Glide for Thrills @ Timang 🚠

Timang Beach is a breathtaking gem on the famed for its thrilling “gondola” ride and made famous by its feature on Korean variety show Running Man. Despite the 2 hour journey from Yogyakarta, I still wanted to see and experience for myself this “gondola”. To get there, I hired a private vehicle to take me to the town of Purwodadi, where I then transferred to a jeep to take me for the last 5km to Timang Beach. The jeep transfer is required due to the super bumpy and steep slopes leading to the beach (actually cliff). Once there, I was awestruck by the “gondola”. Suspended high above the roaring waves, it offered a heart-pounding journey to the rugged Pulau Timang, where I was told that lobster fishermen fish for lobsters. There were 2 options to cross over to Pulau Timang - take a round trip gondola for IDR 200k or a round trip suspension bridge walk for IDR 150k. I was told that if you wanted to take the gondola one way and walk back on the suspension bridge, it would cost IDR 350k as it was “managed by 2 different companies”. Being conscious of my wallet, I opted to just do a round trip on the Gondola. Gliding across the azure waters, the panoramic views of the coastline and crashing waves below was simply mesmerizing. It was a short 10 to 15 seconds trip but The adrenaline rush was palpable. This exhilarating experience was well worth the time and money! Once on Pulau Timang, I was rewarded with stunning vistas of the sea stretching to the horizon. This marked the perfect end to my expedition to Timang Beach! #winhkflight #winhkflight To me, Hong Kong is a city that has so much to offer - culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to go sneaker shopping in Mongkok, take the iconic Peak Tram, go visit the laid back Cheung Chau Island and...so much more!
