Experience Java’s Mt Merapi through a local’s perspective. Travel to the slopes of the volcano and join a family for an immersive evening, learning about what life is like living near the active volcano. Savour a delicious home-hosted dinner then visit a special viewpoint to admire the volcano’s lava slides.
Early this evening transfer by private, air-conditioned vehicle with guide and driver to Turgo Village, located on the slopes of Mount Merapi north of Yogyakarta. (The transfer will take around 1 hour from Yogyakarta)
Arriving just after sunset, meet with the local host family: Pak Yanto and his spouse Ibu Nunik. Their family was among those who survived the 1994 eruption of Mount Merapi that destroyed the settlement due to hot ash clouds gliding down. Join Pak Yanto for a walk around their traditional wooden home, learning about their life and the impact of the volcano.
Then sit down for a special dinner. Ibu Nunik will prepare a selection of Javanese dishes in the kitchen, using traditional techniques and recipes.
Enjoy the fresh cooked meal while chatting with the family, learning more about their lives and culture.
Following dinner, bid farewell to the hosts and continue through the night to a special viewing post to admire Mount Merapi from afar. If the conditions are right, it is possible to see the glowing lava slide from the crater down the slopes, a unique opportunity rarely enjoyed by tourists.
Then, transfer back to theYogyakarta hotel, arriving around 22:00. (D)
