The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Yogyakarta, Java
Yogyakarta boasts stunning architecture and a truly spiritual sensibility. The ancient Hindu temples of Prambanan look like hand-drizzled sand castles, while the Sultan's palace is reminiscent of a gilded music box filled with jewels. Known for its arts and handicrafts, Yogyakarta is a cultural hub, a nerve center for traditional and modern puppetry.

We took the 90 minute mini Jeep Tour to Merapi - a little apprehensive about the rainclouds that obscured the sky through most of the day. The brightly coloured old red Jeep with a young man at the wheel bumped across the route - which was mostly paved , slowed by oncoming truck traffic carrying volcanic ash away for construction. We stopped at a village which had been damaged by the lava in the 2010 eruption - preserved complete with skeletons of cattle, burnt motorcycles and home appliances, a volcanic rock that was shaped like a face and appropriately called The Alien, and finally at the last lookout point 4.5 kms from the imposing volcano. The rain clouds cleared after a drizzle and the volcano was clearly visible - smoking ominously. An eerie and imposing sight on a dull drizzly day. The route is dusty so make sure you use the dust cover or take care especially if you are asthmatic or allergic. A very enjoyable drive with a fascinating view. Well worth the price of ₹1750 (Rp 350000) for 2.

Din expect there is 300m muddy, slippery, rocky and dark hike. And I brought my 7yo boy with me! Whole hike is tough and hard, but it is so worthy! We made it to the end and come back! Its beautiful! And u will see the light only when u are lucky enough! Worth a try, remember to wear slippers, sport attire and prepare a head torch if you may, It is really useful. Extra clothes and pants too, u will need it after the hike.

It seemed that it was popular in locals. There were snack bars inside and you can stay until night for the view.

Enjoy the view of this place. You got two choice to go to the island, by gondola or by a small bridge. After that, have a taste of local lobster cuisine. Delicious.
