kulam waterfall is located down the stairs, sometimes travelers prefer a termite waterfall because this termite waterfall does not need to go down thousands of stairs, but it is different from a waterfall. Blang kulam waterfall is indeed very different from the beauty of the termite waterfall, we have to go down thousands of stairs if we go down the stairs it is not too tired but if we climb the stairs it feels very tired, especially for people who are physically weak, so mostly local tourists choose to visit the termite waterfall which is not too far from the Blang Kulam waterfall, and below are some photos of me when I visited the Blang Kulam waterfall. After arriving at the parking location and the supporting facilities where the Blang kulam waterfall is, there are no people hanging around, just me and a friend, the Blang kulam waterfall is located between the gardens palm oil and also not far from this place, there is one other tourist spot that is in the form of a waterfall also called the Termite waterfall and if the Blang kulam waterfall is located a lot down the stairs, sometimes the travelers prefer the termite waterfall because if this termite waterfall doesn't need to go down thousands of stairs but it is different from the Blang kulam waterfall, its beauty is very different from the termite waterfall, we have to go down thousands of stairs if we go down the stairs it's not too tired but if we climb the stairs it is very felt tired especially for people who are physically weak so mostly local tourists too chose to visit the termite waterfall which is not too far from the Blang kulam waterfall, and below are some photos from me when I visited the pool Blang kulam waterfall.

In the photo you can see the waterfall is very beautiful and I had to walk between the rocks to take pictures of the blang waterfall in this pool after that I plunged into the water because I needed to cross the river a little to be able to take a clearer picture of the blang kulam waterfall in this pool after That's why I stood between the rocks to take pictures of the waterfall tonight so this river is not too big but because of its deep location and in an area that is still natural forest, so this river water can be said to be a lot and also never dry in this waterfall as beautiful as if the atmosphere on a sunny day is not here. when it rains sometimes when it rains the river water is cloudy so automatically the river water is not clear and less attractive to take photos.

I think this waterfall is about 50 meters high if I'm not mistaken there are also 2 waterfalls from all of these my friend also really said he took pictures with this waterfall he didn't forget to also take some photos from the waterfall blang kulam I was not satisfied when taking pictures of me want to climb the rocks again to the top of the hill on the outskirts of the waterfall.

On the day I came to this place I did not take a shower because I did not bring a change of clothes but on another day, when local tourists visited, many people bathed in this waterfall pool because apart from the clear water, the river is also not too deep, I know from a friend - friends that in previous years there were incidents of people drowning in this place maybe that person was too far to swim so he knew how to swim but it was a disaster so we couldn't prevent it after I took a photo of this pool translation I also had time to wash my face because It's a very hot day, why do I want to take a lot of photos from the Blang Kulam waterfall because I rarely do this, if you want why do you have to struggle to go down stairs and climb thousands of stairs, it's very tiring, so like I said above, many tourists come here. switch to a location or other tourist attraction that is not too exhausting in traveling to that place.

Next to the waterfall, there is something like a hill so I went up to that place to take a closer look at the waterfall and I also wanted to ask my friend to take a photo of me, so my expression in the photo looks very big and the water is very large. Besides this waterfall, there are various plants growing. very natural green but I don't think anyone will reach there because without it, this little sister is here so I want to take some more photos from here and there's a video that I will upload on 3speak and I'll show it for you.

And finally I went home before I climbed the stairs I took the time to wash my face in this river so I like this the father is very clean very suitable for bathing as I told you came that day I did not shower and I think I have taken enough photos in this place so the rest climbed the stairs, which amounted to thousands to go home, this is the most tiring one. It was climbing the stairs one by one but from that it didn't feel like it was raining these stairs were a little because many were gently handled and I was with my friends little by little climbing these stairs is very tiring so on the sidelines of climbing these stairs I say to take photos with friends.

That's the story of my trip to the Blang kulam waterfall, thank you for your attention, see you in my next post.
