"Situ Wanayasa" One of The Iconic Lakes in West Java, Indonesia

Situ Wanayasa is a beautiful lake that can refresh the eyes and is also one of the iconic lakes in West Java, Indonesia, even in Indonesia itself. Situ Wanayasa is a 7 ha natural lake located in Wanayasa sub-district, about 50 minutes from downtown Purwakarta. Located at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, this tourist attraction has cool air. The unique thing that is interesting about Wanayasa is the existence of a small island in the middle of the lake. On the island, which is named Pasir Mantri, lies the tomb of one of the founders of Purwakarta. This figure is R.A Suriawinata, a figure who had served as the 9th regent of Karawang when the area of ​​Karawang still covered the present-day Karawang district, Subang district, and Purwakarta district. Here tourists are treated to a beautiful view of the lake with a backdrop of Mount Burangrang and vast green rice fields as far as the eye can see. Tourists can also ride the water duck rides available around the small island. In addition, tourists can go on a culinary tour with Purwakarta specialties, such as maranggi satay, which is widely offered by restaurants scattered around Situ Wanayasa. In addition to offering natural beauty, visitors can also hunt for photos because Situ Wanayasa itself has many good spots to be immortalized, be it at the entrance bridge, when riding a water duck ride, relaxing on the Mantri Sand Island, or at a restaurant with natural views dazzling.
