I recommend visiting Rainbow Hills Rumbai! It’s a beautiful hidden spot with colorful landscapes, and the best part is it’s very budget-friendly. You only need to prepare around IDR 5,000–10,000 for parking. Sunset is the best time to visit.

For a nature escape, check out hidden green areas around Rumbai. Transportation by motorcycle is a good option, with fuel costs around IDR 10,000–20,000 depending on your starting point. Most nature spots are free or have small entrance fees.
