Merapi Lava Tour Jogja & Selogriyo Rice Terrace Walk

Start with an off-road jeep adventure on Merapi's volcanic slopes, then trek through the spectacular Selogriyo rice terraces — lush, quiet, and completely off the tourist trail. This private day tour from Yogyakarta combines an off-road Jeep adventure on the slopes of Mount Merapi with a scenic countryside walk through the lush rice fields surrounding Selogriyo Temple — a hidden 9th-century Hindu sanctuary nestled on the hillsides. Ideal for nature lovers, cultural explorers, and anyone looking to connect with the serene side of Java.

⏳ Timing Advice

We usually recommend a 07.00 AM departure from your hotel to enjoy the best views of Mount Merapi’s peak. But the schedule is flexible — leaving at 09.00 AM will allow you to explore Prambanan Temple later in the afternoon, when it’s cooler and more comfortable.

📌 Additional Notes

The walk to Selogriyo Temple takes approx. 30–45 minutes each way through rice terraces and small village paths. Moderate physical condition is required.
