The key to a stress-free travel in Yogyakarta is enjoying every moment. Don’t feel pressured to visit every place on your list. Sometimes, simply sitting on the side of the road, enjoying coffee or tea, chatting with locals, or simply observing life on the streets can be the most memorable and fulfilling experience. To maximize your memorable trip, plan your trip with us, along with our reliable and experienced team.
My advice when visiting Yogyakarta is to also visit the villages in Bantul. You’ll see how they live their daily lives, farming and other activities to support their families. You can also stay at a homestay in the village, so you can observe and participate directly in the activities of the villagers.
Some examples of activities include:
1. Bike tour in the village. Visiting local people making tempe , tofu or planting rice in the fields or other local activities.
2. Walk around the countryside. You will learn and see many herbal plants or plants that do not exist in your country.
3. Visit the turtle and pandanus conservation area in Bantul. You will learn a lot about the preservation of turtles in the natural ecosystem and indirectly you will also play a role in preservation.
4. Learn to cook in a local’s home. One of Yogyakarta’s main attractions is culinary delights. So, don’t miss out on gudeg, sate klatak, sayur lodeh, and ingkung ayam kampung (free-range chicken stew). You can also cook your own traditional dishes with the help of locals.
5. Learn Javanese gamelan.
6. Watch a local arts performance. Sometimes there are art performances in the form of shadow puppets or Javanese dances. So don’t miss this opportunity.
Yogyakarta is a city that offers peace, beauty, and delicious cuisine. With wise planning and a relaxed attitude, you’re sure to return home with fond memories and renewed enthusiasm, you will be stress free travel in Yogyakarta. Enjoy your trip to Jogja.
