To the Selogriyo 🛕 temple

🌾 Selogriyo Temple Hike | Magelang, Central Java
On the green slopes of Mount Sumbing, we followed a village path past terraced rice fields to a tiny 8th–9th-century Hindu shrine that feels wonderfully off-grid. It’s quieter than the big names, and most travelers say the walk is gentle—about 2 km through paddies with wide-open countryside views. If you’re coming from Borobudur, plan roughly 1–1.5 hours to the trailhead—totally worth it for the serenity and scenery.

Loved the little moments: farmers waving from the terraces, the breeze off the hills, and that first glimpse of the temple perched above the fields. Soft-trek vibe and photo stops all along the way—maybe even catch Mt. Sumbing peeking through the clouds.Read more
