Tulungagung, Administrative region in East Java, Indonesia
Description
Tulungagung is a regency on Java that stretches across mountains, lowlands and river valleys. The landscape shifts between green slopes, rice paddies and urban centers linked by a network of local roads.
History
A stone monument from 1205 marked the founding of this administrative unit under Javanese rule. Later the region became part of the Majapahit empire, whose traces still appear in old temples and tombs.
Culture
The name comes from the legend of a rebellious nobleman called Kyai Tunggul Wulung, whose story remains alive in local tradition. Visitors find temples, markets and workshops that show how craft and religious practice continue to shape daily life.
Practical
Most places lie along main roads that run from the coast into the interior. Travelers should prepare for tropical weather and allow time for longer drives over hilly sections.
