Fantastic countryside walking tour - An excellent walking tour. Wahyu picked us up from our hotel in Yogyakarta and brought us to a village at the foot of Mt Merapi. There we met up with a local guide, Pak Yanto, who guided us through the forest and countryside surrounding the village. Peaceful forest, excellent views of Mt Merapi, and both Pak Yanto and Wahyu are very friendly and knowledgeable about the countryside and history of the village and volcano. Saw a chameleon too – awesome. Topped off with local tea and snacks in Pak Yanto’s lovely home. Terima kasih!

Exciting jeep ride at Mt Merapi - We enjoyed a walk around Sultan Palace and Taman Sari (they were closed on polling day on 14Feb), admiring the traditional Javanese architecture. Then we headed to Mt Merapi for an exciting jeep ride and short hike. Our guide, Wahyu, was very knowledgeable, his sharing of the last volcano eruption made our visit meaningful. He brought us to a place for sumptious local food that is pocket-friendly. The banana fritters were delicious and not to be missed. We enjoyed durians on our way back. Wonderful trip, beautiful memories and fantastic guide! Thank you, Wahyu!

Walk at the foot of Merapi - If you are looking for a quiet, authentic walk 1 hour drive from Yogyakarta, Wahyu will take you to a very friendly guide who will introduce you to local plants. Unfortunately the heavy rains did not allow us to finish the 2 hour trek. But the atmosphere and the beauty of the site was there. To do again.
