Tlatar travel guide

Getting there

By bus From Yogyakarta, take a TransJogja bus to the Jombor terminal. Then take a bus heading towards Magelang. Alight at the Blabak market in the town of Mungkid. Walk southward along the main road. Ask the locals for directions to the "bus station", which is located only a few hundred metres south of the Blabak market on the opposite side of the main road. The "bus station" is actually a waiting place for angkots (minibuses). Take an angkot to Tlatar, 15km away (Rp 3; 000). Note: In Indonesia, a "bus station" can easily mean a place to board a bus, without an actual building or structure.

Getting around

There are ojeks (motorcycle taxis) to take one around.

Go next

Ketep Pass, a pass located in the slope between Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu that offers a great vantage point for a spectacular view of both mountains. Kedung Kayang waterfall, a few kilometres away from Ketep Pass. Take an ojek to get there. Selo, a village from which to start the climb up Mount Merapi. Yogyakarta
