Goa Selarong: Prince Diponegoro's Hideout in Bantul
Hidden in Bantul's hills lies a cave that witnessed the start of one of Java's greatest colonial-era resistances.
Things to Do in Bantul
Up in Bantul's Dlingo hills the mood shifts completely from the coast: towering pine forests, a fruit garden with above-the-clouds views, and cool air that offers an escape from the city heat. Spots like Mangunan, Pengger, and Becici are most enchanting in the misty morning. To enjoy them at a relaxed pace with an overnight stay, this area fits nicely into a 3 days 2 nights Yogyakarta tour that leaves room to explore unhurried.
