Kaliurang Halal Travel Guide

Kaliurang, when Mount Merapi is not erupting and making this town a prohibited zone, is the equivalent of a Hill station or Hills retreat where in colonial times, wealthy residents of Yogyakarta or Surakarta would have holiday or weekend homes here.Also the local rulers would have had their residences in the cooler air on the southern side of the volcano.

In the 1960s and 1970s, when southern eruptions were not a regular occurrence at all, a number of the places to stay developed legendary status. Vogels was the place to stay, and regular updates of Bill Moon's Indonesia Handbook would have details of the southern approach to the night walks to the peak of the Volcano.

The 1990s and 2000s south flowing eruptions and gasses have tended to make a significant dent in the liveability and general access to Kaliurang.

It is advisable to investigate the condition of the volcano, and general accessibility of the town.

When the eruptions were not spewing southwards, it was also the location of one of the 4 or 5 observation posts of the Volcanological survey. The post is named after the hill, Plawangan - and when there is clear air, and no euptive gases heading south, a very good view of the southern slopes of the volano are feasible from the Plawangan hill.Another hill just west of Plawangan is Turgo, where a mysticall and significant islamic saint is buried.

Trekking around the base of Mount Merapi

Tlogo Nirmolo and Tlogo Muncar are two forest areas located at the south base of Mount Merapi, north of the Kaliurang village. There are some interesting and not too tough treckins you can do there.

Indications inside the treckings are quite good and you can't get lost, also you can use the offline maps like Maps.me or OSMAnd for better guide yourself in the treckings.

Tlogo Nirmolo

This forest includes the visit of many Japanese caves (Goa Jepang) constructed during the second world war to be used by the japanese army to protect from the allies attacks. There are a dozen of those not profound (10m max) caves and there is a man that can rent you some lightorch (although using your phone's torch would is enough). It takes 30min trecking to the caves from the entrance.

Also a much steep treck to the summit of the Plawangan hill is available(ask the entrance gard if the visibility is good). (40min).

Tlogo Muncar

This park is more visited by families and indonesian couples since it includes a quite magnificient waterfall called Muncar, after raining the waterfall is more interesting since it can bring lots of water.
