Adventurous tours in Sleman regency<\/p>\n
Sleman, one of the regencies of Yogyakarta Province, is famous
\nfor its scenic beauty, unique traditions and friendly people.<\/p>\n
One of its natural attractions is Mount Merapi. One of the
\nworld's most active volcanos and located 2,968 meters above sea
\nlevel, Merapi's peak is continuously covered with clouds.
\nShrouded in mist, its mystique invites the bold and adventurous
\nto uncover its hidden secrets.<\/p>\n
Exploring Merapi's beauty can be done by individual or group
\nclimbers assisted by local guides available as part of trekking
\ntour packages. These trekking tours are prepared for tourists to
\nclosely view the volcano's activities at safe spots and times.<\/p>\n
Two routes for climbing are available. The first is via
\nKinahrejo village, which is located some two kilometers from the
\nKaliurang mountain resort. From this village the distance to
\nMerapi is nine kilometers and takes about 10 hours to reach. The
\nsecond route, which is comparatively shorter, is from Selo
\nvillage in Boyolali regency, Central Java.<\/p>\n
During your climb up the mountain you can enjoy the following:<\/p>\n
* The glowing red lava flowing down from the mountain top
\n* The beautiful countryside, comprising traditional villages
\nwith panoramic paddy fields and lush, exotic, tropical forests
\n* The unique flora and fauna, including colorful birds, and, if
\nyou are lucky, the giant Javanese eagle.<\/p>\n
