Hidden Waterfall & Selogriyo Rice Terraces Trek de Yogyakarta
Description
Si vous êtes une personne active à la recherche de choses alternatives à faire autour de Yogyakarta, cette visite est juste pour vous. La cascade de Kedung Kayang et les rizières en terrasses de Selogriyo sont toutes deux magnifiques mais souvent surplombées par les voyageurs. Le nom eux-mêmes ne sont pas aussi familiers aux voyageurs que Borobudur ou Prambanan. Bien que l'exploration du temple soit l'un des points forts à Java, prendre quelques heures de route pour trouver ces joyaux cachés est également très recommandé et en vaut la peine. Kedungkayang et Selogriyo vous offrent tous deux le paysage et la sérénité. Mais plus que cela, ils vous offrent la chance de vivre des rencontres mémorables avec les populations et les traditions locales. Faire une promenade à travers une vaste étendue de rizières en terrasses et rencontrer des agriculteurs sur votre chemin sont tout pour vous qui êtes dans un voyage aventureux avec une touche de valeurs locales

Itinéraire
Si vous cherchez des alternatives à visiter lorsque vous êtes à Yogyakarta ou autour de Magelang, la cascade de Kedung Kayang est à ne pas manquer. Cette cascade est située dans le parc national du Mont Merapi. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie? Cela signifie que vous pouvez profiter d’une belle vue sur cette cascade avec le mont Merapi en arrière-plan. Après une heure et demie de route depuis Yogyakarta, nous arriverons à l'entrée de la cascade de Kedung Kayang. Le panneau à l'entrée vous indique que vous pouvez monter ou descendre. L’avantage de cette cascade est que vous pouvez profiter de la vue sous différents angles. Vous pouvez choisir de monter les escaliers pour voir les environs du haut d'un arbre avec la cascade en dessous de vous, ou de descendre les escaliers pour profiter de la cascade juste en face. Et quoi de mieux ? Vous pouvez faire les deux ! - le trajet depuis l'hôtel jusqu'à l'application de la cascade de Kedung Kayang. 1,5 heures.
Depuis le parking, notre chauffeur vous guidera à travers une partie des habitations locales où vous pourrez avoir un aperçu de la vie quotidienne des agriculteurs. Il vous conduira ensuite au guichet d'entrée au départ du sentier où vous pourrez acheter un billet. Une courte marche plus tard, vous atteindrez un point qui étend votre vue jusqu'aux rizières en terrasses en contrebas. Vous pouvez descendre vous-même les rizières en terrasses, profiter de la vue, prendre des photos, observer de plus près les labours des buffles si vous avez de la chance, ou encore discuter avec les agriculteurs. Ils sont extrêmement sympathiques ! La randonnée de 2 km jusqu'au temple n'est pas difficile. Il y a des pentes ici et là mais pas raides. Nous vous suggérons de vous équiper du matériel nécessaire car le lieu est assez exposé au soleil. Le temple est petit mais bien entretenu. Vous pouvez prendre le temps d'apprécier le paysage avant de redescendre. Vous emprunterez un itinéraire différent pour revenir à l'entrée, mais avec une vue similaire à couper le souffle sur les rizières en terrasses s'étendant jusqu'à l'horizon scintillant sous le soleil.

We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Wayo our guide was funny and cheerful and took very good care of us. The rice fields were beautiful and we loved the waterfall. I would recommend that you bring waterproof sandals because the last part to the waterfall was a bit of a clamber over rocks and wading through the stream. But very much worth it, we highly recommend this tour and this guide.
Thank you so much, Marije! We’re really happy to hear that you had such a wonderful experience on the waterfall and rice terraces tour. It’s great to know that Wayo made the trip fun and took good care of you throughout the day. We also truly appreciate your helpful tip about bringing waterproof sandals, that will definitely be useful for future travelers! Thank you for your recommendation, it means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure in the future. 😊 Warm regards, Trans Marindo Tour
I booked this tour to enjoy some nature outside of Yogykarta City and really enjoyed it! My guide was Salma, who was very patient and professional. He also told me a lot about Yogyakarta and Indonesian culture during the car ride. The Kedung Kayang waterfall was so beautiful, and the Selogriyo rice terraces were so lush and green. The trip was truly worth it.
Hi Kelvin 😊 Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your nature day trip outside Yogyakarta. Kedung Kayang waterfall is indeed one of the most beautiful hidden gems near Yogyakarta, and the green scenery at Selogriyo Rice Terraces always gives a peaceful and refreshing feeling. We’re glad you felt it too! I will also pass your kind words to Salma. He will be very happy to know that you appreciated his patience and the cultural stories he shared during the journey. Thank you again for choosing us for your experience in Indonesia. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure someday! 🌿🙏 Warm regards, Trans Marindo Tour
If you are looking for a special experience, book here. We had such a lovely and relaxed time with our driver and tour guide Fajar from Trans Marindo Yogyakarta. He is so much fun to go with and his language skills are perfect. We first went to the hidden waterfall and continued to a local panoramic scenery near the volcanos. Additional plus was a great (real) coffee ☕️ while enjoying the view. Not a crowded place and since up high (1100m) pretty cool. Best day outside Yogyakarta ever. Thanks Fajar ❤️ you are the best. Ps: ask for Fajar as you driver if you love to talk and find out about local cultures and behinds. Anke and Eric (Germany/Canada).
Dear Anke and Eric, Thank you so much for your wonderful and heartfelt review. ❤️ We are truly happy to hear that you had such a lovely and relaxed day with Fajar. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed the hidden waterfall, the panoramic scenery near the volcanoes, and of course the real local coffee with a beautiful view. We are glad you appreciated the peaceful atmosphere away from the crowds, that is exactly the kind of special experience we aim to offer our guests. Your kind words about Fajar’s personality, language skills, and knowledge of local culture will surely make him very proud. We are lucky to have him on our team. Thank you again for choosing Trans Marindo Yogyakarta and for recommending us to other travelers. We hope to welcome you back one day for another unforgettable experience in Java. Warm regards, Trans Marindo Tour
I attended this trip with my group of friends, and we had Fajar as our tour guide. He was awesome and gave us a lot of insights on the long drives and also while we were walking, answering any questions we had to his best ability. He was a great photographer at the waterfall and the fields too! Not to mention his F1 level driving skills. The experience was amazing and I could not recommend it enough. We only saw one other group of tourists at the fields so it's definitely a lot less crowded than other areas. We were lucky and the sky was clear enough to see the volcano which was awesome. A few notes for anyone considering this experience that I wish we knew is; (1) it is quite physically demanding in terms of how much walking we did when at the fields and also to get to the waterfall at the bottom, and (2) definitely bring shoes that you can wear in the water if you want to see the waterfall at the bottom because you have to cross 2 streams/rivers to get to it (we did it bare feet and were fine but if you're nervous about those things then I recommend water shoes). It was also very culturally immersive in terms of walking on the small paths through the fields instead of on a path next to it. There was also a chance to buy some locally farmed coffee at the fields so make sure to bring some cash (we didn't try any but could be good for any coffee lovers). Overall, I 100% recommend this experience to anyone interested because there were some insane views that you don't want to miss.
Dear Maxine, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and wonderful review. We’re truly happy to hear that you and your friends had an amazing experience on the Hidden Waterfall & Selogriyo Rice Terraces Trek. We’re very proud of Fajar, and we will gladly pass on your kind words to him. Knowing that his insights, photography skills, and driving made your trip even more enjoyable means a lot to us. We also appreciate you sharing helpful tips for future travelers regarding the physical activity and footwear, this will be very useful for guests planning to join this experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, cultural immersion, and of course the incredible views, including the volcano on a clear day. Thank you once again for your strong recommendation. We hope to welcome you back in Yogyakarta for another adventure in the future. Warm regards, Trans Marindo Tour
What a fun day getting to adventure through the beautiful natural landscape of Jogjakarta!

We had an unforgettable day exploring the stunning rice terraces and a beautiful waterfall near Yogyakarta with our guide, Marman. His knowledge, kindness, and warm personality made the experience truly special. Marman not only shared fascinating insights about the local culture and traditions but also made sure everything was perfectly organized and comfortable for us. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy the natural beauty of the region without any stress. I highly recommend this tour and especially Marman if you want an authentic and memorable experience in Yogyakarta!

Marman is a great tour guide, careful and happy to help. English is good and you can discuss a variety of topics. The day was arranged by the travel agency, I traveled with another person who travelled alone, we talked a lot along the way, we were both happy to make this trip together
亲爱的Yuan Shao， 非常感谢您在Tripadvisor上给予我们的好评！我们很高兴听到您在Selogriyo梯田和隐藏瀑布的旅行中度过了愉快的时光。 导游Marman也很开心能够陪伴并协助您。希望未来还能再次欢迎您来到日惹，体验更多美好的旅程。 诚挚的问候， Trans Marindo Tour
We had nice trekking in the padi field. We also had grey experience to the waterfall. Our driver and guide, Mr Salma is a good and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Great way to see the country side and get away from the crowds. We did 4 miles or 6 km of walking. Our guide Marman was excellent. He has a great eye for taking pictures, and we never looked this great. He was very informative. Highly recommend this activity and the guide Marman
Thank you so much Rubin & Cindy for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the experience — starting with the scenic viewpoint overlooking the waterfall, followed by a peaceful trek along the river, and later walking through the beautiful terraced rice fields. We’re also happy to hear that you loved the photos — Marman always does his best to capture great memories! Wishing you both more amazing journeys ahead. Warm regards, Trans Marindo Team 🌿📷
Yeldhy was the driver today, and he had also been an outstanding guide as well answering many questions I had in mind. We visited the hidden water fall first with a good hike crossing two streams and then visited Selogriyo Temple and the nearby locally produced coffee shop. This was a good tour, a great opportunity to see the country side in Central Java.
Dear Robert, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re delighted to hear that Yeldhy not only drove you safely but also guided you and answered all your questions along the way. We’re glad you enjoyed the hidden waterfall, the hike, Selogriyo Temple, and the local coffee — exploring the countryside in Central Java is truly special, and it means a lot to us that you appreciated it. We hope to see you again for another adventure in the future. Safe travels and warm regards from all of us! Best wishes, Trans Marindo Team
