Blitar

Blitar is an administrative regency in East Java consisting of multiple districts and villages spread across a rural landscape. The region is primarily agricultural, with Kanigoro town serving as its administrative center.

The regency was established during the reign of the Majapahit Empire, giving it deep historical roots in Java's past. This ancient foundation shaped how the region developed over centuries.

The area has temples that show the spiritual beliefs of its people. These sacred buildings remain central to how locals observe their traditions and mark important moments in their lives.

The regency is accessible by road, and getting around is easiest with your own transportation to explore the scattered villages at your own pace. Most places are not far from each other, making it possible to visit several spots in one day.

Despite being primarily an inland agricultural area, the regency has access to several beaches along its coastal edges. This coastal access provides a different side to the region that many travelers overlook.
