Description:

Enjoy a take a breaked and easy-to-follow bike tour of Yogyakarta’s countryside. Along your journey admire the stunning sites and natural landscapes ranging from active volcanoes and picturesque villages to rice paddy fields and centuries-old temples.

An early start means you have the opportunity to admire the sunrise from the comfort of your seat in a private vehicle. Head toward the Mount Merapi (also known as Gunung Merapi) and take in the breathtaking vistas from a quiet village before starting your 9.3-mile (15-km) bike ride.

With Gunung Merapi as your backdrop your cycling adventure begins. Pedal through dozens of ravines—a palpable remainder of the lava’s path—as well as rice paddy fields, tobacco and snake fruit plantations, and long shadows of the charming sun. See how the local residents engage in daily agricultural tasks and learn from your guide about the growing and harvesting process.

Next you say goodbye to your bicycle and stop for a well-deserved lunch. Soon after you drive to the immense Prambanan complex, wander around the many temples dating back to the 9th century. Listen as your guide narrates the popular beliefs of the purpose of the complex and the reconstruction work carried out in the 1930s.
