Wendit, Water park and recreational area in Mangliawan, Indonesia.
Wendit is a recreational water park in Mangliawan with multiple pools, natural springs, and forested grounds. The property features areas for swimming and relaxation set within a landscape inhabited by long-tailed macaques.
Wendit's spring, known as Sumber Air Mbah Kabul, is fed by water seeping from Mount Bromo's Widodaren spring. Tengger communities collect this water, carrying it home for healing and health in the same way they use water from Pulau Sempu. The park also holds a monument to a MiG-19 that was once based at Abdul Rachman Saleh airfield, and the spring supplies part of PDAM Kota Malang's water.
Every Syawal, from the 1st to the 11th of the month, the park fills with visitors celebrating Lebaran through Ketupat Lebaran, with music stages and invited artists from the capital. Bathers also come for the spring called Sumber Air Mbah Kabul, whose water is held to keep the face youthful; Tengger people carry it home for healing, comparing it to Air Widodaren seeping from Gunung Bromo.
Wendit lies about 7 km from central Malang, on the right side of the main road toward Mount Bromo via Tumpang. The grounds hold both natural and artificial pools, a wave pool, a current pool, a waterboom and a floating restaurant, so allow several hours. The tame monkeys roam the small forest freely; keep food and bags closed.
The Tengger people collect water from Mbah Kabul spring to take home, believing it brings healing and health, like the Widodaren water of Mount Bromo that seeps toward Wendit. Bathers also hold that swimming in the pools keeps the face looking youthful. A MiG-19 aircraft monument stands in the park, a relic of Abdul Rachman Saleh airbase.
