To get the view from the site, just walk or hire the horse-cart westwards and you look southwards when you have reached the place. You may get to the place by riding a horse that you shall rent at negotiable price.
Parangtritis is a beach full of myths, which is believed to be the manifestation of the unity among Merapi Mountain, Yogyakarta Kingdom, and Parangtritis Beach. The legend tells that Panembahan Senopati and Sunan Kalijaga once met in this place after completing their meditation. Panembahan Senopati was reminded of being a humble ruler despite his supernatural powers.
Blader!, why no one swim or sun bath at the beach one?
ReplyDeleteBlader: It is very high tide and this beach is very dangerous, not advisable to swim according to the guide.
ReplyDeleteNormally people go there for sunrise and sunset, we were there around 3pm. :)
Eh, u went to Jogja recently? And I still haven't go after the earthquake last year.

Wanwan: Thanks for dropping by. Yes, Borobudur is very similar to Angkor Wat bur each has its history.
ReplyDeleteYou can fly to Jogjakarta or Solo by Air Asia and Borobudur is somewhere in between this two cities. I think Air Asia have more flights to Jogja.
As for budget accommodation, there are budget hotel or backpackers hostel. You may have to search more about it. I stayed at Ibis which is right in the town centre. :)
