Discover Nglanggeran’s Unique Attractions
Chasing Sunrise at the Ancient Volcano’s Peak
Who says sunrise can only be enjoyed at the beach? Nglanggeran’s ancient volcano, Gunung Api Purba, standing at 700 meters above sea level, provides a mesmerizing sunrise view. A 50-60 minute hike will take you to the western peak, also known as Gunung Gedhe. While camping on the summit is a no-go, a nearby camping ground allows you to pitch a tent for just Rp20,000 per person. Don’t have your own tent? No worries – you can rent one on-site.
Embung Nglanggeran: A Scenic Man-Made Lake
Nglanggeran’s prized possession, Embung (artificial lake), sits atop the hill locals fondly call Gunung Gandu. Fed by a natural spring from the slopes of Gunung Api Purba, this mini reservoir prohibits swimming or fishing. What sets Embung Nglanggeran apart is its stunning panoramic views, perfect for capturing both sunrise and sunset.
Chocolate Souvenirs at Griya Cokelat
No trip is complete without bringing back some local treats! Nglanggeran boasts Griya Cokelat, a chocolate-themed souvenir center offering a range of products from local Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (UMKM). From the chocolate sourced from local farms to the process of making chocolate treats, Griya Cokelat provides a delightful experience for your taste buds.
Educational Adventure at the Dairy Farm
Nglanggeran’s Etawa Goat Farm has gained international recognition. Explore the entire milk processing journey, from milking to packaging, and even try your hand at milking the goats. The farm also offers tastings of Etawa goat milk, known for its health benefits like aiding digestion and lowering cholesterol levels.
