Discover hidden Java: trek lush rice terraces to the serene 8th-century Selogriyo Temple on Mount Sumbing, then feel the mist of Kedung Kayang,40m waterfall between Merapi & Merbabu. Nature, history.

Kedung Kayang Waterfall
Kedung Kayang is a 40-meter waterfall located between Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu in Magelang, Central Java. The name means “waterfall in the sky” because the mist often creates rainbows. Surrounded by lush forest and rice fields, the waterfall drops into a deep pool with cool, fresh air. It’s a popular spot for nature lovers, photography, and short treks. The best time to visit is during the rainy season when the water flow is strongest.

Selogriyo Temple Rice Terraces
Selogriyo Temple is a small 8th-century Hindu temple hidden on the eastern slope of Mount Sumbing. To reach it, you’ll trek ∼2 km through stunning, layered rice terraces with views of mountains and valleys. The temple itself is simple but peaceful, with stone carvings of Durga, Ganesha, and Agastya. The surrounding terraced fields are still farmed by locals, creating a green, misty landscape that feels untouched. Perfect for quiet walks and cultural trips away from crowds.
