A Whole Day In Pandanrejo Tourism Village - Purworejo Regency

Purworejo Regency is one of the regencies located on the border of Jawa Tengah. Neighboring the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Purworejo has an unbeatable charm.

Pandanrejo Tourism Village becomes a must-visit tourist attraction here. This village offers various natural attractions, activities, and culinary delights that you cannot find anywhere else. So, even spending a day here is not enough.

Sibutrong Hill can be the first tourist attraction you may visit. However, make sure you have good stamina and strong legs because you need to climb the sixty-nine rocky steps. After arriving at the top, the view of Purworejo, surrounded by hills and mountains, is very refreshing.

Besides, camping at the top of the hill would be fun since there is a large area which is enough to accommodate approximately fifteen tents. The cool atmosphere will make you do not want to go home.

After going down from Sibutrong Hill, you can visit Kampung Cantik (Beautiful Kampong). This village has houses rented out as homestays. Clean houses and friendly owners make the image of Kampung Cantik very well known. Even in the homestay, you can still find a traditional kitchen stove making you feel like at your grandmother's house. For the price, it is starting from IDR 100.000s per night. Very affordable, isn’t it?

What makes Kampung Cantik attractive is the educational activity of connecting plants in three colors. Usually, kindergarten or elementary school students join the educational activity. The residents here also sell various plant seeds at low prices. They have janda bolong (Adanson's monstera), keladi tisu (Caladium), and many more.

Then, it feels incomplete if you do not visit Etawa Goat Farm. The goats here have incredibly achieved achievements at the national level. You can interact with the goats accompanied by the owner--starting from feeding, milking, to drinking goat's milk which is still fresh and warm.

Satisfied with drinking goat's milk, you can continue the journey to the summit of Mount Gajah. This tourist attraction offers a view of Purworejo and even Yogyakarta from an altitude of 835 masl. There is a Mount Gajah tower that you must climb because on top of this tower you can see the beauty of Mount Slamet, Mount Menoreh, and also Mount Merbabu. For you who like to ride a bike, this is also suitable as your destination because the uphill and a little winding track is quite challenging. The entry ticket is also very cheap; you only need to pay IDR 5.000.
