Merapi Lava tour

Mount Merapi, Gunung Merapi (literally Fire Mountain in Indonesian and Javanese), is an active strato volcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. It is located approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of Yogyakarta city which has a population of 2.4 million, and thousands of people live on the flanks of the volcano, with villages as high as 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) above sea level.

Merapi volcano location is about 28km from jogjakarta center. Last big eruption at 2010, and the period mostly every 4 years. But last eruption is change the shape of crater (crater broken) so the prediction is more than 15 years to close and than eruption again.

By the way the attraction here is lava tour, you will bring by jeep to the museum (the collection is anything we can find after 2010 eruption), and than Batu Alian (alian : mean moving) this BIG rock is moved from the crater to the now position (±10km) and the rock have a "sad man face", last you will go to bunker area, this bunker built before 2006(at 2005) the function is to keep save the officer in charge there. but at the 2006 eruption 2 people is trapped inside the bunker and then this bunker is never used again. Now we put camera (cctv) to monitor the crater activity (it's more save than put officer there).

At the bunker area you will see jogjakarta city from the top, also green forest at the other side, if you lucky you also can see the haze (smoke) at the crater.

So don't forget to put merapi on your schedule.
