Description:

Experience the peacefulness of the landscape between Cetho Temple and Sukuh. Trek through picturesque mountainous villages, see unique carvings, and indulge in a traditional mouthwatering lunch.

After convenient hotel pickup your private guide gives you the details of the route. Then head toward the lush tea plantations of Mount Lawu. From here, you start your ascent to the mystic Cetho Temple—a Javanese-Hindu temple dating back to the 15th century. Wander around the complex and learn the history and legends behind the temple, which displays unusual fertility carvings and other Hindu elements.

Continue your trekking adventure and pass by small mountain villages, traveling across paths that cut across tea, vegetable, and fruit plantations that are tended to by locals. Then after a short drive, you reach Sukuh. Follow your guide and explore this imposing temple that displays stone carvings of phallic Hindu symbols, like the god Shiva. Your day is topped off with a traditional lunch before you head back to your hotel.
