This could be the perfect place for paragliding in Java. The transportation is very easy between take-off and landing, lots of hotel and inn, lots of warung and restaurant, lots of friendly-bilingual pilots...:P

Tourism  :
Batu is a tourism city, so there are numerous hotels and objects nearby.
From bed and breakfast to 5 star hotels is available here and only 15mnts from take-off area. Apple plantation, orchids, hot-springs, amusement park, swimming-pools, night life, and fresh-milk is a few example that Batu can offer. Mt. Bromo, Mt. Semeru, Mt. Arjuno, Mt. Welirang, and Mt. Panderman are mountains that surrounding this city. Me personally could arrange trips for you pilots, from backpackers to fancy ones.
