Cycling Tour at Kota Gede
Add a little something special to your Indonesian adventure and explore the historical sites of Kotagede by traditional transportation. We ride a bike and discover the heritage-soaked streets of this Yogyakarta neighbourhood.
Our tour passes through the Bumen village and Kembang Waru, where we get a glimpse into local life before continuing to the bustling traditional market of Pasar Gede, or Pasar Legi. Along the way, we stop off at one of the oldest mosques in Kota Gede, which dates back to 1575 and visit the Royal Cemetery (closed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays) where the remains of the first king of Mataram and his family lay.
We then discover a Joglo, a traditional Javanese house and admire a seamless blend of Javanese and colonial architecture, ahead of returning to our hotel.
