There is so many famous attraction in gunung kidul, yogyakarta. I went there with my housemate using motorcycle. We plan to visit 9-10 places, but because of the far distance from each places, we only visit 5 places in gunung kidul, of course in one day.
1. Ancient Volcano Nglanggeran
Welcome to the ancient volcano nglanggeran
We can do the tracking or hiking inside, I think you should use the appropiate dress, so that you can climb until the highest spot in this mountain. Cause I didn't wear the appropiate dress, I didn't climb to the mountain top. Oh yah, you must buy the ticket for IDR 6.000, to climb this mountain.
The starting point.
you can choose the route options with this wood plank..., which way do you want to go ?
There are so many large rocks in this mountain. Check it out...
The roads were difficult in this mountain ( if you wear dress of course... T_T )
One of the biggest rock ....
you use these tires to climb the rock.
On the rock...you can see behind me, this mountain is consisted of many large rocks.
Panoramic from my point of view.
Only the two of us, includes me that decided to climb to the more high spot.
The tracks were difficult, without equipments we can't continue the tracking.
wood stairs
the road was small, but I can still fit it.
at least...more high spots....but for your information, this is not even the post 1 in this mountain.
After come to this spot, we decided to come down, because there is many place that we want to visit today. Let's go to the next place.
2. Sri Getuk Waterfall
To reach the waterfall, we need to walk around 15 minutes, or you can use the boat in the river.
We decided to walk.
the stone staircase.
here is the waterfall.
Ah, be careful with your step there, the rocks were slippery.
More waterfall...
After play around in the waterfall for one hour, we decided to leave to go to the next place.
3. Rancang Kencono Cave
The cave's name come from the practical use of the cave. Because the cave is used for strategic planning for mataram troops, that's way the name is Rancang Kencono. (Strategic Planning in Indonesia).
at the entrance of the cave, you must go down the stairs.
near the big tree~
near the mouth cave
inside the cave, the guide said, this where the troops gather for strategic planning.
With other tourists who visit the cave.
outside the cave, you can find the unique rocks...( I don't know the name though)
next site...
4. Ngobaran Beach
Before I go to some place , usually I'll plan the list of places and the route map. Of course, I'll ask "mbah google"... (xi...xi...xi...). And Ngobaran beach is in the top place of the beach that I want to visit in gunung kidul. Why ? why don't you check it yourself below...
the temple beside the beach feels like bali.
one step before edge of the cliff.
edge of cliff, be careful when you walk on it.
Oh, there is stone staircase on the right of the hill so you can get down
and you climb the stairs again into another cliff
stone staircase end here
there is two parts in ngobaran beach, one is full of stone and cliff.
and the other is.....
you can only play water on the seaside, mustn't play too far. it's always forbidden to swim at southern beach in Yogyakarta.
5. Indrayanti Beach
Actually the name of this place is not Indrayanti, it's Tulang Syawal Beach. Indrayanti is the infamous restaurant on the seaside. so do not be confused.
sitting on the seaside
the beach.... oh you can try the indrayanti restaurant, the food is really delicious. too bad I didn't take the picture.
He...he...he...with this our trip in yogyakarta is done, my work were done too here.
