Exploring Yogyakarta Traditional Market

  Exploring Yogyakarta Traditional Market Whenever I get a guest who wants to find unique things around the city and not so common touristy, I always take them to the traditional market.  The traditional market is not a common place for tourists, there are many people selling and buying, the conditions are usually hot, the lighting is poor and sometimes even some corners are dirty.  but there they find their own uniqueness because they will taste some unique regional specialties.  One time I had Spanish guests, and they were interested in joining me on a tour to see the situation of the traditional market.  For one thing, they wanted to try Yu Djum's gudeg rice and Mbah Satinem's legendary Lupis cake, and I know where to find her.  So I took them to try it all, she sells on the side of the road, in the middle of crowded vehicles, but they really enjoy the uniqueness of it.  For them it was a great experience, because they had seen one of the street food episodes on the Netflix

Selogriyo Temple Trekking

Trekking Temple Selogriyo We went with the knowledge that the temple was closed for renovations, but really we want to see the rice terrace more than the temple.      From the carpark area, you walk through a stretch of locals' residences which offer nice photo opportunities themselves. There is an entrance fee (Rp. 25,000) at the start of the trail. A short walk later you reach a bend which extends your view to the curved rice terraces below. We did not encounter any other visitors or tourists at this attraction, until near the end of our walk, during our walk we met band of buffalos and a guy who trained the racing pigeons, even some of us releasing the male pigeon.      Selogriyo Temple Trekking can be classified as an easy-medium hike (soft trekking category). Escorted by myself, walk through terraced rice paddies and lush fruit plantations, enjoying the quiet sounds of the countryside. Venture through small communities nestled amid the verdant hills.
