Extend the green rice fields. Hundreds barked tree with hanging fruit, ready to be picked. Fresh breeze and the splashing water of the river hit the senses. The sound of gong is hit with a harmonious welcome our arrival at the Tourism Village Kembang Arum, Turi, Sleman. This is a welcome expression of typical Arum Flower Tourist Village.
A village that has a wonderful natural panorama. In addition to the green fields that stretched, this village has a river that ran with large stones, bark-strewn garden and a friendly population. This tourist village was deliberately designed for visitors who are saturated with urban atmosphere of a hot and dusty. Here I was treated to the aroma of traditional rural people are becoming obsolete.
To find this village is not too difficult. I was walking the streets in the direction Turi, leading to the village Donokerto and nampaklah a sign posted on the roadside, "Welcome to the Tourism Village Pratista Arum Flower."
Entering the Tourism Village Kembang Arum, I crossed the street the width of one sedan car. Very beautiful, decorated with various plants on the edges and gardens and kokosan barking behind a fence. The leaves of trees shade the streets kokosan it, like an umbrella for pedestrians or riders, past houses that lined up neat and clean.
Place the first stop is a building that is named Houses Art Arum Laris. In this building, we can learn about gamelan. A resident, still with a traditional Javanese clothes introduce various names gamelan instruments. Me and my entourage treking along the riverbanks, past the cobbled streets overgrown with grass leading to the gazebo, a spacious area where children can play.
In the course of treking, we also had stopped at a spot that is decorated like a parlor and karaoke. Hery Kustriyatmo, manager of Tourism Village Kembang Arum revealed, karaoke parlors and deliberately built a la the village, with a roof of woven bamboo. Seating for a haircut was made like a cow for the children feel different from salons in the city.
Arrive at the gazebo, game jathilan directly held. For those who missed the lesson braid chose to ride stilts guide who also guided the villagers. Or play archery boar, which of course is not a real pig, but cork is drawn into wild boar.
Not only that. visitors were allowed to paint on canvas that had been prepared, see the manufacture of woven mats, and follow with a pestle to pound rice. This last activity was exhibited by the old women villagers. I really want to try to plow fields, but apparently have to resist the urge, because the boys are also visitors scrambling up the plow and walked around the field with exhilaration.
It was late morning when the boys with clothes covered in mud from playing in the fields begin to clean themselves in the well. I chose to sit on the couch sipping blank panorama spoil the eye. I rest content with a glass of hot tea and fried.
Dimas, one of the manager of Tourism Village and then take me down to the river of clear water. With bare feet and pants that lift up to reach my knees, I hit a river. The water is clear, very fresh. Several times I almost slipped because of the slippery stones.
Dimas also showed some caves that are found in the vicinity of the river and several meeting places in the river several times made people seek knowledge. The atmosphere is quite magical feel in the stream.

Hery also mentioned, for the future, Tourism Village Kembang Arum will be coupled with natural spa facilities. Visitors can enjoy the spa facilities in the open air fresh.
I take a trip this time was closed for lunch a la traditional, savory rice with side dishes of banana leaf ditakir-anointing ointment, fried tempeh, boiled eggs and anchovies dent delights. For by-the work friends, I also carry a basket of bark are sold citizens and two bags kokosan crackle. Leaving the Tourist Village Kembang Arum like getting out of the oasis resort and return to the bustle of the city of Jogja ... again.
