Imogiri Royal Cemetery: History, Tickets, and Rules
Atop a hill, hundreds of steps lead pilgrims to the graves of kings who shaped modern Javanese history.
Things to Do in Bantul
Bantul's cultural heritage feels alive and is still practiced by its people. Wukirsari Tourism Village — the center of Giriloyo batik and wayang kulit craft — was named one of the world's best tourism villages, while the Imogiri royal cemetery holds Mataram's history atop Bukit Merak. Culture like this is best enjoyed at a calm pace, for instance through a heritage-themed 3 days 2 nights Yogyakarta tour, or a Yogyakarta tour mixed to your interests.
