The longest hanging bridge in Southeast Asia
What to see in Rengganis Suspension Bridge
As the longest suspended bridge in Southeast Asia, the Rengganis Suspension Bridge stretches an impressive 370 meters across a stunning valley, being suspended 75 meters above the lush forest floor. This makes it an extraordinary marvel of engineering, seamlessly blending into the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds it.
As you traverse the bridge, you'll be able to experience the panoramic views of the beautiful dense jungle but also, a top view from the thermal pools and rejuvenating mud baths that are scattered across this volcanic terrain, which are easily reached through the small trail that is located on the other side of the bridge. These are the otherworldly volcanic landscapes of Kawah Rengganis.
As the day draws to a close, the mist often envelops the valley, and the Rengganis Suspension Bridge comes alive with a soft LED illumination, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere. Walking across the bridge at this time feels like stepping into the clouds. This enchanting setting makes the Rengganis Suspension Bridge a must-visit destination, especially for photography enthusiasts seeking that perfect shot or those who wish to lose themselves in the serenity of nature.
