Surrounded by volcanoes – Mount Butak to the west, Mount Arjuna to the north, and Mounts Kepolo and Bromo to the east – Malang is one of the most beautifully situated cities in Java.
During the colonial period it was a small quaint town where Dutch Planters and civil servants could escape the heat of the lowlands. The elegant villas are still in evidence and it is a pleasant town to walk around as the people are friendly and the climate is a little cooler
