| MOUNT MERAPI |
Mount Merapi is situated north of Yogyakarta with a height of 2,920 meters. From a distance, you can always see white smoke emerging from the top, amid the moving clouds in the deep blue sky. The top can be observed from the western slope, Turi village, about 15 kilometers from Yogyakarta. For a better view, visit Plawangan, the observatory resort, by walking up a path way from Kaliurang for about an hour. |
|
| KALIURANG Kaliurang, a popular mountain resort some 24 kilometers north of Yogyakarta. The sleepy green valleys and the lazy hills provide a nice setting for the youth to go camping or mountain climbing. Sometimes, especially at night, one can see a spectacular sight of lava coming down the mountain. Various tourist facilities are available, like restaurants, hotels, tennis courts, swimming pools, parks, and a camping ground. |
