Visiting Coban Rais Waterfall and Park Batu East Java Indonesia is better to be done during the dry season especially if you want to trek to the waterfall. Why? Because the road is slippery and you have to pass some small rivers. On rainy season, the road is more muddy and slippery especially for beginner trackers like me, it is really challenging. Really need to be more careful while walking on the narrow pathways and between the shrubs.
