Experience the Breathtaking Merapi Sunrise on a Climbing Adventure with Halal Snacks
Merapi trekking offers an unforgettable experience for those who have ever dreamt of climbing an active volcano. While Yogyakarta is renowned as the cultural hub of Indonesia, it is often overlooked for its stunning natural beauty and vast landscapes. Mount Merapi, with its impressive size and dense vegetation resulting from the rich, fertile ground created by its lava, is a prime example. This magnificent volcano has erupted numerous times, cementing its status as a legendary force of nature in Central Java. Local legends and stories about Merapi's spirit and past eruptions, as well as the ongoing interest of volcanologists, only add to its allure.
Our tour begins with a hotel pick-up service around 10:00 pm, after which we drive to Selo Village located on the northern side of the volcano. Following the necessary preparations, we begin the six-hour trek to the volcano's peak, where we will witness the first rays of sunrise breaking the horizon. After taking in the breathtaking views, we will make our descent, admiring the city of Yogyakarta to the south and the Merbabu volcano to the east. A brief rest at Pasar Bubar offers an opportunity to soak in the surroundings before climbing down to Selo.
In the afternoon, a vehicle will be waiting for us in Selo to transport us back to Yogyakarta, concluding a truly remarkable experience.
