Turi

In Desa Ekowisata Pancoh in Girikerto, Kecamatan Turi, nature activities combine with insights into agriculture and crafts. Nature activities include river hikes, fishing and working in rice fields; educational activities cover animal husbandry, cultivation, processing and craftwork. This combination gives you different options for planning your trip: you can focus on exercise by the river, working with rice, or topics that lead to making and processing. This lets you shape your stay around what you would like to learn more about.

Rivers, rice fields and nature activities

River hikes add an active element to the nature-focused part of your visit, while fishing offers a different focus. In the rice fields, activities include rice cultivation, planting, harvesting and ploughing. So the experience is about more than just the scenery: the various activities involved in cultivation are also part of what you can experience in Pancoh. If you would like to make your stay more active, you can focus on these nature activities and distinguish them from the educational and craft topics.

Another specific point of interest is the Sungai Gendhol, where visitors can play. This adds a distinct option to the other nature activities. When planning, you can consider the river and rice-field activities separately: hiking offers a different focus from playing in the Sungai Gendhol, while the rice-field activities draw attention to cultivation and agricultural work.

Agriculture and hands-on craft learning

The educational activities broaden the focus beyond the rice fields. They include raising Etawa goats and fish farming; rice cultivation also features among the agricultural topics. Salak activities include both cultivation and processing, so the topic extends beyond growing the fruit. Biogas processing is another activity. The range therefore covers practical topics from animal husbandry and crop cultivation to processing.

The craft side also takes several specific forms: caping hat art, batik-making and bamboo weaving. These activities complement the educational topics of agriculture and processing, offering a different focus for your visit. If you are more interested in craft techniques, you can distinguish these topics from goat rearing, fish farming or fieldwork; if you would like to learn about different aspects of rural activities, there are several options to choose from.

Find a holiday apartment to suit your travel interests

When choosing a holiday apartment in Turi, the kind of stay you want can be a useful starting point: would you mainly like to plan river and nature activities, are you more interested in rice-field work, or do the educational and craft topics appeal to you?

If you are travelling with children, you can discuss in advance which topics—nature, rice-field work or crafts—are likely to prompt the most conversation. If you have a particular activity in mind, check in advance what is available to visitors in Pancoh. This will help you plan your days around the activities you specifically want to include.
